Other scenario is that when the world finally cuts off the Fed, the confiscated savings would quietly pay off a good chunk of what's owed to prevent an economic collapse/hyperinflationary period and allow reckless spending to continue. Either way, SS would be inexplicably broke again in a decade or two.
