Not long ago, senior citizens got the two biggest annual increases in their monthly Social Security checks that most had ever seen. But for many of them, the adjustments still weren’t enough to cope with the runaway inflation of earlier this decade and the continued high prices for food, housing, utilities and other necessities.

So let’s see… “Not keeping up with inflation” vs “reducing it even further”…
You lack critical thinking skills. Watch their voting histories. Every time you say “citation plz!” - all we really have to do is gesture broadly to…well…everything…
The claim is he wants to eliminate it. A reduction in benefits isn’t an elimination of the program. Two very different things.
Ah the good ol’ conservative mantra. Cut spending to programs that work. Claim government doesn’t work. Cut spending even more, turn program useless, point at it as an example that government doesn’t work. Blame Government for useless program, push to “privatize” it - moving the goalposts every time people mention that you’re trying to destroy a system that worked…
We’ve seen it all before.
I have no issues with eliminating social security but the claim was Trump wants to eliminate it. I see no evidence of that
They’re not going to provide evidence and we all know it
It’s funny. Lefties are unable to have a discussion. They want to throw a lie out and then throw insults when you ask to see the evidence.
I am here for discussions. Not catch phrases.
I have seen nothing from Trump that he wants to end social security. They keep babbling about 2025 protect which the republicans do not support and Trump does not support.
Can you tell me what the Heritage Foundation is?
Can you explain every single news article under this search? https://www.google.com/search?q=gop calls to end social security&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-m#ip=1
And yes, Cheetoh Jesus has called for cuts to social security and raising the age.
You claiming youve never seen it highlights your ability to ingest information outside your bubble.
The heritage party is a private think tank. It’s not part of the Republican Party and doesn’t drive political agenda. Trump also has nothing to do with Heritage
So what’s your point?
Cuts is not elimination. So you aware babbling about something I already crushed.
Since you didn’t pay attention. The claim is eliminate. You can prove he plans to eliminate ?
Im the original reply. I’m well aware of what I wrote.
What do you think the plan is after social security benefits are lowered and the age is raised so that everyone dies before they can use it?
Secondly, if you think that think tanks dont drive policy and even literally write legislation youre delusional.
