I thought the article was quite biased.  In addition it stated problems
for everything and solutions for nothing (or few real solutions).
There was one comment on no more borrowing/spending from the "SS trust
fund", which was the best statement, and is an obvious solution to part
of the problem, IMO.

The real solution is to design SS the way the gov't wants it to work,
whether this is the same as it is now with much higher ages to collect
or reduced benefits for those which collect or some other design...
then come up with a compromise to transition to it.
