Quotes - "Crisis point"

I thought I'd share this quote from Bartcop:

"In 2018, Social Security will begin paying out more money than it takes in. This is what
Dennis Hastert calls the “crisis point.” But the entire federal government is paying out
more money than it takes in right now. Indeed this has been the case for four years, thanks
to GOP tax-and-spending policies, and it will continue. Why is it that a modest deficit in
Social Security that won’t begin for over a decade requires immediate radical action,
while a vastly greater overall federal deficit occurring right now doesn’t?"
