Analysis | Power Up: Gary Cohn says Trump’s proposed cuts to Social Security would be ‘political suicide’

in which Harvard undergraduate and graduate students will compete for the opportunity to present their ideas to lawmakers and administration officials in Washington. The goal is to bring fresh ideas to the table to address this intergenerational issue., the program's “combined trust funds will be depleted in 2034" if Congress does not take action.

It was never a serious proposal, in spite of [former Director of the Office of Budget and Management Mick Mulvaney] saying that this time they are really going to push for it Critics of Cohn saw a contradiction between Cohn's work on Trump's tax bill versus the nature of his current project:

Hopefully! He lies about everything,to give tax cuts to the rich then cut SS If he’s not dead politically he should be

Ya think!!!

It probably won’t matter, because the Democrats will fail completely to telegraph the issue in a salient way to take back the White House in 2020.

Let’s hope he does what he usually does: ignores expert advice. You touch the third-rail, you fry.

Political suicide? Are you kidding? The psychopath and his minions are destroying our livelihoods without consequences! Political suicide? Highly doubt it. If McConnell had any concern for US he would stop trump right now! On the face-GOP says they care, behind the scene-pariahs!

Promise?

esther_reedy Republicans in Congress would be concerned, but vote for it and support Trump.

There is no such thing for this man. His racist base will support any stupid idea he comes up with.

This fool is doing everything & anything to build the wall dam shame, the company is Russia own

I am here for that

Yikes

We won't get it anyway, too many illegals to support.

NO ONE MENTION SS SO WHY MUST YOU MAKE SHIT UP ALL THE TIME?

Political suicide for the entire GOP. They thought health care was bad ? Just wait. Taking money away from the elderly, after they paid into it their entire life, won't sit well.

Here’s what Trump said to get elected: “I’m not going to cut social security like every other Republican...” Maybe stevenmnuchin1 will again try the ‘we litigated the issue when Trump got elected’ spin? Same logic as tax returns Tell us one thing+get elected=license to reneg

Oh go ahead. Why listen to a washed up politico when you can listen to a great company like Nike and “just do it.”

I think he and Melania and Barron need to live on an average SS check for about 6 mos. We'll put them up in 'other' govt. housing in DC, refuse them SNAP benefits and tell them where the free clinic is and see how they do. NotMyPresident notmyvoice

We could only be so lucky...

Fake news..... Potus does not support any cuts to social security waposucks

Truth is someone needs to address it. The trustee report has been clear for years now. Both parties have ignored it.

Analysis: Stop trying to apply political norms and traditions to the new GOP. This is their guy, nothing is going to change his base or support.

who would have thought giving the 1% a trillion or so break and Breaking the Poor and Elderly would've ever been a good plan., I Still see Wapo as a Islamophobic racist rag.

Keep your CLAMS off my Social Security. ResignTrump

HANDS OFF SOCIAL SECURITY

Big if true!

Maybe Gary should speak frankly about the level of ineptitude he saw while working at the WH. Why is Omarosa, as odious as she is, the only one with the balls to talk about it?

Analysis: The Washington Post STILL has not made a post about Benjamin Netanyahu's historic win last night in Isreal's election for PM

Please, please, please propose cuts to Social Security Mr. Trump.

Ah. Much like taking a job with the trump administration.

PLEASE CUT IT THEN.
