GOP Senator Accuses Party of Misleading Voters on Social Security Cuts

Senator John Curtis (R-UT) has criticized Republican leaders for being dishonest about the future of Social Security, asserting on NBC's Meet the Press that claims of not touching the program are misleading. He warned that without addressing looming insolvency issues, benefits could be significantly cut in the coming years, which could erode public trust in politicians. Curtis emphasized the need for a transparent discussion about the program's future, particularly for younger generations who doubt they will receive benefits. The remarks echo concerns about potential cuts and changes to Social Security, which serves over 70 million Americans. As the GOP faces pressure from both sides, the conversation about Social Security's sustainability and reform is becoming increasingly urgent. The ongoing debate highlights the political risks associated with altering such a vital entitlement program.
