Social Security and Medicare insolvency pushed back a bit
The Washington Post reports that Social Security will be insolvent by 2035 and Medicare by 2036, a less dire forecast than earlier years but still prompting calls for urgent action. Trustees cite strong payroll tax receipts from a thriving job market, yet aging demographics and rising beneficiaries maintain a bleak long term outlook. Lawmakers eye 2025 as a window for reforms, with proposals including targeted tax changes and selective benefit adjustments while avoiding abrupt cuts.
