USA's Social Security Fund Bankrupt In 6 Years But Republicans Avoiding Solution: Warren Attacks GOP

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) presses for action to protect Social Security benefits during a congressional hearing, warning that retirees could face a 22% benefit cut if the Social Security trust fund becomes insolvent. Warren argues that Congress should make the wealthiest Americans contribute more rather than reduce benefits for seniors and people with disabilities. Warren calls for scrapping the Social Security payroll tax cap and closing loopholes that allow wealthy investors to avoid paying Social Security taxes on certain income. She challenges witnesses on whether these reforms could strengthen the program’s finances and help protect benefits for millions of Americans. #ElizabethWarren #SocialSecurity #Retirement #USPolitics #Seniors Project America explores the politics, economy, society and global role of the United States through a liberal lens.
