I’ve been hearing this for many years. Wasn’t SS supposed to implode back in 2012? and early 2,000’s/late 90’s? And mid-80’s if memory serves?
SS implosion calculations never work because they don’t matter as long as Congress keeps appropriating funds to pay the benefits.
The way the SS game works is very simple—everything is fine until one day it is toast.
Those who are talking about when that day will come don’t know, and those who know are not talking...and it has _nothing_ to do with calculations or the “Trust Fund” at all.
This is a political issue, not a math exercise.
