Show Notes
A new report proposes capping Social Security benefits for high-income retirees to address the programs looming insolvency. The Six Figure Limit would restrict payments to $100,000 for couples and $50,000 for singles. This comes as the trust fund is set to run out by 2032 without changes, accelerated by recent tax cuts. Experts suggest either raising taxes on high earners or reducing benefits. The proposal could save between $100 billion and $190 billion over ten years while increasing payouts for the majority of recipients. With both parties acknowledging the crisis, pressure mounts for a compromise before automatic cuts affect millions of retirees in eight years.
