Because the Social Security trust fund started with 0 real assets, and
has been pilfered by politicians with special interest projects and
pork-barrel politics, it is due to have less income than payouts in
2015. Which means that either people's payouts will have to be
reduced, the fund's reserve interest will have to be tapped, or those
currently paying into it will have to pay more (which means more
taxes).

Social Security has been pilfered by Congress for a long time before
the GW Bush administration.

Pelosi hasn't any room to talk.  

Feb.2003
Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco has pushed through $1 million in federal
funds for a think tank started by her longtime adviser and campaign
treasurer, former Lt. Gov. Leo T. McCarthy, sparking concerns that she
is rewarding a supporter with taxpayer money.

The $1 million appropriation for the Center for Public Service and the
Common Good at the University of San Francisco was among thousands of
items buried in the 3,000-page, $397.4 billion omnibus appropriations
bill that Congress passed last week after just a few hours of debate.

Pelosi's office confirmed Thursday that the San Francisco Democrat,
who was elected House minority leader in November, obtained the $1
million for the USF center, without requiring McCarthy and USF to go
through the normal application process for such grants.

Until she became minority leader, Pelosi was a senior member of the
House Appropriations Committee, the panel that annually adds thousands
of "unrequested funding earmarks" at the request of individual
senators and House members for projects back home.
