    My Conversation with AI About Future Taxes: What "It" Thinks We’re Facing

    Will your taxes inevitably double over the next 10 years? We talk constantly about the threat of rising tax rates, mounting national debt, and the future of Social Security—but everyone seems to have an opinion rooted in politics or speculation. In this session, I sat down with an AI to run the cold, hard fiscal math. We looked at the Congressional Budget Office projections, mandatory spending trajectories, and what tax rates would actually have to look like if the government tries to balance the budget without spending cuts. The numbers the AI returned might change the way you plan your retirement and investment accounts forever.
