In 2033, your parents' Social Security gets cut 21% by law.
This isn't a prediction.
It's already written into the statute.
Three Separate Crises
The Convergence: 2025–2035
Three crises converging within the next decade
Data: CBO 2025-2035; SSA 2024
All converging 2028-2033.
The Numbers
The government is transforming from a nation that invests in its future into a debt-servicing operation.
Why We Can't Just "Grow Out of It"
• Young population
• Defense cut from 37% to 5%
• Strong growth potential
• Aging population (fertility 1.64)
• Defense already at 3% (can't cut)
• Slower growth projected
We don't have the tools that worked in 1946.
The debt is structural, not temporary.
The Cost of Delay
That 4% swing equals:
Eliminating Medicare + Medicaid
AND raising all income taxes 30%
Why Nobody's Talking About It
Every actor has rational reasons for silence
But wait...
The people who KNOW are actually saying it out loud:

We're on an unsustainable fiscal path. The time to address these issues is now, not later.
The federal government faces unsustainable long-term fiscal pressures.
Social Security's costs will exceed its income in 2033, and the trust fund will be depleted.
The current fiscal path is unsustainable and will eventually lead to a crisis.
America's fiscal trajectory poses significant risks to economic growth and stability.
Without policy changes, federal debt will reach unprecedented levels in coming decades.
They're all saying the same thing.
The problem is that nobody's listening.

Your ZIP code determines your reality.
This is mathematically solvable.
We know how to fix it.
We won't.
