Demystifying Social Security | In Person (Ryan Ranch) (Closed)

Course Description:

Wondering what's going on with Social Security and Medicare? Welcome to the club! Join us as we take a brief look at the history of these programs and then tackle a series of questions and a few myths, including how they're financed, why they're in trouble, and what is (and is not) being proposed to address the fiscal challenges. What's all this talk about Ponzi schemes and entitlements? Did Congress really steal money from the Social Security Trust Funds? We'll close with a look at what is happening as a result of the DOGE interventions.
