WEALTHY COUPLES NOW COLLECTING $100,000 A YEAR IN SOCIAL SECURITY New proposal would cap benefits at $100,000 per couple or $50,000 per individual to help keep the program solvent beyond 2032. The change could save up to $190 billion over a decade and close at least 20% of the funding gap. Full Story: dallasexpress.com/national/wealt…

📰 Ahead of today’s @HouseBudgetGOP Committee hearing on the 3% deficit-to-GDP target, @thehill published an op-ed by Bipartisan Fiscal Forum Co-chairs @RepHuizenga and @RepScottPeters highlighting the nation’s unsustainable fiscal outlook and emphasizing their support for the 3% deficit-to-GDP goal – an achievable target that would put debt-to-GDP on a sustainable path.

📈 With the record high debt and deficits, the federal budget on an unsustainable path and one thing is clear — we need to correct our fiscal course. “Picking a target is a necessary first step,” said @MayaMacGuineas.

Some of America's wealthiest couples are collecting $100,000 in Social Security benefits — a six-figure payout that a new proposal says should be capped to help the retirement program avoid insolvency in 2032. cbsn.ws/47l2FNj

“With the federal government $39 trillion in debt and running deficits larger than during the Great Depression, there’s no reason that the largest federal spending program should be sending six figures in annual benefits to rich people. Yet that’s exactly what Social Security is set to do.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

📽️WATCH: In today's Senate @BudgetGOP hearing on #SocialSecurity, @SenRonJohnson cites @MayaMacGuineas's recent testimony on the generational divide in how the government allocates its resources. ⤵️ "...This is according to Maya MacGuineas, for every $1 spent on youth, we spend $6 on seniors. There's been an enormous shift in terms of people in poverty over the past many decades, seniors in poverty versus children – now that's been reversed."

➡️In combination with other reforms, the Six Figure Limit we recently proposed could help restore #SocialSecurity solvency in a targeted, timely, progressive, and pro-growth way. With #insolvency approaching in 2032, it's time for #TrustFundSolutions. Read more on this below ⤵️

🚨NEW: A Six Figure Limit for Social Security Social Security is less than seven years from insolvency – and yet, despite facing large deficits, Social Security now pays the wealthiest couples roughly $100,000 in annual benefits. Although only a tiny fraction of couples will enjoy such generous benefits in the near term, six-figure benefits will become increasingly common over time. Our newest paper in our Trust Fund Solutions Initiative offers a new option to improve Social Security solvency: establishing a Six Figure Limit for program benefits. Learn more about the Six Figure Limit below🧵⤵️

ICYMI 📰 The @washingtonpost @postopinions published an editorial today highlighting the looming Social Security shortfall and supporting the Committee’s newly-proposed Six Figure Limit for Social Security benefits – improving the program’s solvency over time by ensuring the wealthiest couples are not paid more than $100,000 in annual benefits.

⏰With #SocialSecurity in trouble and automatic cuts on the horizon upon insolvency, it’s time to limit benefits for the wealthiest retirees to $100,000 per year. 👉A Six Figure Limit is a FAIR and RESPONSIBLE way to help save the program, boost payable benefits for 80% of beneficiaries, and increase progressivity. Learn more about the Six Figure Limit ➡️ crfb.org/sixfigurelimit.

This is one of the better spending fixes for Social Security I have seen. So glad the @BudgetHawks are trying to figure out new options for policymakers.
