I think we should do what Canada does and invest Social Security in the stock market. While we would initially have to raise taxes in the short term because of how little Social Security has left, we could lower them in the long term. It would still be owned by the government but it would be managed by financial experts. It’s the benefits of privatization without privatization.

Trump may be the only person actually capable of fixing social security. His supporters will support him no matter what, so he can kind of just do whatever he wants without caring about popularity. Normally this results in some stupid crap, but this could actually be extremely beneficial for the country. Pretty much any other politician wouldn’t do this as they know their career would be over.
