Trump has promised that 'we're not touching' Social Security benefits, but will he keep that promise? Does he even want to?
The article from the Los Angeles Times, penned by Anita Chabria, discusses the ongoing debate over Social Security in the context of the 2024 presidential election. It highlights how former President Donald Trump has made Social Security a focal point of his campaign, promising not to cut benefits, which contrasts with his previous administration's proposals for changes to the program. The piece explores the political implications of this stance, noting that Democrats are also pushing to protect and possibly expand Social Security, seeing it as a winning issue among voters. Chabria delves into the financial challenges facing Social Security, with projections indicating that the trust fund could be depleted by 2034, necessitating either benefit cuts or tax increases. The article also touches on public sentiment, where there's a broad consensus across party lines for maintaining or enhancing benefits, yet a lack of consensus on how to fund the program's future. This issue is framed within the broader political landscape, where economic security for seniors could significantly influence voter turnout and preferences in the upcoming election.
