Lots of other experts disagree with Mr. Walker, including Nobel Prize winning economists who know a thing or two about the program. He was never, by the way, responsible for the administration of any of the programs you mention, including Social Security, which is administered by a Social Security commissioner.

      <![CDATA[Mr. Weller your statements are contradicted by Mr. David M. Walker, both in his book, Comeback America, and by his recent statements. During his ten years as the head of the Government Accountability Office (GAO), he also was responsible for administration of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid programs and knows their financial status intimately.

It is simply untrue that the assets are gone. By law, the trust fund holds all the assets of the program.

      <![CDATA[The Federal Government has spent us into a crisis and your article contains major inaccuracies. Social Security is not "fully self-financed" because the government has been spending what it collects in payroll taxes which is supposed to fund Social Security.

      <![CDATA[Notice that the CEOs involved with "Fix The Debt", Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs and Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan Chase, are part of the Big Banks that got TARP bailouts, Goldman Sachs getting $800 billion alone, and DImon implicated in the LIBOR rate-fixing scandal. <br>
<br>
If they can't manage their own affairs, how do they think they can fix social security?
