Yup. It is literally the exact image Democrats used to attack Republicans in the past who were trying to put Social Security on a solvent path.. It makes it absolutely impossible to have even a discussion about how you can return long-term solvency to Social Security without screwing over the seniors who need it for retirement.
I'm a few years away, but right now, it is projected to be running a massive deficit when I'm in my mid-70's, and I have zero faith the younger generations are going to be willing to pony up the money to pay it all. That's why it has to be discussed now, because the sooner you make fixes, the less drastic those fixes need to be.
But we can't even talk about it because Trump is demagoguing the issue as a Republican. Completely irresponsible on his part, but he thinks it works to his political advantage so he doesn't care.
