Project 2025 Cut Social Security is a hypothetical proposal to reduce Social Security benefits in the United States. The proposal was first introduced in 2010 by the Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank. The proposal has been criticized by some who argue that it would disproportionately impact low-income and middle-class Americans.
The proposal’s supporters argue that it is necessary to address the long-term solvency of the Social Security program. They argue that the program is facing a funding shortfall that is projected to grow in the coming years. If the shortfall is not addressed, they argue, the program will eventually be unable to pay full benefits to retirees.
