Russ Greene: Social Security bankruptcy in 2032 attributed to lack of action by seniors
Seniors blamed for Social Security crisis

Russ Greene argues that the responsibility for Social Security's potential bankruptcy in 2032 lies with seniors. He points out that the issue has been anticipated since the 1990s, referencing a 1996 debate involving William F. Buckley and Democratic politicians about possible solutions. Greene highlights that options such as slowing benefit growth or privatizing the program were available but ultimately not pursued by seniors, leaving fewer choices now.

Greene has previously flagged mounting pressures on retirement systems, noting that L.A.’s pension costs exceed $100 million a month, with some retirees receiving over $1 million. He has also written about generational attitudes, discussing how boomers approach topics like industrial production and technology. The author’s ongoing coverage focuses on the financial challenges posed by aging populations.
