How much will it cost to not go broke?

[lehighguy]

We all know SS and Medicare are actuarialy bankrupt, and we are given rough years when this will happen.

What I want to know is how much of a budget surplus we would have to run starting in 2008 in order to make thier 75 year projections actuarially solvent.

Also, since the government already spent the "trust fund" I don't want those fictitious funds included in the calculation.
