When the fund empties, the law triggers an automatic 22% cut to every check β roughly $500 a month for the average beneficiary, hitting 70 million Americans.
Speaker Mike Johnson, two days before this report dropped, called Social Security an "entitlement" that needs to be "adjusted."
They called it a gift, but in reality it's a robbery.
