Perhaps so, but if you do that, you're changing the nature of SS from how it was origignally sold, an insurance program, not a welfare program. Every time you move shells around like that you lose a little credibility. Evenutally nobody believes your pronouncements. Quite possibly 'eventually' is already here.

Lol indeed. To make it like the market after WWII we would need to nuke Asia. Then all those manufacturing jobs will come back if they don't get sidetracked in Africa.
