Former President Donald Trump has vowed not to cut Social Security and Medicare, but experts warn his policy proposals could deplete the programs’ funds sooner. A new analysis projects Trump’s agenda would make Social Security insolvent in six years. Despite Trump’s public commitment to protect these programs, his proposal to eliminate the tax on Social Security benefits could accelerate insolvency. The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates this would result in $1.6 trillion less revenue, causing Social Security to become insolvent by 2032 and Medicare by 2030. Coupled with other proposals, Social Security could run out of cash by 2031.
