Social Security's fate, either way, is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If we assume it will fail, that will remove the trust that supports it, and causes it to fail. If we assume it will succeed, we will severely resist attempts to dismantle it and keep it political kryptonite.
The media and buzz talking about how it will be gone is self-sabotaging (or a different kind of sabotaging from people like Musk, though I assume the comments here are legitimate anxiety over it).
I'd just keep that in mind as we start to doomsay it.
