“When the federal government starts coming apart at its fiscal seams, Social Security will be the first thing to unravel. It is among the country’s largest financial challenges at over $50 trillion in unfunded obligations — Medicare is the largest. The Social Security Board of Trustees predicts that the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance trust fund will become insolvent in 2033. Social Security cannot continue as it is. Keeping at least a modified version will require either tax hikes, which millions of workers will oppose, or benefits cuts, which millions of retirees will oppose. But is there a third way? Hypothetically, if it were possible to phase out Social Security without cutting retirees’ benefits and without raising workers’ taxes, would Americans go for it?” (10/29/25)
