Trump has said he would close Social Security’s long-term shortfall by increasing oil and gas drilling and growing the economy, rather than by raising taxes or making direct benefit cuts.
He has also said we can fix Social Security by doing nothing except kick off the people collecting fraudulent payments especially to the 115 and 125 year olds.
Sadly, many Americans believe him.
The man is a complete…
Over and underpayments occur, other errors are made. There is no mass fraud creating overpayments or depleting the trust fund. Errors are regularly found and fixed. That is what inspectors general do…until Trump fired many of them.,
Data file errors are not payment errors.
None of what Trump claims or suggests will fix social security…
but what he has done with his tax legislation to date has made the situation worse.
His anti-immigration obsession is not helping either as we need to build a younger workforce over the next many years and immigrants are an important source.
