Citadel founder Ken Griffin is sounding the alarm on President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff policies, warning they have &#8220;unleashed an era of crony capitalism&#8221; where the government picks &#8220;winners and losers&#8221; in the economy.
What Happened: &#8220;Tariffs open the doors to crony capitalism,&#8221; Griffin <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/08/griffin-trump-tariffs-milken-wall-street-00335374">told</a> Politico at the Milken Institute&#8217;s Global Conference. &#8220;I thought that would play out over the course of years. It&#8217;s terrifying to watch this play out over the course of weeks.&#8221;
The hedge fund billionaire&#8217;s criticism reflects growing concerns among Wall Street executives that the escalating trade war could derail economic growth despite the administration&#8217;s promises of prosperity. His comments come as the U.S. grapples with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45317301/5-treasury-yields-could-force-trump-to-slash-tariffs-in-q2-says-bofas-hartnett">record $140 billion trade deficit in March</a>.
Griffin, a longtime GOP megadonor, expressed particular concern about the administration&#8217;s selective exemptions for certain industries. The dollar&#8217;s recent decline, he noted, will soon weaken American consumer purchasing power.
&#8220;Whether it&#8217;s a flat-screen TV or a new laptop, your dollar is just not going to go as far,&#8221; Griffin said. &#8220;This starts unfolding in the next couple weeks.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Bank of America&#8216;s chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett predicts tariffs may be reduced this quarter, warning that Treasury yields above 5% could jeopardize the deficit-financed growth strategy. JPMorgan Chase recently raised its recession odds to 60% from 40%, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45317301/5-treasury-yields-could-force-trump-to-slash-tariffs-in-q2-says-bofas-hartnett">citing supply-chain disruptions</a>.
The impact is already being felt across sectors. Ford Motor Co. CEO Jim Farley announced tariffs could cost the automaker $1.5 billion, forcing the company to withdraw its earnings guidance. Major ports report Chinese shipments have &#8220;essentially ceased,&#8221; with retailers facing five to seven weeks of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45217767/ford-ceo-jim-farley-says-trumps-tariffs-could-cost-ford-1-5-billion-pulls-its-earnings-guidance">inventory before shortages emerge</a>.
Despite these concerns, some Trump allies remain optimistic. Former presidential adviser Gary Cohn told Milken Conference attendees, &#8220;We&#8217;ve lived through depressions. We&#8217;ve lived through recessions&#8230; Every time, when we thought it was really bad, it got a lot better.&#8221;
For Griffin, who has previously criticized Trump, the risk is clear: &#8220;We all want to see the president succeed&#8230; There&#8217;s that fine line between constructive criticism and just being toxic.&#8221;

GOP Megadonor Ken Griffin Warns Trump Tariffs Are 'Terrifying,' Says Government Is Picking 'Winners And Losers' Amid Soaring Trade Deficit

Cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe identified a potentially significant market signal Friday, noting that altcoins could be poised for a dramatic recovery against Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: &#8220;The bull market is the biggest reward of 4 years suffering. Within a window of a few months, your Altcoins can erase all the losses,&#8221; van de Poppe wrote on X. &#8220;The Altcoin market capitalization against Bitcoin is still massively bullish. The longest bullish divergence in history.&#8221;
The analyst&#8217;s comments come as Bitcoin trades near $103,023, with a market capitalization of approximately $2.04 trillion. 
Meanwhile, the CMC Altcoin Season Index currently sits at 39/100, firmly in &#8220;Bitcoin Season&#8221; territory, which indicates Bitcoin has outperformed most alternative cryptocurrencies over the past 90 days, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Why It Matters: Van de Poppe emphasized that timing and positioning will be crucial for investors. &#8220;All I&#8217;ve learned from previous cycles is that if the markets start a rotation, it&#8217;s going to be a fast move on those Altcoins and you&#8217;ll be questioning yourself whether it&#8217;s a real or a fake move.

