As America's former 2 largest generations retire, AI, drones and robotics are replacing younger workers at an astounding rate.


Along with the astronomical cost of Covid upon the Social Security funded Medicare system, this is creating an overflow of problems for Social Security which is reportedly scheduled to run out of trust fund reserves in 2034.


A similar situation occurred in 1983 when President Reagan and a Democrat Congress overhauled the Social Security system.


Actually, the cap on the maximum amount of earnings taxed by FICA was raised almost every year since the 1950s.


FICA funded both Social Security and Medicare until 1991.



Maybe new automation should be FICA taxed also and Basic Income like the Covid stimuluses (or else Gauranteed Jobs) - which jumped the US economy to its highest level ever - should be FICA taxed and re - implemented.
