Another alarmist media prediction that didn't happen

Back in 2013, the right-wing Florida Times-Union of Jacksonville ran an editorial charging that the Social Security disability program was being abused fluently. They demanded changes, dammit! They said that unless the government cracked down hard on disabled Americans, the program's reserves would run out by 2016.

Well, how did that prediction turn out?

Bullies make threats, and this is a good example.

The media gaslights the public by constantly claiming Social Security is the "third rail" of politics, which nobody wants to touch - yet it's always the first thing they touch.
