Giving Tuesday: Bridge to Brighter and Is Social Security a Ponzi Scheme?

Today on Spanning the State Kristin Brey and Brian Noonan talk social security. Elon Musk joined Joe Rogan on his podcast last week and shared his opinion on social security stating that it is a Ponzi scheme. Kristin and Brian explain what an actual Ponzi scheme is and how Social Security is actually one of the best functioning financial systems in the country. They also discuss the threat of losing their social security, why it's capped and what will happen with reorganizing and slashing staff. Then Nick Sgarlata Executive Director of Bridge to Brighter, an organization that supports youth in foster care as well as aging out of foster car in Milwaukee County joins Kristin and Brian to talk about all work behind this organization. Sgarlata explains how hard it is for foster kids to age out, what services they provide for those beginning their lives as adults, and an upcoming benefit concert later this month to help fundraise.
