Two Trump policies push Social Security funding cliff to 2032
The 2026 OASDI Trustees Report shows Social Security’s trust fund will run dry before the end of 2032, earlier than previously forecast. The article argues two Trump policies—an immigration crackdown that reduces the taxable workforce and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) tax cuts—are accelerating the funding gap, with the OBBA costing about $168.6 billion over 10 years (roughly $30 billion per year). It notes these moves are unlikely to be reversed and offers general guidance on planning, saving, and seeking professional advice to prepare for possible benefit reductions.
