Here’s what I would like to know:
IS THERE A WAY OF SAVINGSOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE WITHOUT HAVING TO CUT ANYTHING FOR THOSe WHO ARE RETIRE OR NEAR RETIREMENT?
All I’m hearing so far are patchwork solutions. We need a fully integrated plan to solve this problem.

You mean other than reducing our lifespan? ;-)
We need our republic back first because Deep State doesn’t give a damn if either/both go bust.
And there is one. Death. The Boomers are already departing this realm at 10,000 per day. The Social Security problem will solve itself.
Of course, we could encourage "vaccinations" that will more rapidly kill off the population of older people that are drawing social security benefits.
Oops! Those "vaccinations" are preferentially killing off younger people who are still paying into the system. Maybe we better revise that acceleration plan. Don't we need young people to do all the nasty real work that needs doing?
How about that Artificial Intelligence? We can get computers to do all the work, so we don't need those young people after all. Wait! What? The AIs become insane and hostile to their creators and users. Well, we can still pull the plug. That'll show 'em!
Maybe we can just say to Hell with it! We will go for the traditional solution of economic collapse, followed by the ride of the Apocalyptic four horsemen. Let future generations deal with the problem. Oh crap! We are that future generation.
There is no soft landing.
The answer is no. Sorry you probably do not like that answer, and you will get angry at that answer, but it IS the answer.
