The 2006 report [of the Social Security trustees], issued last week, seems largely unchanged from last year. Social Security is still projected to start taking in less cash than it spends in 2017 and to exhaust its trust fund in 2040, rather than in 2039. But things are actually worse than last year, because crunch time — when the program starts running a cash deficit — has crept a year closer. (Washington Post, Tuesday)
