Loper expressed hope that raising public awareness about Social Security's funding shortfall would also influence candidates running for office.

“Let's hopefully solve this in 2027 or 2028 [under President Donald Trump], or 2029 with a new president, as opposed to waiting until the last minute in 2032 when the options become less and less appealing,”

Loper urged addressing Social Security's solvency issues well before the projected 2032 trust fund depletion date.
