...return for that money, the Treasury gave the trust fund U.S. bonds--a wad of IOUs--and it's unfair to imply, as the commission does, that they have the value of, say, Confederate dollars. What the commissioners left out is that no one believes Uncle Sam will have trouble raising money to repay the bonds. Though the system will inevitably run aground without reform, most experts believe the Treasury will have ample surplus cash to fund retirees at least until 2025 and perhaps as late as 2038.

...country that denies there is a crisis." Gabriel Madieye sees the result of that neglect. The head of the Shepherd's Hospice for HIV-positive patients consults more than 100 new HIV patients a month. But because the tiny clinic has only two beds, he feels it is unfair to admit anyone because it will mean turning away dozens more. So he gives outpatients basic drugs, counsels them and slowly works on the hospice building, laying a few extra rows of bricks every time he gets a donation. "We've been through one war," he says, pausing to point...
