(852 posts)41. SS is not going to be "insolvent"--EVER. That is a media lie.
The federal government and its programs CAN'T go "insolvent" or "broke." That is a LIE that has been spewed by Koch-backed interests who do not want to pay their half of the FICA taxes.
Any 'shortfall" can be easily made up by using the general fund, just as SSI is paid through the general fund.
Trump isn't going to get elected anyway. He can't do fuck all about SS without congressional approval.
