constantly hear about how Social Security is
going to run out of money.

How come we never hear about welfare or
food stamps running out of money? What's
interesting is the first group "worked for"
their money, but the second didn't.

All of them are out of money (not "running out") SS is a bigger
problem because 10,000 people a day are turning 65 and that will
continue for a couple decades.
The solution seems to be to just print more money. So far they are
getting away with it but that won't last much longer and the crash
will be rapid.
