From Government Promises to Personal Wealth
The Insolvency Crisis
Social Security faces a $478 billion annual deficit by 2034, when trust fund reserves are depleted. Only 81% of benefits will be payable thereafter, with structural shortfalls continuing indefinitely.

Lifetime Savings Accounts
Replace government promises with personal accounts citizens own and control. AIPE returns supplement traditional Social Security, creating a hybrid system where citizens build real wealth rather than depend on government transfers.
"Building new industries makes America strong again. Building a government that performs makes America unstoppable."
Integrated Framework
How It Connects
Social Security reform integrates with AIPE through Citizen Prosperity Accounts, creating a unified wealth-building system that gives Americans ownership stakes in the economy rather than dependence on government transfers.
