A new independent report released Monday concludes that Donald Trump's proposals to eliminate taxation of Social Security benefits, end taxes on tips and overtime, impose tariffs and expand deportations would result in a 33 percent benefit cut in 2035.
This conclusion isn't surprising. As president, Trump tried to cut Social Security and Medicare programs by billions of dollars every single year he was in office. Trump called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme" and has dismissed Social Security and Medicare as bribes for the American people.
As a senior who paid taxes for decades to earn my Medicare and Social Security benefits, I am beyond outraged!
Even worse, just this year, Trump said "there's a lot you can do... in terms of cutting" Americans' hard-earned benefits. Trump has called for privatizing Social Security and supported raising the retirement age. Trump wants to let Big Pharma charge whatever they want, making drug companies richer, while raising costs for seniors.
It's a stark contrast with Vice President Harris, who will always make sure that seniors who have paid into Social Security and Medicare can always count on getting the benefits they worked for.
Kamala Harris is the only logical choice for president.
