Last week, I objected to Kamala Harris’s claim that Trump’s plan would cause Social Security checks to “stop coming.”

Now, the Biden campaign itself has a commercial, with Biden-approved text:

“The Chief Actuary of the Social Security Administration just released an analysis of Trump’s planned cuts to Social Security. Under Trump’s plan, Social Security would become permanently depleted by the middle of calendar year 2023. If Trump gets his way, Social Security benefits will run out in just 3 years from now. Don’t let it happen. Joe Biden will protect Social Security.”

I can’t even begin to say how false this is.
