What is Trump going to do to social security since he is now going to be president? Just wondering because my mom gets SS and she does not want me to support here? - eviltoast

    Please understand that “nothing” means the built up surplus runs out and there will be not enough money to pay all benefits.

    The smart and easy fix would be to raise the cap on ss taxes while flattening the “you deserve more money because you made more money when you were working” weirdness.

    Instead, they’ll likely either do nothing and force the dems to fix it in four years, play with benefits to make the poor suffer, or try and replace it with a phased in 401k style stock market scam.

    (that last option, btw, is killing social security.)
