If no changes are made, the program, a cornerstone of the American safety net, will face insolvency by 2035.&nbsp;
Without intervention, benefits could be slashed by 17% in just over a decade, pushing millions of seniors into poverty. The problem stems from a widening deficit, a declining worker-to-retiree ratio and the growing strain of an aging population. While many agree that Social Security needs reform, how to fix it remains a battleground.

He's made it clear that the current system disproportionately benefits the wealthy.&nbsp;
In a Facebook post from September, Sanders wrote, "It is absurd that a billionaire in America today pays the same amount of Social Security taxes as someone making $168,000 a year. It is time to scrap the cap, expand benefits and fully fund Social Security."
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/v/15PB3kU6dq/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v">https://www.facebook.com/share/v/15PB3kU6dq/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v</a>

This isn't a new stance for Sanders. He's been banging the drum on wealth inequality for years, often highlighting that billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos hold more wealth than the bottom half the U.S. population. Sanders has proposed "scrapping the cap," meaning that the cap on income subject to Social Security taxes – currently $168,600 – would be lifted.&nbsp;
His plan suggests taxing income over $250,000 at the same 6.2% rate as everyone else, ensuring that millionaires and billionaires contribute a fairer share to the system.&nbsp;
According to Sanders, this move would make Social Security solvent for 75 years and allow for expanded benefits, increasing payouts for recipients by roughly $2,400 per year.
Sanders has also spoken passionately about the struggles many seniors face. On his website, he emphasizes, "You cannot live in dignity when trying to survive on $13,000 or $14,000 a year in Social Security benefits." His proposals strike at the heart of this issue, tying tax reform to broader economic justice. For Sanders, Social Security isn't just about retirement security – it's about ensuring people can live with dignity in a system he argues is skewed toward the wealthy.

In another post, he questioned why the immense wealth of Musk, Bezos and Larry Ellison rarely makes headlines, claiming, "Part of the answer is that the people who own the media are doing phenomenally well. They aren't interested in highlighting massive levels of inequality."
While his ideas, like "scrap the cap," have drawn significant support from progressives, they've also faced resistance from conservatives and moderates who argue against raising taxes on high earners. Regardless of where you fall on the issue, the urgency is undeniable. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40374894/financial-guru-dave-ramsey-advises-take-social-security-at-62-but-this-essential-step-is-non-neg">Social Security is a lifeline</a> for millions and reform is needed to ensure it remains sustainable.

Bernie Sanders Demands 'Scrap The Cap' On Social Security Taxes – It's 'Absurd' A Billionaire Pays Same Amount As Middle-Class Earners

Neuralink, Elon Musk&#8217;s brain-implant company, is hiring big. They're looking for manufacturing technicians and microfabrication specialists to help "boost production." Job listings popped up on Neuralink's website recently and hiring events have also been held at their California and Texas facilities this month.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?</li>

</ul>
This push signals that Neuralink is gearing up for large-scale production, which is earlier than is typical for most medical device companies. Tinglong Dai, a professor at Johns Hopkins, told Business Insider, "That's wild for a company that's only implanted two devices in their trial." But it's not entirely shocking, given Musk's style. Dai pointed to Musk's history with Tesla's "production hell." He said the experience might be driving Neuralink's rapid manufacturing ramp-up.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41591053/elon-musk-says-neuralink-brain-implants-could-cost-as-little-as-an-apple-watch-we-do-have-a-game-pla">According to Musk</a>, the company's implants are designed to be a &#8220;Fitbit in your skull.&#8221; Initially, the tech aims to help people with neurological disorders. Long term, Musk says it could allow users to send messages or play video games just by thinking about them.

Jobs and Pay
Neuralink is offering $22 an hour for manufacturing technicians in Texas. Those roles focus on producing brain implants and accessories and might require working weekends or long hours. In California, wages are higher – between $28.85 and $44.23 an hour – for technicians building the R1 Surgical Robot, which automates the implantation process.
This hiring push is part of a broader effort. Neuralink has over 30 job openings on its careers page, with more than 600 people already working there. Many of these employees previously worked at Tesla or SpaceX.
Neuralink's ambitions don't stop at hiring. The company is expanding its physical footprint. They filed plans for a <a href="https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Project/TABS2024022676">$14.7 million, 112,000-square-foot facility</a> near Austin, Texas. Construction details hint at a big move toward ramping up production capacity.

Neuralink isn't without challenges. Reuters reported earlier this year that the FDA approved human trials for the implants after rejecting an earlier bid in 2023 due to safety concerns. Issues included overheating and problems with wires connected to the brain chip. So far, two patients have received implants. One of them experienced complications with loose wires. However, the company was approved to begin clinical trials in Canada this week. The company posted on X that it is <a href="https://twitter.com/neuralink/status/1859321866944401727">looking for clinical volunteers</a> with quadriplegia due to ALS or SCI.
John Donoghue, a neuroscientist on BrainGate, told Business Insider that Neuralink's production efforts are unusual. "Typically, at this stage, you'd be handcrafting the device. You wouldn't be expecting to scale production until you'd fully finalized it."
Still, Musk is pushing forward, blending his signature fast-paced approach with groundbreaking technology. Whether Neuralink can meet Musk&#8217;s lofty goals remains to be seen, but the $14.7 million Texas facility and hiring spree suggest he's all in.

Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs – up to 20% on all imports and 60% on Chinese goods – have spurred urgency among contractors. &#8220;I suspect among many contractors, there is a rush to buy critical materials and equipment before tariffs might have any impact on prices,&#8221; Anirban Basu, chief economist of the Associated Builders and Contractors, said to the Boston Business Journal, noting the surge in demand could ironically drive up near-term prices.
The stakes are especially high for materials sourced from China, which supplies about 18% of U.S. imports, including essential building materials like drywall. Unlike Trump&#8217;s first term, when targeted tariffs on steel and aluminum were offset by low interest rates, today&#8217;s higher financing costs leave less room for absorbing price increases.
Labor availability presents another critical concern. The Boston Business Journal noted, citing data from the National Immigration Forum, that immigrants comprise roughly 30% of the U.S. construction workforce, reaching 40% in states like California and Texas.&nbsp;

In October, while the sector added 8,000 jobs and showed 2.8% annual growth, construction unemployment rose to 4.2%.
&#8220;If all of a sudden it becomes more difficult to access that workforce, that would tend to be inflationary with respect to wages and project-delivery costs,&#8221; Basu said. Major industry groups, including the Associated General Contractors of America, are urging the incoming administration to expand legal pathways for construction workers.
Developers are accelerating predevelopment activities in response. Louis Molinini, Americas market lead at Jones Lang LaSalle, said there has been increased advisory and predevelopment activity since September&#8217;s Federal Reserve rate cut, though actual construction starts may lag 9-12 months.

Current market conditions already pose challenges. While construction input prices have stabilized – rising just 0.3% in October according to federal data cited in the report – overall costs remain elevated. Total construction starts fell 6% in September to an annual rate of $1.1 trillion, the Boston Business Journal noted, though year-to-date figures through September show a 2% increase over 2023.
The specialized labor market faces additional pressure from booming data center and manufacturing facility construction. &#8220;You&#8217;re going to be paying a premium for those subcontractors to be available because the money is still flowing so quickly and heavily through data centers,&#8221; Molinini said.
Some analysts suggest Trump&#8217;s actual policies may prove less aggressive than campaign rhetoric, given stock market sensitivity to trade disruptions. &#8220;While contractors are confident, in my mind, as an economist, the outlook is cloudy,&#8221; Basu said.
