CNBC reported that Social Security's retirement trust fund may run out in 2032, and that retirement benefits may have to be cut in six years if Congress does not prevent it. The outlet said senators elected in the November midterms will be in office when that deadline arrives, so the Senate races may help determine the program's future. The latest projections, as reported, indicate the choices Congress faces over the coming years, but the report did not detail specific legislative proposals or the size of any cuts.
