Could you define ‘fiscal sound’. Some would argue even Greece is fiscally sound, they do have some kinda plan to adress the issues.

ParticipantThe sad part is that the Medicare and SS issues can be solved quite easily (well, in practice – not politically): raise the age at which folks start receiving benefits from 65 to 70. Voila! Problem solved. Literally, more than 40% of the projected liability would disappear. And the remaining liability can be funded under the status quo. But that AARP… they’re indefatigable.
Also, having folks actually work an extra five years would be good for the country’s overall productivity.
