Democrats disagree that SS is in trouble

However, Democratic critics drew different findings from the report, arguing that it showed that Social Security was not in a crisis situation and did not require the private accounts that the administration wants to establish for younger workers.

“Today’s report confirms that the so-called Social Security crisis exists in only one place — the minds of Republicans,” said Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. “In reality, the program is on solid ground for decades to come.”

OOPS, this was from 2005, when Bush and the Republicans were trying to do something about it. I guess its only in trouble when the Democrats decide its an issue.
