Scale & Intent
SSIRA was drafted in response to the projected depletion of the OASDI trust fund (76% gone by 2035–2040). It shifts revenue sources, locks the fund, and delivers long-term returns through private-sector-grade investment strategy.
Projected Reach
The system targets 30–40M eligible retirees by 2055, covering 90–95% of Americans aged 67+ with full participation and health care phased in when principal suffices.
Investment Assumptions
SSIF is projected to grow at 7–8% annually through diversified assets: equities, real estate, infrastructure, and digital assets. Modeled return: $40–110T in principal by the 2050s.
Revenue Calculations
- WAP Tax: $100–150B/year
- Visa/Remote/THC: $50–70B/year combined
- FICA Transfer: $400–900B phasing out by 2050s
- Portal & Enforcement: $10–20B informal worker capture + fines
