I don't see the Tea Partiers gaining enough power to actually do that.
But I can see the programs failing regardless if they aren't financially solvent into the future. Large promised sums of money paid to future retirees based on a model of indefinite growth doesn't always turn out so well. See the American auto industry as an example. To ensure the New Deal and Great Society Programs remain solvent into the future, we're going to have to go through some restructurings somewhere along the way, and when we do no one will want to. The political consequences of various interest groups will make it a messy endeavor indeed.
