Comments on: Social Security now running 12-month cash deficits – UPDATE – Worse than expected http://norunnyeggs.com/2010/03/social-security-now-running-12-month-cash-deficits/ The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger).

However, unlike the "do-nothing" plan of the Democrats that require ever-greater infusions of cash from higher taxes and/or even more deficit spending to prop up the current Ponzi scheme, they would have replaced said Ponzi scheme with a mix of privately-held funds and a floor provided by the feds.

That plan was summarily dismissed, which makes this situation even more ironic. Well, there you go. Hopefully that worked, if not, sorry for wasting your time.
