Forbes: Entitlement Spending Is In The News Again—What Is It, Exactly?
Discussions around entitlement programs, particularly Social Security and Medicare, are intensifying as Congress approaches budget negotiations. Entitlement spending is guaranteed by law and is separate from discretionary spending, which allows for more flexibility in budget cuts. Social Security and Medicare are funded through payroll taxes, but both programs face financial shortfalls as costs outpace income.
A bipartisan bill, H.R. 82, recently passed in the House, aiming to repeal provisions that reduce Social Security benefits for individuals receiving other pensions. The Congressional Budget Office estimates this will add $196 billion to deficits over the next decade. The bill now heads to the Senate for consideration.
