The facts about social security
Time to call out the bullshit on the right.
While the right screams about the impending collapse of SS, the facts are that SS is currently running a surplus of $2.6 trillion. It can pay out every nickel owed until 2037, after that it can payout 80% of what is owed. So what do we do to fix SS when in runs short in 27 years? How about raise the pay in rate for those making over $500,000 by about %5 (currently people making $1M/year pay the same as those making $25k). Problem solved.
