Social Security Insolvency and the Implications for Younger Workers - Yonkers Times, Congressional Budget Office
Social Security’s looming insolvency, and the potential for substantial benefit cuts about six years from now, raises many concerns for America’s seniors dependent on the program’s earned benefits.

A Yonkers Times article posted yesterday presents commentary from The Peter G. Peterson Foundation on insolvency’s threat to the economic future of younger Americans.
The Peterson article explores the near-term implications for younger workers' retirement planning, as well as the economic consequences of Social Security’s potential insolvency. Many political voices agree that policymakers will likely resolve the issue in time to avoid drastic consequences, but the clock keeps ticking. In fact.
