Social Security and Medicare Facing Financial Crisis
Social Security and Medicare, two major entitlement programs in the U.S., are projected to go bankrupt in the next decade. With Social Security set to run out in 10 years and Medicare in eight years, trillions of dollars in ongoing bailouts will be needed to sustain them. This poses a significant problem as the country already has a $2 trillion annual deficit, which is likely to skyrocket during a recession. With both programs being popular among Americans, a battle between their preservation and other government spending is expected.
