    It is not going to “run out”. That is republican talking point and propaganda. God damn that myth is believed by everyone.

    The concepts of solvency, sustainability, and budget impact are common in discussions of Social Security, but are not well understood. Currently, the Social Security Board of Trustees projects program cost to rise by 2035 so that taxes will be enough to pay for only 75 percent of scheduled benefits. ^1

    75% of benefits will still be paid in even the worse case scenario. The fear mongering is not necessary.
