Summary
Episode 122 features two guests. American Legion Media Director Jeff Stoffer joins for a farewell conversation on America’s 250th anniversary, the founding values of the Declaration of Independence and the introduction of his successor Henry Howard, who takes over the monthly AWF segment next month. Then Alliance for Retired Americans Executive Director Rich Fiesta breaks down the Social Security trust fund’s projected 2032 shortfall — a 22% benefit cut affecting close to 80 million Americans if Congress acts on nothing — and explains the legislative solutions that exist right now but require a worker-friendly Congress to pass.
