Social Security Trust Fund to be Depleted in 2035; Agency Will No Longer Be Able to Pay Full Benefits Beginning That YearWell, the public had a choice between acting to fix this or letting it fester into an emergency and letting groups -- old people expecting full benefits, and young people not wanting to be taxed more -- fight it out when the emergency came. We'll have to see how that works out for everybody.
Social Security's Opens a New Window. reserve funds are expected to be depleted in 2035, at which time the program will no longer be able to pay out benefits in full. I think a political bet was made in resisting a small change to Social Security: That, when the Trust Fund dried up and the options became reducing payments or increasing taxes on current workers, the mix of voters would be more favorably inclined to increase taxes on workers to uphold the promises the government made to retirees. Every year that goes by, that looks like a worse and worse bet. Younger voters seem to hold their elders in contempt, and already have their own demands for government dollars, like free college Derek Hunter writes about the ginned-up "student loan crisis" -- the media's and Democrats' (but I repeat myself) use of the word "crisis" is battlespace preparation for the notion that Something Must Be Done!, and that something involves a massive wealth-transfer from people who didn't go to college or who went to college long ago to people who are going to college now or went a short while ago. He watched CNN's five hours of town halls with Democrat Socialists on Monday, and here's his after-inaction report. A day after more than 300 people were killed in a terrorist attack because of their faith, I don't remember a single question or statement from anyone about it. There were, however, a lot of questions about student loans. Derek Hunter has his own plan to solve the "student loan crisis" -- "lol get fucked" -- but I don't think the Millennial voting bloc is going to permit that.
