The programs that have been talked about that are supposed to be so bad are only going so poorly now because of the number recipients vs the number of tax payers paying in. When SS was enacted there were far more paying in than receiving benefits. With all the baby boomers dieing off and the Executive Office's constant borrowing from it the program is near its breaking point.
I think the largest problems with the three programs are that illegal immigrants(who did not pay in) are eligible for benefits and the government continues to steal the dividends from our payments into them.
There is no reason the systems(or better systems with the same goals) can't work. The only limiter on the programs is whether or not the citizens want them.
