Social Security’s trust fund runs short in 2032. Guess who controls Congress. (Ad)

Social Security's retirement trust fund is projected to run dry in late 2032, per the 2026 Trustees Report. After that, only about 78% of scheduled benefits can be paid unless Congress acts. Higher taxes, smaller checks or more borrowing are all on the table. The morning after Democrats took Congress, gold jumped almost 3% and silver jumped 4%.
