Cuts to Social Security in budget proposals during The Trump Administration

[waynezo]

Were there Cuts to Social Security in budget proposals during The Trump Administration? If so, was it every year?

 

[DrRoy]

I am not aware of that during budget proposals from the first term. There are definitely cuts to SS and Medicare in Project 2025.

 

[frank]

is project 2025 a real thing or just rabble rousing?

MODERATOR NOTE ON THREAD CLOSURE:

Just a reminder that we don't allow political discussions/arguments here. Loaded questions that are likely to lead to that result, whether intentionally or not, are also prohibited. Posts may be deleted and threads closed by the moderators when and as they feel necessary to enforce this rule.

We also do not allow discussion of legislative proposals before they are reported out of their appropriate Congressional committee. Most proposed legislation does not ever get introduced, most of what is introduced never makes it out of committee and, even if reported out, does not get passed. Allowing discussion before it even has a chance of being passed is likely just to lead to arguments and hard feelings for no good reason.

This means that policy proposals from any political campaign are not fodder for discussion, period.
