AI Analysis:
**Undisputable Facts:**

**Cases of Bias or Opinion:**

* Andrew Biggs, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, is quoted multiple times offering his opinions on the issue. While he presents some facts, his statements often contain value judgments and suggestions about what would be an acceptable solution.
* The article describes President Biden's proposal as "raising taxes on higher- income Americans" without providing additional context or information.

**Political Party Favoritism:**

* The article appears to favor the Democratic Party's approach to addressing Social Security's fiscal woes, presenting President Biden's proposal as a more concrete and viable solution.
* The article quotes multiple experts who are critical of the Republican National Committee's promise to protect Social Security without proposing alternative solutions.
