It isn't much of a problem IF we *don't* start paying back the $4,634,739,130,665.17* in treasury debt held by the "trust fund". That sounds like a significant problem, perhaps worse than the $9,390,476,088,043.35* held by the public, as the public isn't *necessarily* looking to reduce their holdings in the next decade.
