I am glad you are happy with Donald so far mickeycrimm.But come on, don't tell me you aren't aware of Trump saying one thing one minute and doing the opposite the next. Musk really wants to cut and do completely away with SS. Better hope he isn't the last one in Donalds ear on the subject.
I am not really counting on social security for me, but I would like my mother to get hers. She is currently retired from 25 years of teaching, but her pension isn't quite enough. My brother and I supplement her a little bit while we wait for her to hit full retirement so she gets the higher SS amount.
As for what is going to happen in 2034, I am not too worried about that. IF social security survives the all republican control of the next two years, and congress gets back to normal, the likely solution will be they do nothing until 2034 and then just pay the additional money from the general government expenses (more debt). That way neither side has to do anything about it before then and they can just talk and blame each other.
