The Social Security Administration has announced a 3.6% cost-of-living adjustment for 2027, the largest raise retirees have seen in four years. The adjustment isn’t a windfall. It is an appropriate response to high inflation, paid out of a trust fund scheduled to be empty in six years or less, writes Robert C. Pozen.
When the reserves run out, current law is clear: Benefits will be cut to match incoming payroll taxes. The trustees estimate this will cover about 78% of scheduled payments by 2033. That is an automatic 22% reduction for every beneficiary, including those who live entirely on Social Security.
To avert the looming crisis, Congress needs to take four steps. First, address benefits. Second, increase revenues dedicated to paying Social Security benefits. Third, gradually raise the retirement age. And finally, change the formula for computing the COLA for Social Security to the chained consumer price index for all urban consumers.
While we know how to solve the Social Security crisis, lawmakers lack the political will. If Congress doesn’t act, the trust fund will run dry in late 2032.
A bipartisan coalition can enact these four reforms, which would gradually right the Social Security system over time. Or they can wait until the crisis hits and bail out the system by issuing more U.S. Treasurys, putting even more pressure on interest rates as the national debt soars by trillions.

U.S. elections keep flipping back and forth, because neither the Republicans or the Democrats are listening to voters, says Kyle Peterson.

Many Republicans in Texas and elsewhere are casting about for someone or something to blame for the outcome of the midterm elections. The answers are more obvious than their contortions would suggest, writes Jack Butler.

Democrats won an historic midterm election victory Tuesday. The question now is what lessons they will take from their triumph, and whether they’ll return to the same mistakes of the Biden era that cost them so dearly in 2024, writes the Editorial Board.
Voters are handing Democrats power because they wanted to rebuke President Trump. Voters weren’t endorsing the Democratic Party, which stands at 29% approval in the latest NBC poll, below even the 38% for the Republican Party.
Voters also weren’t embracing a Democratic policy agenda, since the party didn’t offer one. Candidates chanted “Trump” like an incantation and offered little specificity about how to reduce costs.
One Democratic priority is sure to be investigating the executive branch and the Trump family businesses. The political danger is that Democrats won’t be able to control themselves. They didn’t in Trump’s first term, and it cost them politically.
One difficulty for Democrats will be the radicals in their ranks. The House “squad” will double in size, and the socialist left will feel empowered. It could lead voters to conclude in 2028 that the post-Trump Republican Party doesn’t look so bad after all.

Republicans emerged from their victory in 2024 with a rare chance to advance the cause of conservative reform and consolidate a new majority coalition. Voters rendered a crushing verdict Tuesday on their missed opportunity by sweeping them from power in the House and Senate, writes the @WSJOpinion Editorial Board.
This was more than a normal defeat for Republicans. The loss of Senate seats and governorships in states that had become GOP redoubts will have ramifications for years to come.
True to form, President Trump is already blaming everyone else, but he is the main architect of this rout.
He’ll say the Senate didn’t break the filibuster or pass his Save America Act. But neither would have saved the GOP this year. He’ll blame Karl Rove and Texas Sen. John Cornyn for the shocking defeats in the Lone Star State, but failed Senate candidate Ken Paxton was his man—and his choice helped bring down Gov. Greg Abbott too.
Trump is directly responsible for at least three Senate defeats: Mr. Paxton when he could have endorsed Mr. Cornyn instead; North Carolina, where he drove Sen. Thom Tillis from running for re-election; and Darline Graham, whom he pressed to run to replace her late brother, Lindsey Graham, despite her lack of political experience or policy knowledge.
Throw in Georgia, where his war on other Republicans divided the party and kept Gov. Brian Kemp from running for Senate. Mr. Trump has now helped Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff win twice.
More broadly, the President’s erratic and self-indulgent second-term governance has alienated much of the coalition he assembled in 2024. The Republican wreckage left by this defeat doesn’t foretell what will happen in 2028. But it does call for soul-searching.
The GOP needs a debate about what it stands for after Donald Trump, and let’s hope it starts this week.
