Social Security Cash Negative

An excellent article, by Allan Sloan, of Fortune states that the next bailout will be Social Security.  The article, Next in Line For a Bailout: Social Security,  states

Those actions produced hefty cash surpluses, which until this year have helped finance the rest of the government.
