This isn’t just touching the third rail of American politics. It’s throwing your arms around it while soaking wet.
Donald Trump had just about climbed out of the very deep hole he’d dug for himself last week when he went on TV and talked loosely about “cutting” programs such as Medicare and Social Security.
They also talked about raising the U.S. retirement age at some point in the future, the better to reflect rising life expectancy, though they left open the date for making such a change. Politicians mess with this topic at their peril. Evidence suggests it was loose talk on this subject that cost the Republicans their “red wave” in the 2022 midterm elections.
