Since I tend to fact-check everything, I actually took a look at the policy changes that are currently being proposed.

The SSA helpfully compile a list of impacts to social security in the 2030's, 2050's and 2070's and they quite clearly labelled that the impacts are on the current-law beneficiaries aged 60 and older (they're including disability and death benefits).

The vast majority of them see some kind of impact to the vast majority of beneficiaries. Have a look for yourself.

I tend to be a sceptic so I'm going to lean towards, since they haven't fixed it in 40 years, why would I think they'll fix it in another 9?

That's just my two cents, though, and it's not like I haven't been wrong before.
