bunker predicted finally caught up with us? stuart varney has caught up with us, the host of varney a& compay on the fox business network. was archie right? no, he was wrong. your check, brian, even at your age is safe but we do have a huge problem. for the first time in 25 years, last year, late last year, the social security paid out more than it brought in. it went to the deficit. that gets worse. we re eating away at this $2 1/2 trillion trust fund. it will run out by 2037 so you ve got to fix social security. there will be, i predict, an increase in the retirement age. there will be an increase in the taxable base for social security. both those things will happen but not for sometime to come but the fix will happen. right, so many people were worried about their social security and stuff like that but ultimately, wouldn t there be more money for social security if washington just wasn t so drunk spending our dough? well, sort of, yes.
