Original context

Show passage from source article
Social Security’s flagship trust fund, paper savings built up when tax revenues for the program exceeded costs, is now expected to run out in 2032, a year earlier than previously expected, the C.B.O. said. The exhaustion of the trust fund will force Congress to decide on a new way of financing Social Security to avoid a deep, across-the-board cut to benefits.
