Nonsense… another false claim that the Social Security trust fund is losing money, is gonna go broke. I’ve been hearing that excuse since I was a kid back in the early 70s every single one keeps making that claim. The problem is not that there are more baby boomers retiring, the problem is the federal government keeps raiding the Social Security trust fund to use within the general fund, and Congress has also gave them permission back during the Reagan administration that those funds does not need to be repaid to the Social Security trust fund. This is why the Social Security trust fund doesn’t have its rightful funds because the Social Security trust fund keeps getting raided

That may also be true, but prior to 2015 Social Security was taking in more than it was paying out and had a surplus. Since then, revenue from FICA has been lower than Social Security is paying out, resulting in a deficit. Growing income inequality hasn't been helping matters either.

Look instead of trying to justify yourself because you’re in desperate need to prove yourself right because you’re an online influencer, why don’t you stop and think, this country year after year after year since Ronald Reagan has been raiding the Social Security trust fund so stop being the problem and learn to be the solution
