Yep. The United States has been kicking the can called Social Security down the road since the 1980s at least. Bush tried to do something about it in 2005 after his re-election, but the can-kickers stiffened their spine and then Katrina happened.
Immigration has been another can that's been kicked down the road repeatedly. The system is a total mess but the people trying to 'fix' it inevitably have plans that will only make it worse.
