New Senators Face Social Security Solvency Crisis

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The program's trust fund is projected to be depleted by late 2032, which would necessitate an automatic cut in benefits. Several incoming senators have proposed solutions, including eliminating or raising the cap on wages subject to payroll taxes, while others suggest reforms focused on private savings or cutting government waste.