The CMC Altcoin Season Index, which tracks the performance of the top 100 altcoins relative to Bitcoin, currently shows divergent performance across the altcoin market. 
While some tokens like Four (FORM) have posted gains exceeding 480% over 90 days, many large-cap altcoins, including Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), have underperformed Bitcoin during this period.

Ethereum, Dogecoin And Other Altcoins May Erase '4 Years Suffering' In Just Months, Says Michael Van De Poppe Amid Historic Bullish Divergence

Texas lawmakers have passed legislation that would significantly reduce small shareholders&#8217; influence over corporations, potentially offering companies like Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) a shield from legal challenges that have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44488029/tesla-teases-robotaxi-launch-in-texas-but-industry-veterans-question-safety-and-readiness-if-a-company-were-serious">plagued them in Delaware</a>.
What Happened: Two bills awaiting Governor Greg Abbott&#8216;s signature &#8211; Senate Bill 29 and Senate Bill 1057 &#8211; would make it harder for shareholders to sue companies and raise requirements for bringing resolutions at annual meetings, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/texas-bills-big-business-wins-activist-investors-shareholders-2025-5">reported</a> Business Insider on Friday. Abbott has previously signaled support for SB 29.
&#8220;How can you have confidence in Delaware judges?&#8221; said Eric Lentell, Archer Aviation&#8216;s top lawyer, who testified in favor of SB 29, referencing a Delaware court&#8217;s decision to strike down CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s pay package at Tesla. &#8220;A shareholder vote was essentially ignored.&#8221;
Sen. Bryan Hughes (R-Texas), who backed SB 1057, described the legislation as &#8220;Dexit,&#8221; highlighting the growing exodus of companies from Delaware.

Why It Matters: Tesla reincorporated in Texas following its Delaware court battle, while the New York Stock Exchange recently announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43768417/market-analysts-say-nyses-texas-expansion-a-direct-challenge-to-wall-streets-dominance">plans to establish NYSE Texas in Dallas</a>.
Chris Babcock, who helped draft SB 29, defended the legislation as balanced, saying it was shaped by &#8220;a wide array of businesses and experts,&#8221; according to the BI report. The bills have received support from AT&amp;T, Nasdaq, and the Texas Stock Exchange.
SB 29 would apply to major Texas-incorporated companies like Tesla and Southwest Airlines, while SB 1057 could affect businesses merely headquartered in the state, according to the BI report. Hughes said the legislation was partly inspired by hedge fund Engine No. 1&#8216;s successful campaign to reshape ExxonMobil&#8216;s board in 2021.

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 5 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

