Social Security Don’t Miss
From Optimist Economy · 52:45
Show by Kathryn Anne Edwards and Robin Rauzi
What’s with the persistent narrative of Social Security's impending doom? Are the baby boomers draining the trust fund? Are Americans living too long? No and no. There are just two of the many misunderstandings people have about what economist Kathryn Edwards will tell you (for hours if you let her) is, truly, the most popular and effective public program in U.S. history. She’s also optimistic that Congress will make necessary reforms just before the trust fund is depleted in 2035. Which is good. Because Robin does want to be able to retire.✨ Support the Optimist Economy podcast at: https://optimisteconomy.substack.com/subscribe or https://buymeacoffee.com/optimisteconomy ✨Read More: A Young Person’s Guide to Social Security Ten Years Since Hurricane Katrina | SSA You can also find Optimist Economy on: TikTok YouTube Instagram
