86 more social security checks before 23% cut in benefits if nothing is done...4 years to do something if Dems win 2028

There's no chance anything (except maybe raising retirement age) will happen under maga

from 10 minute mark

1. I don't think

Taxing hedge funds a social security tax would be a bad idea. I’ve read that this would generate significant funds.

3. This is what could make a difference....raising the limit or maybe a progressive schedule based on how income/wealth.

Social Security Tax Limit
Current Limits

The Social Security tax limit is the maximum amount of earnings subject to Social Security taxes. For 2025, this limit is set at $176,100. This means that any income earned above this amount is not subject to Social Security taxes.
Future Changes

In 2026, the limit will increase to $184,500. This annual adjustment is made to keep pace with wage growth.

6. Simple fix

Just create a donut hole from current cap to 750k or a million then start it back up.

8. Benefits have always been linked to contributions

Will their SS benefits rise to reflect the additional amounts they are being taxed on?

[FHRRK]

9. It is capped

Could use a ratio to fill the donut hole gap.

10. ELIMINATE the tax cap totally, make millionaires and billionaires pay the same percentage

as most workers on ALL of their income---

and not only would Social Security and SSDI be fully funded for the rest of the century--
but perhaps benefits could even be expanded!

YES, Democrats should RUN on this issue--- and the sooner the better!
(It would rhyme well with 'no kings'!)

[Bayard]

11. THIS!

This, this, this, this!



I don't want to hear anymore crap about raising the retirement age, or cutting benefits.

[yorkster]

13. Yes. Raise the damn cap!

[Scrivener7]

2. Tax the fucking rich. No one should be allowed to have a second billion.

[Jack Valentino]

12. Nobody NEEDS a second billion....

4. Unless Dems can regain control of Congress in 2026....

I fear that the Repubs will privatize both Social Security and Medicare before the 2028 election.

[NowsTheTime]

5. We need at least the House at mid-terms, both would be better..

My guess is that there there are bunch of magas that will be affected by this, but have no clue about it.

7. Obama tried to do something and was bashed by his own party. Unless we regain power, guess who'll be

handling this issue.

Every Social Security Trustee's Report since at least 2010 has included this prediction, plus or minus a few years.