At just 21 years old, Ethan Thornton is rewriting the rules of modern warfare. He's the founder and CEO of Mach Industries, a fast-rising defense tech <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45184304/palo-alto-networks-acquires-protect-ai-for-500m-a-startup-backed-by-salesforce-samsung-and-01-advisors-in-ai-security-push">startup</a> that's just secured $100 million in new funding, co-led by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45027859/khosla-ventures-leads-16-2m-series-a-in-loti-ai-backed-by-wme-caa-to-shield-celebrities-from-deepfake-threats">Khosla Ventures</a> and Bedrock Capital, with continued support from Sequoia Capital. This brings Mach's total raised capital to around $185 million, and the company's valuation now hovers around $470 million, according to<a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/01/rising-star-defense-tech-startup-mach-industries-is-raising-100-million-sources-say/"> TechCrunch</a>.
Thornton left MIT to focus on Mach full-time, TechCrunch reported, but the company&#8217;s origins trace back to his high school years, where he operated a wood and metal workshop to bootstrap initial prototypes.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mach Industries Created A New Class Of Military Manufacturing</h2>
The Huntington Beach, California-based startup is aiming to revolutionize both defense hardware and the way it's made. According to TechCrunch, rather than relying on traditional centralized weapons factories, Mach is building &#8220;Forge 1,&#8221; a 115,000-square-foot facility in Southern California designed to manufacture its most advanced products.
Forge 1 represents the first step in Mach&#8217;s broader vision to establish a network of decentralized micro-factories across the U.S. and internationally, each designed to manage the full production process from raw materials to final assembly, TechCrunch reports.
Trending: Donald Trump just announced a $500 billion AI infrastructure deal — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/seize-a-share-while-you-still-can-in-the-2-trillion-entertainment-market-with-elf-labs-at-just-2-25-share">here's how you can invest in the entertainment market's next big disruptor at $2.25 per share</a>.
This distributed approach is part of Thornton's vision to build a resilient national defense infrastructure, capable of withstanding geopolitical shocks and supply chain disruptions. "Instead of very centralized factories, we will build many, many smaller factories to actually have a survival defense industrial base," he told TechCrunch. The factories will be designed to take raw materials through final assembly.
According to a company<a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/mach-industries-global-manufacturing-network-forge-partners-with-hevendrones-302403813.html"> statement</a> on March 18, Mach entered into a partnership with Heven Drones, which will use Forge 1 to assemble and scale unmanned aerial systems.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Viper, Glide, And The Edge Of Space</h2>
Mach's product lineup includes Viper, a jet-powered vertical takeoff and landing unmanned aerial vehicle that doesn&#8217;t require a runway and is up to 300 times cheaper to build than traditional drones. It also builds Glide, a weapon launched from near-space altitudes to increase strike range and reduce the chance of interception. The company claims it could potentially hit any target on Earth without being detected, TechCrunch reports.
Recently, Mach revealed it had been selected by the U.S. Army Applications Laboratory to develop Strategic Strike, a next-generation cruise missile with vertical takeoff capabilities. Initial flight tests have already passed, marking a major milestone in the company's path to building deployable battlefield systems, according to TechCrunch.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Teen Dream To Government Contract</h2>
Mach became a breakout name in defense circles after being Sequoia Capital's first-ever investment in the defense tech sector. The startup's $5.7 million seed round was led by Sequoia's Stephanie Zhan and Shaun Maguire in mid-2023,<a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/sequoia-makes-first-defense-tech-investment-mach-industries-2023-06-15/"> Reuters</a> reports. According to<a href="https://techstartups.com/2023/10/05/defense-tech-startup-mach-industries-raises-79m-in-series-a-funding-at-335-million-valuation/"> Tech Startups</a>, that funding was followed in October 2023 by a $79 million Series A led by Bedrock Capital.
The most recent round adds Khosla Ventures to the cap table, with investor Keith Rabois leading the deal, TechCrunch reports. Even former Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) recruiter Peterson Conway, known for working with only the most promising startups, now counts Mach among his rare list of clients, TechCrunch writes.
With dozens of employees, a U.S. Army contract, and three groundbreaking products already underway, Mach Industries may be shaping up to become the blueprint for the future of American defense.

MIT Dropout Ethan Thornton Secures $100M For Mach Industries, Backed By Sequoia And Khosla, To Revolutionize U.S. Defense Tech

Most financial transformations take more than a decade, especially if you are starting with debt. While a big pile of debt can feel intimidating, it can also give you the motivation to change your financial situation.
That's exactly what happened with a couple who has <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/DaveRamsey/comments/1kab4ta/paid_off_the_house_today_debt_free_38_yo_388k/">paid off $388,000 in debt over 13 years</a>. The couple was sick of high-interest payments on their student loans and came across Dave Ramsey's audiobooks.&nbsp;

