Republicans want to expand Social Security by tacking on a paid parental leave entitlement to the program. More than 200 House Democrats are pushing to expand Social Security’s benefits by an average of 2% across the board. With Paul Ryan’s speakership tenure passed, President Trump in the White House, and Bernie Sanders leading the Democratic Party in practice, the only bipartisan agreement between our D.C. overlords is the shameless embrace of Social Security.

The “lockbox” of the Social Security trust fund will also run out and become insolvent, spiking our federal deficit, by just 2035.
