Salaries in the U.S. aren’t keeping up with inflation, despite pandemic-related increases in some sectors. That’s a major threat to the future for all working Americans – especially the youngest.
Social Security is your future. And that future could come sooner than you think.
Conversations about the program often pit younger workers against retirees, but Social Security is really an intergenerational compact that boosts the well-being of Americans of all ages — that’s one of the reasons the program is so cherished.
One in five Americans receives a Social Security benefit today, and about one in three of these aren’t retired. Social Security protects young workers and their families if they become disabled, and it provides benefits to the survivors of deceased workers, including their kids. Studies show that a 20-year-old worker has a one in three chance of qualifying for disability benefits before reaching retirement age.

I got an email overnight that I could reply to as a private mail, or I could hide the identity of the person who sent it and reply here, sending them the link.

In my experience (anecdotally), those who know little to nothing about economics and finance get the MMT basics of money creation pretty easily since it make sense in the absence of countervailing the assumptions. Accountants also get MMT; Richard Murphy is an expert in accountancy, for instance. As one accountant replied after I finished explaining MMT, "How else could it be?" It's just the way the accounting works.

By the brink of autumn in 1853, the Scottish essayist Thomas Carlyle was nearing the end of his tether. ‘All summer I have been more or less annoyed with noises’, he wrote to his sister that August. There were next door’s chickens — those ‘demon fowls’ squawking at all hours. There was the neighbour on the […]