</ul>
The Redditor detailed how he and his wife paid off the debt after listening to Ramsey's advice.
"We held off on a lot of big purchases," the Redditor explained while sharing other strategies that worked. The tactics the 38-year-old father used can help you get out of debt and build wealth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Yard Sales For The Kids</h2>
Kids are one of the biggest expenses you have, right next to your house. While many parents view raising a family as a worthwhile endeavor, there are some ways you can save money.&nbsp;
The father explained that they went to yard sales to buy clothing, books, and toys for the kids. The family even created a side hustle around buying and reselling yard sale finds, which helped a lot.
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
You may have to pick up a side hustle to make ends meet. The family found a fun one that could involve everyone. Some people turn side hustles into their professions after earning enough money. However, others work side hustles for short bursts. You don't have to do a side hustle forever if you don't want to, but it can move you closer to your financial goals.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pay Off The Credit Card Every Month</h2>
Credit card debt derails many people on the path to wealth, so the couple was adamant about paying it off at the end of each month. That way, you get all of the benefits of a credit card without having to deal with high interest rates.
Not having credit card debt also makes it easier to cover other financial obligations. For instance, the couple recently paid off their entire house and don't have to worry about mortgage payments anymore. Now, they will have far more money to invest.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Keep A Monthly Journal Of Your Finances&nbsp;</h2>
The Redditor edited his post after receiving a bunch of comments to include an important detail. He recommended keeping a monthly journal of your finances and jotting down some notes.
This journal serves two benefits. The first advantage of a financial journal is that you can track your progress regularly. You can record entries at the end of each month or opt for a daily journal.&nbsp;
The second perk is that a financial journal allows you to document your progress. The couple revisits journal entries from previous years to see where they were and compare them to where they are now. It's easy to look at how far away you are from a goal, but journaling allows you to recognize how much you have accomplished. Then, it's easier to move toward the target.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Broadcom Stock In The Last 15 Years

Most people — even those who love their jobs — probably wouldn't mind <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44481583/bill-gates-thinks-you-might-only-work-2-3-days-a-week-thanks-to-ai-but-also-says-legitimately-people-are-like-wow-this-is-a-bit-scary">shaving a few days off the workweek</a>. Turns out, neither would Bill Gates. Yes, that Bill Gates. The man who famously worked 16-hour days in his 20s, refused vacations, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43163664/bill-gates-memorized-license-plates-of-everybody-at-microsoft-then-checked-the-parking-lot-to-see-who-was-working-i-was-quite-fanatical">and practically lived at Microsoft</a>.
Now? He's saying less work might actually be better.
"It's probably OK," Gates said in November 2023 on <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGLDEODaMX-uh8ZqttiSoV1d30dm9C5Y_&amp;si=cFaTB8hYzE0q3hH0">Trevor Noah's "What Now?" podcast</a>. "If you eventually get a society where you only have to work three days a week or something, that's probably OK if the machines can make all the food and the stuff and we don't have to work as hard."

</ul>
The billionaire, who built his career on relentless work ethic and obsession with productivity, now envisions a future where artificial intelligence and automation take over essential tasks — leaving humans with more free time.
"If you zoom out, the purpose of life is not just to do jobs," Gates told Noah.
Of course, he's not calling for a mass resignation just yet. Gates pointed out that even with a shorter workweek, there will still be plenty of meaningful work to go around. "The demand for labor to do good things is still there if you match the skills to it," he said. "And then if you ever get beyond that, then, OK, you have a lot of leisure time and will have to figure out what to do with it."
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
He also acknowledged that the shift won't happen overnight — or pain-free. Technological change can mean job loss. But, Gates noted, "If they come slow enough, they're generational." Historically, societies have adapted. For example, farming jobs declined gradually over many decades.
"It's all good," Gates added. "It's the aging society, it's OK because the software makes things more productive."
This isn't the first time Gates has painted a picture of a lighter workload thanks to technology. He's long predicted that AI will revolutionize productivity, healthcare, and even personal assistants that can help people manage daily life. But he's also warned that governments need to create "rules of the road" to ensure AI's benefits outweigh the risks.
This isn't just speculation. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed that up to <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/29/microsoft-ceo-says-up-to-30-of-the-companys-code-was-written-by-ai/">30% of the company's code</a> is now written by AI — and that number is climbing. And it's not just Big Tech: autonomous trucking companies like Aurora are already running driverless freight routes between Dallas and Houston, clocking over 1,200 miles without a human at the wheel.

