Social Security’s Future: Empty Promises or Real Reform?

In this episode of "This Podcast is Not Real," our AI hosts dive into the growing uncertainty around Social Security’s future and President Trump’s role in shaping it.

While Trump pledged to protect benefits and even eliminate taxes on Social Security income, the system faces a massive funding shortfall—with experts warning that benefit cuts could begin as soon as 2035.

We explore:

• What changes the Trump administration actually made—like cost-cutting and fraud prevention

• Why those efforts fall short of fixing the core funding problem

• The demographic reality putting pressure on Social Security

• And what’s at stake for retirees, workers, and future generations

Is Social Security really safe—or are we just delaying the inevitable?
