Trump’s Deal with House Republicans on Social Security Cuts

President Trump recently made headlines for striking a deal with House Republicans to not use reconciliation to cut Social Security. However, this supposed victory for Trump is not as significant as it may seem. The problem lies in the fact that reconciliation cannot legally be used to make cuts to Social Security.


According to political analyst Matt Glassman, House Republicans agreed not to use reconciliation to cut Social Security in exchange for raising the debt ceiling. Glassman pointed out that this promise is essentially a “Fig Leaf for the ages,” as reconciliation is already prohibited from making changes to Social Security by law.

Under the Byrd Rule, changes to Social Security benefits or payroll taxes cannot be included in a reconciliation bill, as outlined by the Brookings Institution. This means that House Republicans agreeing not to cut Social Security through reconciliation is essentially a moot point, as it was never a viable option to begin with.

While Trump may tout this agreement as a win for protecting Social Security, the reality is that it simply shifts the focus of potential cuts to other essential programs such as healthcare for the poor, children, the disabled, and veterans. By diverting attention away from Social Security, these vulnerable populations may now face increased risk of funding cuts and reduced services.
