Working Americans under 55 subsidize retirees and welfare, Russ Greene argues
Medicare and Social Security cuts proposed

Russ Greene argues that working Americans under 55 are being financially burdened to subsidize retirees and those living off welfare.

He advocates for major reductions to Medicare and sharp Social Security cuts, framing these changes as issues of economic justice.

Greene has previously cited the strain of $40 trillion in U.S. debt and $89 trillion in unfunded government obligations in his analysis of fiscal challenges, questioning the burden on individuals in a recent article. He also attributed the projected 2032 Social Security bankruptcy to what he describes as inaction by seniors, referencing missed policy opportunities since the 1990s in a separate commentary. These assessments frame his calls for entitlement reform.
