Donald Trump erodes Social Security and Medicare solvency while blaming Democrats
“If Trump wants to step up, he can work with lawmakers to take one or more of the following steps: raise the full retirement age (now 67), trim benefits, require higher income people to pay more, and bring in more money from workers by raising the cap on income subject to the payroll tax. These options mean pain for voters, and that’s why Trump is the the latest in a long line of politicians who can’t or won’t act. The only difference: He lies and says everything’s great. The joke will soon be on us.”
