Project 2025 Will Destroy Social Security, Leaving Millions Homeless

I am attempting to raise awareness of the Heritage Foundation’s Budget Blueprint Policy Proposals, specifically their 17 policy proposals regarding Social Security. This is the “Project 2025” plan for Social Security.

In 2024, Social Security ‘s budget was $1.12 trillion. The average monthly benefit for someone on Social Security is $1,907. Project 2025 intends to cut approximately $1.076 trillion. That is over 96.07% of Social Security’s budget.

If you don’t currently receive Social Security, you want this program to continue. 70.6 million Americans received benefits from programs administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA) in 2022. This is roughly 21.2% of Americans. It is likely that your parents, grandparents, and many other loved ones would not be financially independent without Social Security benefits. Already, many who receive Social Security benefits are struggling and cannot manage their financial situation. If Project 2025 reduces the amount of monthly benefits or reduces who is eligible to receive benefits, those people will face poverty, homelessness, food shortages, etc.

Social Security is financed because workers like you pay into it. The program was created so that American workers could retire at a reasonable age or in the event of a disabling injury. Taking it away means many would not have the financial stability to retire, be financially independent in their old age, or would need to provide care to aging relatives.

Here's what you can do to stop them:

Ensuring that the Social Security programs continue, that benefits are not reduced, and that claimants and beneficiaries remain eligible are consistently among the most critical issues to voters.

I am asking for the members of this subreddit to boost awareness of the Heritage Foundation’s intended policy proposals with regard to Social Security in the hopes that the public will take action to prevent their implementation. I feel that this information is extremely important for members of this community in making decisions with regard to their financial, health, employment, and political future.

Simply put, I believe Reddit can affect an enormous impact with posts like this one, which show screencaptures from the Heritage Foundation's own website as conclusive proof of their intention to cut billions from the Social Security programs. I believe Redditors can post these images across various social networks to raise awareness.

Social Security is, for many people, their main source of income, what they rely on when they retire, their safety net when they get injured or get sick. Don’t let them take it away without a fight.
