Yall got yer hopes up for Nothing.

I'm going to save Social Security. You have tremendous waste, fraud and abuse. We have in Social Security thousands of people over 106 years old. You know they don't exist. There's tremendous waste, fraud and abuse, and we're going to get it. But we're not going to hurt the people who have been paying into Social Security their whole life and then all of a sudden they're supposed to get less. We're bringing jobs back.

Medicare either....

[At CPAC, Trump said}: "As Republicans, if you think you are going to change very substantially for the worse Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security in any substantial way, and at the same time you think you are going to win elections, it just really is not going to happen," Mr. Trump said, adding that polls show that tea partyers are among those who don't want their entitlements changed. "What we have to do and the way we solve our problems it to build a great economy."Source: 2013 Conservative Political Action Conf. in Washington Times , Mar 15, 2013

All social security payments will now go into the Clinton Foundation Trust Fund since she is dead broke and needs the money.

There can be no doubt that with Trump's thoughts on Social Security and a Republican Congress that Social Security will greatly suffer and recipients will be imperiled. That has been their plan all along and now that they have the means to sock it to the elderly, the sick and those now receiving Social Security they will not hesitate to act on that wet dream.

More scare tactics talking point. To touch SS would be political suicide. You're being disingenuous.

He might get rid of some fraudsters and shore up the funding that Congress has pillaged somehow.

And-?

don't believe the BS about Social Security. It's in the general fund and it's guaranteed.

Reagan , Greenspan, and buddies drew up the current rules which will expire in 2033.

after that they will create new rules and people like me who collect after that date will most likely have reduced benefits and a higher collection age. Younger people will most likely pay higher SS tax.


but none of this is because "it's going bankrupt" , it's because they'll want to make it that way

Hopefully, the social security trust fund will be restored to its original condition and reforms will be made to ensure it's long term survival. I wouldn't hold my breath though.
