Considering that Republicans cannot even unite to kick criminal illegal immigrants off Medicaid with President Donald Trump‘s “big, beautiful bill,” the notion that the president’s party would dare to reform the rest of the entitlement Leviathan is laughable, let alone the idea that Democrats even consider our fiscal trajectory a bad thing.

But despite the bipartisan consensus in Congress that putting the majority of our annual spending on autopilot is sustainable, the math doesn’t lie: In the 2025 audit of our nation’s largest entitlements, the Social Security Board of Trustees warned that both Social Security and Medicare, over a third of our annual federal outlays, will reach insolvency in 2033, accelerating at a faster rate than previously anticipated toward bankruptcy. And when they reach their “go-broke” dates, the benefit cuts will be even bigger than previously assumed.
