Trump is going after Social Security

[Lisa558]

And when DOGE goes after it, as it has hinted, what will your excuse be?

I expect you’ll just parrot whatever made up claims the noise machine feeds you.

Didn’t the election results tell you that Americans don’t fall for these false scare tactics?

You people keep doubling down on stupid. I hope you continue doing it all the way up to the midterms.

SS could be solvent for many years if more of the nearly 8 million open job positions were filled. Do the math.

 

[Rawley]

Give it time.

I've been giving you cult the same advice. But they are out on the street chanting and singing that "MUSK IS KILLING PEOPLE" Such delusional speak leads to things like the ridiculous performance they put on at the Joint Session. Hard to take them seriously, for anything, any more.

Chicken feed compared to what is lost due to unemployment.

 

[pknopp]

They probably will, but I'm sure Musk was talking about ending waste in social security. Not doing away with it. That would be the final nail in the coffin.

Nope. He called it a Ponzi Scheme.

 

[jknowgood]

Nope. He called it a Ponzi Scheme.

It actually is, most won't get out what they paid into it. But the goverment has taken the money, so they better give it back. Not a benefit, we paid into it.

There is no end to hoaxes that you are not willing to fall for.

Thank you for proving my point, as you so often do.

Other than 76% of the country supports what they are doing. Brilliant prediction.

That’s a lie.

A majority of Americans express overwhelming favorability towards Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

“Making cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, pausing infectious disease research, and revoking FDA approval of vaccines are broadly unpopular. Among a list of policies related to public health and health care, more than two in three oppose cutting Medicare (85 percent) and cutting Medicaid (81 percent), stopping research into infectious diseases for several years (77 percent), and revoking FDA approval of childhood vaccines, like those for the measles, mumps, and rubella (68 percent oppose).”

Jen Psaki: Trump isn't just getting his facts wrong on Social Security

Plus, Sen. Slotkin's address response highlight reel and one final special podcast guest in this week’s 3-Minute Read from Jen Psaki.

www.msnbc.com

Despite his protestations to the contrary, we all know that Social Security is in Trump's cross hairs. He claims, without providing evidence, fraud is rampant in the system, and that millions of dead people are still receiving monthly benefits. He recently claimed, in responding to a reporter's question, that he would not touch Social Security, but fraud in the system was not off limits.

I expect this "fraud" that he speaks of will be presented to the American people as his justification for attacking the system. The problem, same as his protestations of a "stolen election" in 2020, will be that he produces no evidence whatsoever. To Trump and the Cult members, fraud is whatever he says it is,period, end of story.

So a word to those Americans receiving monthly Social Security benefits, prepare for monthly benefits to stop, for whatever reason Trump gives. If possible, save what you can and prepare for lean times ahead.

Bigly!!!

Libs do not understand that $2 trillion yearly deficits are not sustainable

[Nobody911]

It is true that the billionaire Trump is pursuing policies that could impact Social Security, but the specifics are nuanced. The US government of the rich, for the rich? lol.

#### Context and Details

1. Executive Orders and Proposals: Since returning to the White House in 2025, Trump has signed several executive orders. While some of these orders focus on immigration and other areas, there are indications that his administration is considering changes that could affect the Social Security Administration. For instance, there are reports that staffing shortages at the Social Security Administration could be exacerbated by Trump's policies, making it harder for seniors to receive benefits.

2. Public Statements: Despite these actions, Trump has publicly stated his intention to protect Social Security and Medicare, which are critical programs for many Americans, particularly seniors. This creates a contradiction between his rhetoric and the implications of his executive actions.

3. Future Changes: As of now, it remains unclear how and when any proposed changes to Social Security will be implemented. Trump's administration has not provided specific details on the timeline or nature of these changes.

In sum, while Trump is indeed pursuing policies that could affect Social Security, he also claims to support the program, leading to a complex situation where the outcomes are still uncertain.

#### Key Proposals by Trump Regarding Social Security in 2025

In 2025, Trump's proposals concerning Social Security reflect a mix of intentions that could significantly impact the program. Here are the key elements:

1. Project 2025 Agenda: Trump's administration is influenced by a comprehensive policy agenda known as Project 2025, which outlines a vision for governance that includes potential changes to Social Security. Critics argue that this agenda could lead to cuts in benefits and make it more challenging for seniors to access their entitlements.

2. Taxation on Benefits: One of Trump's notable proposals is to eliminate federal income taxes on Social Security benefits. Currently, about 40% of beneficiaries pay taxes on their Social Security income, typically affecting those with additional income sources. By removing these taxes, Trump aims to provide financial relief, although this change is expected to disproportionately benefit higher-income households.

3. Concerns About Insolvency: Analysts warn that Trump's plans could lead to Social Security insolvency by 2031, resulting in significant cuts to benefits—potentially as much as a 33% reduction across the board. This concern stems from the overall fiscal implications of his proposed policies.

4. Impact on the Social Security Administration: There are fears that Trump's policies may weaken the Social Security Administration itself, making it harder for beneficiaries to receive their payments. This could involve staffing cuts or changes in how the agency operates, which would directly affect millions of Americans relying on these benefits.

In sum, while Trump has proposed eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits, his broader agenda raises significant concerns about the sustainability and accessibility of the program for future beneficiaries.
