government to collect more money from taxes than was necessary to funds social security obligations. now, that created what you have heard a lot about, a surplus. but, as aging baby boomers have tapped the system, costs have started to exceed the income, and now those surpluses are shrinking. now, here's the big point. despite having to dip into those funds the combined trust funds assets are still worth a lot of money $2.6 trillion how financially sounds is the system? i know people have concerns about it. >> well, there are concerns. according to the report, the social security trust fund, will depleted in 2033. medicare they'll keep paying benefits without any changes through 2030. but, here's the big issue. an urgent problem has developed with the nation's disability benefits program. the report projects it's going

to be able to pay only 81% of disability benefits, starting just in a few years in late 2016. that's critical issue. >> sounds bill scary. so should we be worried? the good news although those two main trust funds will eventually be exhausted we still have a loft americans paying into the system, right? happen all revenues will cover three quarters of future costs, here is the problem fixing the system requires some pretty unsavory legislative decisions but we can fix it. for more on how the social security system is broken, but not broke, you can go to jill on money. com. all right jill schlessinger up in new york, thanks so much. >> thank you back in just a moment. stay with us. male announcer: the magic of the bay is waiting. explore maryland's coastal villages scenic waterways and the land of our national anthem along the star-spangled banner national historic trail.
