What’s Trump’s position on SS and Medicare?
He should slice medicaid.
Actual discretionary spending is a small part of our budget.
If SS and Medicare remain the same, there will be no balanced budget, i’m afraid
I could be VERY wrong.
Honestly, I look at past times of heroism — like “the greatest generation” and I marvel at what people sacrificed. Young men with their whole lives ahead of them, and they gave it all so that others could have a bright future.
SS and Medicare? It may be a that a generation has to lose all of that. We can’t afford it. Be a hero. Say goodbye to government payments. Yes, it’s a sacrifice. But better people have sacrificed more.
You touch on a major issue.
I’ve heard that about 80-85% of the federal budget is on automatic pilot. About 80-85% of the budget consist of :
Social Security,
Medicare,
Medicaid,
defense spending,
paying interest on the national debt.
The interest on the debt tends to keep increasing every year because the total debt keeps growing.
He should get a task force going to find illegals receiving federal benefits, and deporting them, never to return.
Agreed. Those programs combined have at least a hundred trillion in unfunded liabilities.
No chance.
Look, even on FR, most people are all for cuts until it is their turn.
I don’t comment on SS threads any more, because everyone wants to keep their SS, but cut everyone elses.
