CBO: Social Security Trust Fund Gone In 2029





The Congressional Budget Office now projects that Social Security's $2.8 trillion trust fund will run dry in 2029 — less than a decade before the end of the next president's first term. At that point, an automatic benefit cut of 28% would take effect.

The U.S. Government Will Spend $31,406 Per Household in 2010

Taxpayers filing their 1040s are likely wondering just where all their hard-earned tax dollars are going, anyway.

Washington will spend $31,406 per household in 2010 — the highest level in American history (adjusted for inflation).

It will collect $18,276 per household in taxes.

The remaining $13,130 represents this year's staggering budget deficit per household, which, along with all prior government debt, will be dumped in the laps of our children.

Government spending has increased by $5,000 per household since 2008, and nearly $10,000 per household over the past decade.

Yet there is no free lunch: If spending is not reined in, then eventually taxes must also rise by $10,000 per household.
