美国大选最后一场辩论（实时直播）：拜登说如果特朗普继续不收工资税，那社保将在2023年破产！

事实核查：拜登拒绝特朗普的``计划''，这可能会破坏社会保障
拜登·克莱姆（BIDEN CLAIM）：“我们处于一种将要摧毁医疗保险的状况的想法，这是医疗保险精算师说的那个人……如果事实上，他继续扣留-他的扣缴税款的计划关于社会保障，社会保障将在2023年破产。”
 
事实核查：拜登的说法在许多方面都具有误导性，但其根源在于特朗普在八月份采取的行动和他的评论。
 
特朗普在8月签署了一项行政命令，暂时中止了工资税的征收，工资税是对工人及其雇主分配的工资征收的税。他随后断言他想永久取消该税。
 
在2019年，税收为社会保障提供了89％的资金。工人和雇主各自缴纳工资的6.2％，而自雇人士缴纳全部工资的12.4％。
 
但是，在特朗普签署行政命令后，他公开表示，他将从政府的“普通资金”中提取任何社会保障资金损失，这种情况是精算师在回应民主党参议员时所考虑的情况，告诉他们，如果特朗普继续执行并实际上提出类似于其公众意见的立法，则该计划的偿付能力将基本保持不变。
 
但是，自从特朗普发布命令以来，尽管拜登声称特朗普提出了全面的“提案”，但特朗普和共和党并未就如何防止免除工资税影响美国金融安全的问题公布更详细的立法。社会保障。
 
8月下旬，民主党参议员罗恩·怀登（Ron Wyden），伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders），克里斯·范荷伦（Chris Van Hollen）和查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer）给社会保障计划的首席精算师致函，询问取消工资税的影响如何。对此，首席精算师说，他不知道已经提出了任何“假想立法”。他简单地回应了参议院民主党提出的方案，他说，如果没有更多的资金流来抵消消除薪金税的话，那么到2023年，社会保障福利计划的资金将被耗尽。
  
特朗普到目前为止还没有说的是，从政府普通基金中调拨资金可能会对哪些计划产生影响，只是他将保护社会保障福利。普通基金为美国政府的运营提供资金，例如记录“财政部收到和分配的资金”，并且“包括由联邦政府支持的房利美和国税局持有的资产”。

Fact check: Biden off on Trump's 'plan' that could defund Social Security
BIDEN CLAIM: "The idea that we're in a situation that is going to destroy Medicare, this is the guy that the actuary of Medicare said ... if, in fact, he continues to withhold -- his plan to withhold the tax on Social Security, Social Security will be bankrupt by 2023."
 
FACT CHECK: Biden’s claim is misleading on a number of fronts, but is rooted in an action Trump took and comments he made in August.
 
Trump signed an executive order in August that temporarily halted the collection of the payroll tax, a tax on wages split by workers and their employers. He subsequently asserted that he would like to permanently eliminate the tax.
 
In 2019, the tax financed 89% of Social Security. Workers and employers each contribute 6.2% of wages, while self-employed people pay the full 12.4%.
 
However, following Trump’s signing of the executive order, he has said publicly that he will draw from the government’s “general funds” to cover any lost funding for Social Security, a scenario the actuary accounted for in his response to the group of Democratic senators, telling them that the solvency of the program will be essentially unchanged if Trump follows through and actually proposes legislation akin to his public comments.
 
But since Trump issued his order, and despite Biden’s claims that Trump put forward a full-fledged “proposal,” Trump and the GOP have not unveiled more detailed legislation on how they would prevent the elimination of the payroll tax from impacting the financial security of Social Security.
 
In late August, Democratic Sens. Ron Wyden, Bernie Sanders, Chris Van Hollen and Chuck Schumer sent a letter to the chief actuary of the Social Security program asking what the effect of eliminating the payroll tax would be. In response, the chief actuary said he was not aware of any “hypothetical legislation” that had been proposed. In simply responding to the scenario posed by Senate Democrats, he said the Social Security benefit program would be depleted of funds by 2023 if there's no additional stream of funding identified to offset eliminating of the payroll tax.
  
What Trump has not said thus far is what programs could potentially be impacted by the redirection of funds from the government's general fund, only that he will protect Social Security benefits. The general fund finances the operations of the U.S. government, such as recording "funds received and distributed by the Department of the Treasury," and it "includes assets held by government-sponsored entities like Fannie Mae and the Internal Revenue Service."
