If the GOP really thinks that the prospect of a Social Security that (like, e.g., the military) will start drawing on general revenues in 2050 is so bad, why isn't it doing something about the massive structural deficits we have
now, or the problems with the Medicare system that we'll be confronting much sooner? Social Security is hardly the greatest of our problems now.
eta: And the idea of adding trillions to the deficit to "save" Social Security from running deficits decades in the future would be comical if not for the fact that so many conservatives seem to be suspending cognitive functioning to line up behind it.
