Thanks Joe … I recall reading Peterson’s “Running on Empty” (still on my bookshelf) nearly 20 years ago. Unfortunately, our politicians can’t see past the next election cycle, let alone a decade ahead … the SSI cap should have been eliminated years ago, like the Medicare tax - it is the most regressive of all taxes IMO.
Thanks, Joe. Lets hope current “leadership” doesn’t completely destroy the Social Security system, so that the next administration might possibly take action to preserve it. The cap seems like the most fair option
Joe, thank you so much for this. I especially liked the quotes peppered throughout. It's tragic that folks in power lose sight of addressing things before an emergency.
Taking down social security, which seems to be a (suicidal) goal of the administration specifically and the right wing generally may be the trigger that unleashes a tsunami of effective opposition.

Second. All in favor?

Let's not plan on that!
It does seem to be their plan.
