@christomlinson668: The most vexing problem facing James Talrico and Ken Paxton when one of them goes to the Senate next year will not be the Iran war. Neither will it be the stuttering economy or even artificial intelligence. The biggest challenge will be stopping Social Security from going broke in 2032. Social Security provided 1.6 trillion dollars to support 70 million seniors, dependents, and disabled workers last year. Most working people pay into Social Security throughout their lives with the promise they will get that money back after the age of 65. But Congress has mismanaged the program for decades.#txlege #texaspolitics #txnews #politics #democracy
