Ten years ago, at the peak of the global financial crisis, the Board of Trustees which oversees Social Security in the United States issued a stark warning:
They projected that Social Security’s enormous trust funds would completely run out of money in 2039.
Naturally nobody paid attention. Back in 2009 the economy in shambles, so focusing on a future economic crisis that was more than three decades away was a low priority.
And for the past decade, the US government has continued to ignore its Social Security problem.
But it’s become much worse.
Ten years later, the Board of Trustees now projects that Social Security’s primary trust fund will run out money in 2034.
That’s five years earlier than they projected back in 2009. And it’s only 15 years away.

So we'll still have cash when Dem candidates and like minded fools tell us the world will end?
In the words of the soon to no longer be published Alfred E. Neuman, "What, me worry?"
Start taxing the people who are collecting Social Security and still working!
Solution....take the money from whatever fund you normally rob from, whether its SNAP, Welfare, congress healthcare and put MY money BACK in there. I want it back when I retire!
1:07 I agree with you! Take the money from Welfare and Food Stamps! Go back to handing out food! Not giving out money!
