  • SPECIAL REPORT: Social Security Is Running Out of Money. What Happens Next?

    SPECIAL REPORT: Social Security Is Running Out of Money. What Happens Next?
    Oct 28 2026

    We've been paying into Social Security our entire working lives. But the retirement trust fund is projected to run dry in 2032, and millions of Americans could face a 22% cut in benefits if Congress doesn't act.

    So where did all that money go?

    In this special episode, I break down how Social Security really works, why it's running short on money, and how Washington ended up making trillions in promises it hasn't fully funded.

    I also get into the looming Medicare crisis, the growing burden on younger generations, and why the decisions Washington makes could affect not just your retirement benefits, but the purchasing power of your money.

    • The gold-standard economist the Senate wouldn’t confirm just got hired by the Treasury, and why that’s an important signpost
