DOGE's plans for social security are back door way to cut payments, experts and former official warn: 'This is the most serious threat I've ever seen to it'

The article from MSN discusses concerns raised by experts and a former Social Security official about the potential impact of Project 2025, a policy initiative by the Heritage Foundation, on Social Security. This initiative, which has been linked to former President Donald Trump's potential second term, includes proposals that could significantly alter Social Security benefits. Critics argue that these plans, which involve raising the retirement age and reducing benefits, are essentially a "back door" method to cut Social Security payments. Max Richtman, president of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, described these proposals as the "most serious threat" he has seen to Social Security, highlighting the risk of benefit cuts under the guise of reform. The article also notes that while Trump has not explicitly endorsed these plans, his past comments on entitlement programs suggest he might be open to such changes.
