Trump has promised if reelected to end the payroll taxes which fund Social Security and Medicare and those programs will run out of money in three years. Since the GOP will never approve another tax to fund these programs, they will sputter and then die. So I ask those Trump followers over 62, you can get reduced Social Security payments at 62, are you willing to take the chance that the Social Security and Medicare you have paid into all of your working life will end in three years? I remember listening to a GOP member from Kentucky talking to a reporter in 2016 about the GOP trying to end the ACA. She told the reporter that the GOP would never do that and it was just one of those campaign promises no one expect to actually happen. Well we know how that has gone. One ruling by SCOTUS will end the program and 20 million people will lose their health insurance. I know you will only vote Trump, but why would you do so knowing he will do everything he can to end those programs and "fulfill" his promise to do so?

SS and Medicare are not paid out of any payroll tax fund. They are paid out of the Treasury's general fund. So no...I've seen no indication in word or deed that Trump will end SS or Medicare.
You say "I know you will only vote Trump", meaning Americans over 62, I guess. What evidence do you have that most Americans over 62 will vote for Trump?
You are wrong. The Federal general fund is used for all programs that are not supported by a trust. Social Security is a trust program.

The Democratic Party has been lying for decades, falsely claiming Republicans are going to cancel social security. Basically, the Democratic Party is a domestic terrorist organization telling any and every lie they can think of to terrorize as many people as possible.
If it was for hate-mongering, advocating violence and destruction, fear-mongering, race baiting, promoting social divisions, despising the USA and Americans, and lying the Democratic Party would have nothing. There is NOTHING positive about the Democratic Party. Without lying the Democratic Party would have nothing to say at all.
And if those funds don't have enough money in them, the Treasury will replace those funds out of the general fund.
SS and Medicare will not end.
Of course, it'll be wise for Congress to find some way to replace any funds lost if they decide to end the payroll tax. Not doing so would result in more deficit spending.
I won't make any predictions about the wisdom of Congress.

Um...yes, they are. DUH!!!
Social Security is financed through a dedicated payroll tax. Employers and employees each pay 6.2 percent of wages up to the taxable maximum of $137,700 (in 2020), while the self-employed pay 12.4 percent.
How is Social Security financed? | Press Office | SSA.

Sorry, but you can not educate those who do not wish to be educated so you are probably wasting your time, but thank you for the info.
You should really have a talk with fellow poster “Conservative” because he’s going to be really mad at you and rant about how you don’t know anything about how taxes work.SS and Medicare are not paid out of any payroll tax fund. They are paid out of the Treasury's general fund. So no...I've seen no indication in word or deed that Trump will end SS or Medicare.

I am sure you know that the general fund has borrowed now over 3 trillion dollars from the Social Security and Medicare funds to help balance the Federal budget over the last thirty years. This was done by BOTH parties, so I am not blaming one party or thee other for this. So the general fund has to pay this back before the FICA fund "runs" out of money.
Where are you getting this fever dream. And support by rational people?
Your full of it as usual. You said, "SS and Medicare are not paid out of any payroll tax fund."
"....find some way to replace any funds lost if they decide to end the payroll tax."
Why would Congress need to find a way to replace funds lost if the payroll tax is ended. According to you SS is not funded by a payroll tax.
I suggest you sue to get your money back from Trump U. That place failed you.:lamo
Or...the government just runs a deficit.
As I said...I won't make any predictions about the wisdom of Congress.
:lamo
Ive said it numerous times. The leftist p[laybook is so predictable its patheitc. They cant win on being honest about their policy goals so they use fear and make the same ridiculous tired attacks they have in every federal election since the 70s.
Racist
Sexist
Anti-gay
Class warfare
Social Security
Leftists dont need campaign strategists because they are always going to do the same thing. Every time.
