Summary
A guest essay by Senators Bernie Moreno and Elizabeth Warren proposes a bipartisan plan to save Social Security by lifting the payroll tax cap (currently $184,500 for 2026). The authors argue that Social Security faces insolvency within six years and that eliminating the cap would protect benefits, reward work, and restore fairness without cutting benefits for retirees.
