Social Security trust fund now projected to run dry in 2034, triggering massive benefit cuts​


Per the article this will require a 19% cut in 2034. Is our gov going to do nothing about this? What can be done?

FYI since 2022 they were saying it would run out of money by 2035...so this isn't a major headline since they are only moving the long held predication of 2035 down 1 year to 2034

You might think that all those people in Congress would be worried about their own Social Security and want to fix it for their future. But maybe not since so many are millionaires and probably have other sources of income, such as a pension and TSP.

It's literally the name of the EO he signed . Sell public lands to mining interest

Breaking down Trump’s “mine everywhere” order
Trump’s executive order “Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production” directs U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum to identify a list of “as many sites as possible” on national public lands known to hold mineral deposits and explicitly prioritize mining as the primary use of those lands, abandoning the congressional mandate to balance multiple uses.6 The directive includes revising existing land use plans to prioritize mining, bypassing requirements to solicit and incorporate public input, and prioritizing mining applications for immediate approval.7 Particularly when combined with the Department of the Interior’s recent move to truncate permitting review, this order has the potential to swiftly sell out public resources to mining corporations.8 Moreover, the mineral production order covers an extremely broad range of minerals—going beyond currently defined critical minerals—and allows the chair of the newly created National Energy Dominance Council to determine any additional compound or material as a “mineral.”9

While the United States does need to identify sustainable mineral sources for the clean energy transition, it must do so with intentional protection of communities and the environment, rather than brazen development on some of the nation’s greatest natural assets.10 The “mine everywhere” order, on the other hand, shamelessly benefits special interest.11 From the get-go, the order includes minerals that are not critical to U.S. needs—such as gold and coal—but will pad the pockets of billionaires and corporations.12
