The Dwindling Pot Of Money That Could Plunge Seniors Into Poverty : The NPR
Politics Podcast Social Security provides retirement money to U.S. workers who
have paid into the system via taxes. The program could be forced to cut payments
within the next decade if Congress doesn't act to shore up its funding.

One bipartisan plan, still in its early days, comes from Sen. Bill Cassidy, a
Louisiana Republican, and Sen. Angus King, a Maine independent who caucuses with
Democrats: an independent endowment seeded by a $5 trillion investment from the
federal government.

This episode: White House correspondent Tamara Keith, political correspondent
Susan Davis, and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro.

The podcast is produced by Elena Moore and Casey Morell. Our editor is Eric
McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
