19. 13 Years????
That's preposterous! Where did you get those projections? Even the most dire projections from the rabid right place it at 2031, and these are the same geniuses who claimed that gov't revenues would go up if they lowered marginal tax rates.

Admit it, you just made up that 13 year number, didn't you? There were NEVER 33 workers per recipient. You made that up too.

The demographics, the real ones, not the ones you made up, do not reflect that the problem is created by that as much as by declining real wages. Do a multivariate model of the financing cycle of SS. You'll see. Of course, that would require real data and real analysis and not just some made up canards.
