55. Greenspan is talking about the SS "securities" coming due.
That's the only crisis facing SS -- collecting the $1.2 trillion Dumbshit has "borrowed" from the trust fund to finance his tax cuts and colonial war.

That's not a Social Security problem; that's Bush's problem. Let him figure out how to pay back the cash he borrowed without stealing everybody's pension, which is what his totally unnecessary "reform" is all about.

Take a look at this article from March 11, 2004:

"With Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's help, the Bush administration would rob retirees to pay for tax cuts for the rich. Greenspan recently urged Congress to reduce Social Security benefits and raise the retirement age (now 65 to 67 depending on birth year) rather than roll back the tax cuts, which are the main cause of growing budget deficits."
