I hate coverage like this because yes, Social Security benefits will have to be cut *if nothing changes*. It’s a policy choice. If we choose to do nothing, like the Western states doing nothing about depleted water, there will be consequences
PBS NewsAmericans’ Social Security benefits will have to be cut by roughly a quarter in six years due to depleted funds, according to a June report from the Social Security Board of Trustees. That’s months sooner than the group had estimated in 2025. https://to.pbs.org/4f39DL0
