Opinion: Lifting the Social Security taxing cap would help fund valuable program
05022018 SOCIAL SECURITY
Economically, this pandemic has gotten out of hand, and I believe the worst is still to come as people lose jobs and many lose their health insurance.Part of most personal financial plans includes Social Security. At this time, the trust fund should last until 2035, but beyond then, there is a problem unless the program is changed. One solution is to reduce benefits but a situation like this should wake up the nation to the fact that there are times — this is one of them — that Social Security is crucial for many people. Providing an income to the elderly also provides an economic stimulus to the economy.
