Actually the climate change apocalypse could be a good thing...
Social Security Will Be Insolvent in 16 Years
So we're probably only 15 years away from Congress deciding that's a big enough crisis to do something about it.
Social Security will be insolvent and unable to pay the full value of promised benefits by 2035—that's one full year later than previously expected—and Social Security's costs will exceed its income by 2020, according to a new report published Monday by the program's trustees.
At the end of 2018, Social Security was providing income to about 67 million Americans. About 47 million of them were over age 65, and the majority of the rest were disabled. If nothing changes, the Social Security Trust Fund will be fully depleted by 2035 and the program would impose across-the-board cuts of 20 percent to all beneficiaries. That may sound like it's a long way off, but 51-year-old workers today will be just hitting retirement age when the cuts kick in. Some current retirees will still be younger than 80.
[...]
