I think the first thing to do is fix the US economy and then see how the SS and Medicare funds are doing. It's still hard to believe isn't it that with the Baby Boomers coming on, no increases in payroll tax for 3 decades, and the Congress of the people of the United States claims we have to raise the age limit and cut benefits instead of raise payroll taxes to keep the fund solvent?

To me, this is one of those Ironies and Opposites I write about.
