Decide whether the statement makes sense. Explain your reasoning.The government has been borrowing from the Social Security trust fund for many years. This will cause a problem when it has to pay out more in Social Security benefits than it collects in Social Security taxes. Sally, who graduated college in 2005, says that it won't happen in her lifetime but that it might happen in her children's lifetime.
What will be an ideal response?
It is true that there will be a problem when the government has to pay out more in Social Security benefits than it collects in Social Security taxes. However this will probably happen in Sally's lifetime. 2040 is the year when intermediate projections say that the Social Security trust fund will go bankrupt.
