At this point, who is promising more government benefits?
Right now, the biggest promise of increased benefits is the "Medicare for all" crowd. Since this moves the program away from one that is more means tested and into a universal benefit, it is more of a common good move than anything else. An individual's motivation for their position, though, is hard to determine.
