Social security surplus? GONE! First time in its history!

Oh NO!  Social Security surplus is GONE!  First year this has happened.  It is being attributed to the recession.  With so many layoffs, employees have taken early retirement by accepting a "golden hand shake" or by having no choice.

 

This crisis was coming but it was rushed by the recession.  So, the question is "now what"?  A social security bail-out is inevitable. And they may raise the retirement age again.  If medical technology can keep us alive an extra 10 years, we should be able to work an extra ten, right?

 

Where does all this bail-out end?

Hi Ann,

Yikes, this is the first I've heard about this. Guess we will all be working a lot longer than originally planned. I just told a friend of mine earlier on the phone that I guess now I'm on the 99 year plan!

Don't look now but I'm told the unfunded liabililty of the Federal pension system totally swamps any concern about social security.
