Pragmatic Rules: Social Security Shortfall Poll Results
Category: Social Security
December 12, 2024 — The results are in from last week’s instant poll, and they have a practical bent. The question to be voted on was, “What do you think will happen when the Social Security Trust Fund Runs Out of Money in 2033?”. We received over 150 votes, which gives us a good sample of what our Members are thinking (thanks to all who voted)!
The winning option was definitely pragmatic – 28% voted for “Payroll taxes increased and/or change to maximum earnings ceiling.” This is certainly a practical solution, one that we at Topretirements definitely agree with.
