I think Trump has always said leave social security alone. If cuts are needed...cut government. That's what I hope they do...cut the crap out of government. I doubt anything so worthwhile as that would happen, though.Either taxes will have to be raised, the money will have to be borrowed, or Social Security and Medicare benefits will have to be cut. Without additional funds, the cuts to monthly Social Security checks would come to around 25% per person, the trustees warn. The average Social Security benefit is $1,400 a month. Cutting that by 25% would take it down to $1,150."
