Description

New survey reveals a significant divide on funding Social Security, with younger Americans preferring to cut benefits over higher taxes, while seniors advocate for increased contributions. The survey also uncovers a widespread misunderstanding of how Social Security works, with many believing its a personal savings plan. This confusion complicates efforts to address the programs financial challenges, as the public struggles to grasp the urgency and mechanics of the systems shortfall. Experts propose various solutions, but no consensus has been reached. Some suggest creating an independent commission to study and enact reforms, supported by seventy-one percent of Americans.
