War costs. out. of. control. Furthermore, the US's debt is owned by powerhouses like China and the Middle East oil nations. On anther note, the cashing out of RSPs (IRA’s in the US?) in massive numbers is said to surely have an effect soon on the rest of the markets. I dunno though, I guess we’ll see. Good luck.

Sure, we’re going to have ever so slightly higher taxes, or means testing, or something along those lines but I doubt Social Security is going to completely implode. Then again, I thought the Jets were going to challenge the Patriots this year so my judgment is suspect.
