Yeah, you can't really "touch" social security.

But you CAN underestimate inflation by excluding key components and thus reduce purchasing power (look it up).

I'd save about $1,500 a year. THANK YOU, President Trump and Congressional Republicans. Let's get this thing done, now!

The last thing rinos are going to do is cut social security and Medicare. These b******* won't even kill Obamacare and you seriously think they are going to touch SS and Medicare? That's delusional.

Using the same numbers I pay more under the trump plan by $2000. So you were saying something about talking points?

I wish I didn't know this, now I'll cry when they mess this up. Unreal how democrats and media make it sound like such a bad plan when it obviously helps many hard working people

The truth isn't exactly something the left, especially those in media, are known for.
