Its always got to be SS and medicare. Never welfare or foreign “aid”. Enough with the scare tactics. We pay directly into SS and medicare as an investment (sort of) whereas the other programs are simply gifts to less productive voters.

If they were serious about reforming SS they would first get it out of the general fund and back in its own accounts and at least let it draw interest. If they had never thrown it in the general fund the interest on all that money would have been astronomical.

I appreciate your sentiments, but Social Security and Medicare is where the money (deficit) is at. Both programs are ponzi schemes and the money we paid into the programs has been spent ten times over by Congress. Rubio's statement may be political suicide, but it is the brutal truth.
