The week's question

The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

from the Fool:

President Donald Trump Has Dug a Nearly $169 Billion Hole for Social Security

According to the 2025 Trustees Report, the OASI's asset reserves -- excess income collected since inception that's invested in special-issue, interest-bearing government bonds, as required by law -- are expected to be depleted by 2033.

If the Trustees' forecast is accurate, retired workers and survivors of deceased workers could see their monthly checks slashed by up to 23% in seven years.

...the big, beautiful bill is projected to increase costs for the combined OASI and Disability Insurance trust fund by $168.6 billion from 2025 through 2034. This is a roundabout way of saying that reduced payroll tax income collected by Social Security from 2025 through 2028 is going to widen an already large unfunded obligation.

Water carriers for the regime have already been hinting at the plan: beat more work, for longer, out of the Proles.
