"And unless you are going to grow the number of investors at an exponential rate, that system is eventually going to collapse. Well, since we can't grow the workforce at an exponential rate, especially today when our population is actually in a state of decline, you're not going to be able to sustain a Ponzi scheme like Social Security," Antoni continued. "Eventually you need to sunset the program."

Antoni said current benefits need not be touched, but future retirees should not rely on the program. He advocated for transitioning to a system that uses private accounts "for just them."

"There's plenty of money available to pay for folks who are already retired," he said. "But the people who are going to retire 10, 20, even 30, or certainly 40 years from now—I'm sorry, but the program is not going to be viable at that time."

Antoni argued for "some kind of transition program where, unfortunately, you'll need a generation of people who pay Social Security taxes but never actually receive any of those benefits," he continued. "And that sounds harsh, but unfortunately that's the price to pay for unwinding a Ponzi scheme that was foisted on the American people by the Democrats in the 1930s."

He's not just getting rid of COLA but the whole damn Social Security. I wouldn't be surprised if Medicare/Medicaid is next up.

Just a reminder they tried this during Bush Jr's run. It did not go well.

AARP it's quite literally the biggest most powerful lobbying group in the country. This isn't going to work.

And those older people are The ones with the most money in America and they vote religiously.

Yah, they basically scoop up everybody once they hit retirement age. That's a huge pool of donors in the tens of millions.

Conflict of Interest in Nation’s Largest Special Interest Group: AARP

The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) is the largest special interest group in the United States, boasting a membership of 38 million. AARP claims to be a champion of causes for seniors such as social security, retirement savings, and affordable healthcare, but if you follow the...

I think their power is in the fact that retirees are currently the richest generation in American history, the babyboomers. So they can fund lawyers, lobbyists, political candidates, far better than other lobbyist groups like the NRA whose base isnt predisposed to being wealthy and includes poor young and middle aged people.

GOP only cares about themselves right now.

If the Dems don't start running on this or just giving a reminder, they deserve for the "socialists" to take over.

social security and medicare have to go.
Social security should be turned into RSAs and closed out for everyone who isn't in it.
Meaning take the money that is registered for account holders 55 and below. They automatically have that money turn into real cash in a RSA account for that individual. That means its tax free if money is put there, its transferrable to heirs (SS) is not, when used after retirement withdrawal is tax free as well, 15% penalty if used before retirement age. Also allow investment with finances in the account and let those investments and earnings be tax free as well.

55 - 64 get the option to stay in SS or get a RSA, they get a 20% bonus on their account if they accept it.

Then you lock enrollment and sunset the program.

Medicare / Medicaid can be transfered immediately to the states, no longer a federal program it must be closed out immediately.
Those 3 programs account for 75% of the federal budget.

Why though? You gave an alternative. But it's not enough to explain why SS and MC has to go.
