Social Security was envisioned as a social insurance program funded by workers and employers to relieve poverty for retired people, disabled individuals, and their survivors.
Despite alarming news stories about Social Security's potential insolvency by 2035, the program is continually funded by payroll taxes and investment income, ensuring its resources remain substantial.
Social Security is politically sensitive, often described as the 'third rail' of U.S. politics; no politician will risk making changes that could jeopardize it.
