    There is still the possibility that the government will turn to the fair tax within the next 10 years

    Social Security will eventually run out if Republicans get their way.  But, it won't be in 2035. And, it won't happen at all if Democrats can get solid control of government in November.

    What makes you think it is going to run out in 2035?

    There is currently a $2.7 trillion dollars surplus in the SS Trust Fund.

    And a simple fix to make it viable for the next 100 years is to lift the current cap so that everyone pays into it no matter their income level.

    “Social Security benefits are not intended to be your only income source when you retire. On average, Social Security will replace about 40 percent of your annual pre-retirement earnings. You will need other savings, investments, pensions, or retirement accounts to live comfortably. Use this Statement as a tool for planning your financial future.

    Your estimated benefits are based on current law. Congress has made changes to the law in the past and can do so at any time. The law governing benefit amounts may change because, by 2034, the payroll taxes collected will be enough to pay only about 79 percent of scheduled benefits.“

    Translation: Retire rich or work for the rest of your life.
