Social Security's Cash Crunch: Solutions for Survival
from The Daily News Now! Business
Social Securitys Trust Fund is projected to deplete by 2032, leading to a 23% benefits cut. The primary cause is skyrocketing income inequality, with high earners wages surging faster than average. Currently, 83% of wages are taxed, down from 90% in 1983. Proposed solutions include raising the wage cap, adding a new tier for high earners, or taxing benefits for wealthy retirees. Lawmakers must balance these tax adjustments with other measures to ensure Social Securitys longevity. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