While these innovations promise more efficiency, they also raise tough questions about jobs. A <a href="https://home.barclays/news/press-releases/2025/05/barclays-research-expects-ai-to-recast-global-supply-chains-and-/">Barclays study</a> found that AI isn't causing mass unemployment yet, but it is holding down pay growth in some industries. Gates acknowledged these risks, saying technological change needs to come at a reasonable pace and be backed by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/07/39619831/elon-musk-predicts-jobs-will-become-obsolete-but-he-foresees-a-high-universal-income-that-acts-as-an">government support so workers can adjust</a>.
Some countries are already testing what a lighter workload might look like. Iceland's shorter <a href="https://www.waldenu.edu/programs/business/resource/shortened-work-weeks-what-studies-show">workweek trials led to better well-being</a> and no drop in productivity. Belgium has also rolled out labor reforms letting workers compress their hours into a four-day week.
For now, the man who once couldn't imagine taking a day off seems surprisingly open to a future where most of us might only work three days a week. And, honestly? Most people probably wouldn't argue with that.

$100 Invested In Guidewire Software 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

At 61, many people are daydreaming about what their retirement will look like — morning coffee in the garden, long vacations, or maybe learning how to pickle things just because they can.
Ruth and her husband? They're just hoping retirement is even an option.
"We're wondering if it's too late for us," Ruth told <a href="https://youtu.be/Cnf_QBYvVOc?si=76fDVZPMDJBUpk2q">Dave Ramsey on an episode of The Ramsey Show</a>. She's 61, her husband's 60. And despite earning $130,000 a year, they've only managed to save $75,000 in their 401(k).

</ul>
That's not the only number working against them. They owe $137,000 on their house, another $10,000 on a car loan, and a couple thousand more on credit cards and bills.
Ramsey didn't waste time cutting to the chase. "He makes way too much money for you all to be this broke," he said. Ruth's husband has already accepted his backup plan: work until he drops. Not exactly the dream.
And Ramsey had a pretty bleak — and honestly gross — take on where they were headed. "If you keep spending like you've been spending and stay disorganized like you have been, you're going to retire on dog food," he warned.
That wasn't just a figure of speech. Without major changes, Ruth and her husband could be trading retirement for working forever — or living on whatever's cheapest at the grocery store.
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
But it's not hopeless. Ramsey laid out a brutal but doable plan: stop spending, kill the car and credit card debt, build a $15,000 emergency fund, invest 15% of their income, and throw everything else at the mortgage.
"You guys are going to have to get very, very serious today," Ramsey said.
No more vacations. No more eating out — "unless you're working there," Ramsey joked.
It's worth mentioning this call took place back in 2014, when retirement savings benchmarks were much lower. At that time, <a href="https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/060_www_fidelity_com/documents/18608-02-ExecSum.pdf">Fidelity reported</a> the average 401(k) balance was $91,300. So despite Ramsey's critical take, Ruth and her husband weren't quite the financial disaster he made them out to be. By 2014 standards — and considering wage levels back then — they were actually pretty much on par.
Of course, by today's standards, they'd be trailing badly. <a href="https://newsroom.fidelity.com/pressreleases/fidelity--q4-2024-retirement-analysis--retirement-savers-achieve-positive-momentum-through-2024/s/bbd405d1-c640-4be9-9c7b-67a8fd38e2bb">Fidelity's 2025 report</a> shows the average balance for 60-64 year olds is $246,500.&nbsp;
If they stuck to the plan, Ramsey believed they could retire in seven to nine years with about $500,000 saved and no house payment.
That's a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">future worth fighting for</a>. Because the alternative? Dog food.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Domino's Pizza 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Social Security is once again a political powder keg — and this time, it's not just politicians stirring the pot.
As fears grow over the program's projected insolvency by 2035, New York University professor and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/05/45128295/scott-galloway-says-young-men-think-they-can-beat-the-market-urges-30-stock-picks-70-index-funds-and-gamified-budgeting-instead">tech entrepreneur Scott Galloway</a>, known for his sharp and sometimes eyebrow-raising takes, says it's time for a hard reset. And his solution? Cut benefits for seniors who don't actually need the money.
"I believe somewhere between 10% and 30% of people who get Social Security right now should not receive it because they don't need it," Galloway said on a <a href="https://youtu.be/lL91n7QSbjY?si=2uKMz1YPf4wbKopM">November 2023 episode</a> of the "Prof G Show" podcast. "I'll go as high as a third of senior citizens should not be getting Social Security."

