    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

            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.

                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.

                    Hopefully removing it but that isn’t trumps plan.

                    Right now everyone is throwing out ideas to save the system. Eventually it’ll just crush under its own weight
