The next generation is getting paid back too. Social Security is solvent for the next 40 years or so, the next 75 with some very mild adjustments such as means-testing and gradually raising the retirement age as people (on average) live longer.
And as we’ve seen, none of the “budget-hawk heroes” will dare touch it. Other than trying to goad their opponents into talking about Social Security cuts.
