However, Social Security is also basically incapable of going bankrupt. Two of the program's three sources of revenue -- the 12.4% payroll tax on earned income and the taxation of benefits -- are recurring.

Well...maybe one of three sources. Trump wants to do away with the payroll tax.

" Trump wants to do away with the payroll tax."

Wrong! He wants a payroll tax holiday, Which I Oppose!
I would rather see a loan or withdrawal option for a limited amount over a limited basis. Helps immediately those who need it and still not bankrupt the whole thing.
