Trump plans on breaking Social Security

Even though he said he won't touch it, he keeps spreading lies about it. And he plans on firing 7,000 employees who keep the payments going out and on time. As well as shuttering some offices. Then he will throw up his hands and say "It's broken, let's scrap it".

Social Security pays for itself and has been solvent for around 80 years. It caps out at $176.1k of your earnings. Meaning that most people pay into it 100%, while wealthy people can pay less than 1% of their earnings. Upping the cap modestly fixes Social Security for the foreseeable future.

He might end up pushing for scrapping Social Security or more likely, replacing it with some sort of privatized plan to benefit his moneyed supporters, but I've got to think that's at the very end of his list. Other programs are much easier and less politically dangerous to loot first, like the post office and even Medicaid.

If he gets around to Social Security, I really expect it wouldn't be until after the midterms or he's eliminated Congress as an obstacle.

You've obviously never worked at a government agency people don't make those checks keep going out not the employees there social security is still using an archaic system from the 1980s to early 90s

Every agency in the government could run with 10 percent of the staff, They aren't manning typewriter and file cabinets anymore, it's all bloat.
Less employees means money saved for taxpayers.

No one who loves Trump will care.

It’s honestly gotten to the point where we can all draw a line and on one side is silence and the other is violence

There’s not discussing anything in the US anymore
