It has been predicted that adhering to current practice will reduce national debt from $3.5 trillion to $865 billion in only nine years. Though it will enable the economy to grow faster, it will also have unpredictable results on the financial sector. It will also allow some bail-out of Social Security so that active workers will not be working to directly support two families - their own and some unknown person who already has reached retirement age.
