The Latest Projections from the Congressional Budget Office on Social Security Finances and Distribution of Benefits and Taxes

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from AEI · North America

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) recently released its updated projections of Social Security’s long-range finances, which I will summarize here. In certain respects, CBO’s view is a bit more pessimistic than the Trustees’, but the gap between the two projections is smaller than in past years, owing to the Trustees’ lowered fertility rate assumption this year. The post The Latest Projections from the Congressional Budget Office on Social Security Finances and Distribution of Benefits and Taxes appeared first on American Enterprise Institute - AEI.
