民主党副总统候选人卡玛拉·哈里斯承诺在两个紧迫挑战面前保障社会保障。 Kamala Harris, the Democratic Vice Presidential candidate, has pledged to safeguard Social Security amid two pressing challenges. 首先,该方案的信托基金预计到2035年将耗尽,这需要潜在的解决办法,如提高富人税收或改变退休年龄。 First, the program's trust funds are projected to be depleted by 2035, necessitating potential solutions like raising taxes on the wealthy or altering retirement age. 第二,目前对老年人的生活费调整数(生活费调整数)不足,因为他们依赖消费物价指数-W。 Harris可能主张消费物价指数-E更好地反映老年人的开支并保持他们的购买力。 Second, current cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) are inadequate for seniors, as they rely on the CPI-W. Harris may advocate for the CPI-E to better reflect seniors' expenses and preserve their purchasing power.
