Social Security’s retirement trust fund: 2021: $2.75 trillion 2032: $0 Washington has known this was coming for decades. And yet they continue to do what they do best: Wait until a problem becomes a crisis before dealing with it.

If you were born in 1968 you turn 64 in 2032. You’ve paid into Social Security every single paycheck for over 40 years. You were promised it would be there. Social Security is projected to be insolvent by 2033. That’s not a maybe. That’s the government’s own estimate. Congress borrowed from the fund for decades. Never paid it back. Now the people who spent it are debating how to tell the people who earned it that it’s gone. Meanwhile we just approved another $800,000,000,000 defense budget. Found that money immediately. No debate. No delay. But your retirement check that you paid for your entire working life? That’s a budget problem. The government didn’t run out of money. They ran out of interest in protecting yours.

We are deploying a single, converged architecture that unites mobile connectivity and broadband into one seamless experience for millions of families and businesses, while simultaneously building the high-capacity, low-latency backbone AI hyperscalers demand. With Corning as our partner, we are securing the physical foundation of America’s AI economy.” Mike O’Day, SVP and GM, Corning Optical Communications: “Corning is thrilled to deepen our three-decade partnership with Verizon as we provide our latest optical innovations in fiber, cable, and connectivity to link AI data centers together while ensuring more Americans have access to AI with high-speed fiber connections at home.
