I did read what you said, and you said "government percentage of gdp is a better measure than deficit", which is why the end of that paragraph is there. I still think focusing on "SS will be fucking up income vs. expenses in ten years, Oh Noes!" instead of "the whole government is fucking up income vs. expenses bigtime right now!" is focusing on SS because you don't like it as a program, rather than focusing on it because you're worried about the deficit.
