"Ongoing demographic changes are primarily to blame for Social Security's financial struggles".
No, the primary reason that Social Security is facing "financial struggles" is the fact that there is a cap on which the wealthy pay into it. A doctor making $300,000 a year pays the same amount as a techbro making $5,000,000 a year. And they both pay the same as someone making $176,000 a year.
