Trump Would Undermine Social Security By $2.3 Trillion

As the 2024 election approaches, candidate Vice President Harris and Former – President Trump promise to protect Social Security, but only Donald Trump has specific proposals. And Trump’s plan would cut Social Security benefits by 33 percent and drive Social Security to insolvency by 2031. The proposals would benefit high income individuals and drain $2.3 trillion from the trust funds, which need at almost $.5 trillion to stay solvent.

On her part, Harris has not outlined how she would protect Social Security.
