[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ideas they are considering are linked in this article (there's a PDF list): https://ccf.georgetown.edu/2025/01/20/house-budget-committee-circulates-new-detailed-list-of-budget-reconciliation-options-including-draconian-medicaid-cuts-within-house-republican-caucus/

There needs to be Social Security reform of some kind and the potential changes get more and more painful the longer you wait. That's not a Trump-specific issue at all. The money is not being stolen. https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/solvency/

Raise the cap and that will make it solvent. Stop forcing people in demanding manual labor jobs to work longer and longer, if they are able to manage to find a job at their age. [/quote]

Raising the cap alone will not make it solvent. Look at E2.1 in the link below.  It addresses 73% of the issue, assuming no credit to benefits, and that's doing it immediately for 2025, which is surely not on the table at this point. So it will be even less helpful if done in the future.
