But there may be a light at the end of this long, dark tunnel. Most people expect a fairly radical trimming of entitlements. The Medicare prescription plan is toast, there will be "needs testing" for SS and Medicare. The size of government may be forced to shrink. A lot of people will get hurt as the entitlements dry up, but we may emerge with a smaller more efficient government. Not saying it will happen, but it's possible.
