6:50Now PlayingMike Johnson went on the radio and said Republicans have a plan next year to “adjust” entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. The timing is brutal, because the new trustees report says Social Security’s retirement trust fund could run dry in 2032, triggering an automatic 22 percent benefit cut if Congress fails to act. Trump’s tax cuts and immigration crackdown helped worsen the program’s finances, and now Republicans are dressing up benefit cuts as “waste, fraud, and abuse” before November.
