U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D., has used his social media platform to highlight concerns about Social Security’s future and comment on national crime trends under the current administration.
On July 28, 2025, Cassidy posted: “By the time a 5th grader graduates from high school, Social Security will be insolvent. We can’t leave our kids worse off than we are. We must act now.”
The following day, July 29, he expanded on the potential impact of Social Security insolvency: “$18,000. That’s how much retired couples will lose EVERY YEAR if Social Security goes insolvent. We can’t let that happen. Let’s use a Sovereign Wealth Fund to save Social Security for generations to come!” In this post, Cassidy advocated for establishing a Sovereign Wealth Fund as a solution.
Later on July 29, Cassidy addressed immigration enforcement and public safety statistics: “Enforcing our nation’s immigration laws makes America safe again.
Thanks to President Trump, gun assaults, robberies, and carjackings have fallen over 20% in 2025 compared to last year. This is what leadership looks like.”
Concerns about the solvency of Social Security have been ongoing in U.S. policy discussions. According to recent projections by the Social Security Trustees Report, without legislative action, trust fund reserves could be depleted within the next decade or so—a scenario that would lead to reduced benefits for recipients ([source](https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/TRSUM/)). Proposals such as creating a Sovereign Wealth Fund have been discussed as possible ways to bolster long-term funding.
Regarding crime rates in 2025 and their relationship with federal immigration policies or presidential leadership claims, official nationwide data is typically compiled annually by agencies such as the FBI ([source](https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov/LATEST/webapp/#/pages/home)), but comprehensive figures for all categories referenced may not yet be available for independent verification at this time.
Senator Cassidy represents Louisiana in the United States Senate and serves on several key committees related to health care and finance.
