The solvency problem is that payroll taxes and interest income no longer cover an expanding pool of Boomer/earlier retiree benefits, and SSA must sell reserves to cover the difference. That means the reserve will be exhausted by 2034 (estimate). Without a fix, 25% cuts to checks
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) January 4, 2024
The existing scheme is already progressive. Higher-earning taxpayers are unlikely to ever break even on what they contributed to the social security system. Lower-earning people may get back more. This, in fact, is already a redistribution/welfare scheme by design.

I don't think much of Biden's decision to base a campaign against Trump as a "threat to democracy", and I say that as one of the earliest Never Trumpers. Biden has already been running on that theme down to a 40% approval rating. It may rally his partisan base but he needs others

I'm not voting Dem or Trump. But Biden has a good chance. Trump is no Grover Cleveland, the only POTUS to win nonconsecutive terms. Trump has a hard time adding to his core 46%, his lead is not significant, and his ongoing legal problems could roil the race. A centrist agenda?