</ul>
His argument? Older Americans, as a group, are wealthier than ever. "The wealthiest generation in the history of this planet," as he puts it. Meanwhile, young people face record debt, high housing costs, and wages that haven't kept up.
"The fact that every year we affect a $1.2 trillion transfer from young people, who are not doing as well as they have in past generations, to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41987495/the-greatest-wealth-transfer-in-history-is-here-but-72-of-americans-say-theyre-not-ready-for-it">wealthiest generation in history</a> means something is wrong," Galloway said.&nbsp;
It's a controversial stance in a country where most seniors rely on those monthly checks. But Galloway's not calling for across-the-board cuts. "I believe that nobody over the age of 65 — or maybe even under 65 — should be living in poverty. I'm absolutely not against cutting Social Security benefits for anyone who needs it."
Instead, he says the system should be means-tested, cutting off wealthier retirees who could live comfortably without Social Security.
Trending: Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Now? The Math Doesn't Lie</h2>
Social Security's finances are a mess. Without reform, benefits could be automatically slashed by 17% in just a decade. Part of the problem? When the program started, the average American didn't live long enough to collect decades of benefits. Now, people are living longer, working longer, and the ratio of workers paying into the system to retirees drawing from it has shrunk.
According to the <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/history/ratios.html#:~:text=Covered%20Workers%20is%20defined%20as,status%20as%20of%20June%2030.">Social Security Administration</a>, there were 16.5 workers for every beneficiary in 1950. By 1960, that number had already dropped to 5.1. In 2023, it was just 2.7 workers per beneficiary. The <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/news/press/factsheets/basicfact-alt.pdf">SSA projects</a> that this ratio will continue to decline.&nbsp;
Even Galloway, a self-described capitalist, dismisses the idea that Social Security is just people getting back what they paid in. "The majority of people take out way more than they actually put in," he said.
He also pointed to the payroll tax cap, which limits how much high earners contribute to Social Security. In 2025, <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/faqs/en/questions/KA-02387.html">income above $176,100</a> isn't taxed for Social Security, meaning that individuals earning millions contribute the same dollar amount as someone making $176,100. Galloway argued this kind of imbalance adds to the system's inequities and puts more strain on younger, lower-earning workers.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bigger Debate: Fairness vs. Reality</h2>
Galloway's critics say he's missing the point: Social Security is the most successful anti-poverty program in U.S. history, <a href="https://www.cbpp.org/research/social-security/social-security-lifts-more-people-above-the-poverty-line-than-any-other">cutting senior poverty</a> from around 38% to under 10%.
But Galloway counters that ignoring the math won't help anyone. As he put it, older voters have "figured out how to vote themselves more and more money. It needs to stop." And unless someone tackles the ballooning costs, younger generations will keep footing the bill.
"I think the instinct around reforming Social Security is a good one," he said. "It's something I would like to see someone take it on."
For now, that conversation remains politically toxic. But as the trust fund's expiration date creeps closer, Galloway's blunt proposal may not seem quite so radical in a few years.
