The Washington Post writes again on Social Security, describing the system as the "fiscally imperiled Social Security system." For the facts, CBO says that if nothing is done, the program first faces a shortfall in 40 years. It's too bad the Washington Post doesn't give the same attention to the problems (e.g. global warming, rising health care costs, the increasing prison population) that will impose much larger costs on the country. But, hey, it's a jihad.
