The official Social Security website says the trust fund runs out in 2032, at which point seniors' benefits will be cut 22%.
Probably nothing.
At a 5% average interest rate, $63 trillion in debt means about $3.15 trillion a year just to pay interest.
By 2036, that could consume roughly 56% of federal revenue outside payroll taxes.

Taxing young people just to keep seniors from ever having to sell their family-sized homes is the bipartisan response we seem to have settled on to demographic collapse and housing unaffordability.
