Abstract
The Social Security solvency problem extends far beyond the structure of the current system. The core dilemma is that many economists are projecting a very large drop in the percentage of adults who are working, a scenario that translates into a very large drop in the number of taxpayers supporting not just Social Security but education, defense, Medicare, and every other public program.
