MYTH: Social Security is in Trouble

This is a solid, proven myth.  The only trouble Social Security is in is the same trouble it's been in since before it was signed into law 84 years ago:  ignorant, malicious attacks by self-righteous ideologues.

As quoted in Social Security Works: 
The most important takeaways from the 2019 Trustees Report are that (1) Social Security has a large accumulated surplus, and (2) Social Security is extremely affordable. In three-quarters of a century, in 2095, Social Security will constitute just 6.07 percent of GDP. That is considerably lower, as a percentage of GDP, than Germany, Austria, France, and most other industrialized countries spend on their counterpart programs today.
The 2019 Trustees Report projects Social Security’s cumulative surplus to be $2.9 trillion. It shows that Social Security is fully funded until 2035, 93 percent funded for the next 25 years, 87 percent funded over the next 50 years, and 84 percent funded over the next 75 years.
Yet, like a malignancy, a thoroughly inaccurate New York Times article spread until one newspaper headline said Social Security would be insolvent in 6 months.
