Pelosi Statement on Devastating Social Security Consequences of Trump’s Threat to ‘Terminate’ Payroll Tax

Washington, D.C. — Speaker Nancy Pelosi released this statement after the Social Security Administration chief actuary released an analysis finding that if President Trump achieved his threat to ‘terminate’ the payroll tax, the Social Security Disability Insurance Trust Fund would be exhausted by mid-2021 and the Social Security Old Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund would be exhausted by mid-2023:

“President Trump continues to play fast and loose with the health and well-being of America’s seniors. The new analysis today shows the swift potential devastation of President Trump’s reckless call to ‘terminate’ the payroll tax: shattering the sacred promise of Social Security.

“While Trump tries to hollow out the Social Security Trust Fund, Democrats will stand strong for America’s seniors and Social Security beneficiaries.”

Now there is a dramatic difference for this election. Talk about wheeling grandma off the cliff. GWB just dreamed about it. The Orange Jesus hates everyone enough to do it.

3. Kicking. We need to bludgeon Trump and the entire GOP with their

complicity in a scheme destroy Social Security. Culling our elders....if covid doesn't kill you, the Republicans will.

7. Not just the elderly but anyone on SSDI and SSI.

8. True, that. And even those who are young today have been paying into

Social Security all along and have the right to expect their earned benefits when age or disability catches up with them someday in the future..

4. Not one person over 65...

Should be voting red this year..

5. K & R...for visibility...

This is some important shit, folks!

6. And if you're in your fifties & been paying into the SS fund all your life & it goes belly up,

what recourse is there? This won't just affect us retired folks.

9. SSI going broke would throw the country into a depression

Businesses would lose out on all the purchasing power behind SSI.
