Social Security is in Bigger Trouble than most Realize

The chart below shows my projections based on when the Social Security Trust Fund will go broke.  I'm assuming Receipts will increase by 2% a year while Expenditures will rise by 3% a year.  Meanwhile keep in mind by the end of 2015 the Disability Trust Fund will be broke.  The CBO projects the Disability Trust Fund will run up a deficit of nearly 1 Trillion Dollars by 2023 which means it will have to be funded by something.  Recently Stephan Goss, the chief actuary for Social Security said the best way to fund the Disability Fund was to raid the Social Security Trust Fund (SSTF).  If they raid the SSTF for 100 Billion starting in 2016 by the end of 2022 (point A) the SSTF will be broke according to my estimates.
