Social Security trust fund to be exhausted by 2035 and Medicare in 2036, trustees project

The Medicare trust fund will be exhausted in 2036, and the combined Social Security trust fund will become exhausted in 2035, the programs’ trustees projected on Monday.

The report illustrates the long-term problems facing the entitlement programs, on which tens of millions of people rely. Nevertheless, it contained good news in that the deadlines have been moved back a bit from last year’s projections.

The extended timeline gives a bit more breathing room to Congress, where the looming depletion of the trust fund has become a top political issue. Both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have vowed not to cut the popular entitlement benefits for seniors.

Still, the fact that the dates are still just over a decade away is another reminder of the fiscal cliffs that are looming large and the need for lawmakers to craft a plan to keep the programs solvent.

But they will never run out of mad money to give to illegal aliens for free healthcare, free rent, free phones and a load of other free stuff.

There is no Social Security trust fund.

Same goes for Social Security.  It's been running in the red for the last decade.

There are two reasons for denying this, and I am sure both are in play.  First, people would freak out to discover this because the illusion of solvency will be gone.  The other reason is that if they were to admit it, they would lose the Sword of Demacles they presently are holding over the heads of retirees.

They'll never run out of money, period.

They will print it until the paper they print it on is worth more than the money. The addict has to get its fix.

That is probably the path they will follow

Bankrupting trust funds means more money to spend on the Ukraine.  The very same Ukraine the democrats have made certain we are going to lose much like we did in Afghanistan.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
