The Old Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund is in danger of running out of funds in the next 5 years.
Reasons for Concern:

- Economic Uncertainty: Fluctuations in the economy affecting Social Security reserves.
- Political Inaction: Delays in addressing reforms to ensure long-term sustainability.
- Financial Strain: Growing deficits impacting the solvency of the OASI Trust Fund.
It is essential to evaluate and address these challenges to secure the future of Social Security for taxpayers.
