Former President Donald Trump laid pressure on Republicans in Congress not to cut Medicare and Social Security.
Trump said the Washington bureaucrats should bear the pain of President Biden’s reckless spending on “left-wing lunacy,” not senior citizens.

However one might feel about Ponzi schemes, this is just smart politics.

The RATS will talk them into it so they won’t have to take the hit for screwing over the American seniors. The RINOs don’t mind. They’ll do it.
I agree with Trump about this.
“ However one might feel about Ponzi schemes”
A Ponzi scheme that is still operating and delivering payments after 90 years is not a Ponzi scheme.
How about instead of ‘cutting’ Social Security you limit people to getting out of it only what they’ve paid into it?
That means undoing all the leeches the Democrats attached to SS over the past sixty years.
Trump is right.
Political suicide for Rs.
Let the programs run their course.
If SS runs out of money, Gov has to cut benefits or raise taxes. Let the Ds make that choice. Rs vote Present.
“

That cuts peoples benefits. If you want the GOP to propose that, you must like Democrats winning elections.
If the Rats talk the GOP into reducing SS & Medicare benefits, you can rest assured that the Rats & the Rat controlled media WILL BLAME THE GOP and ignorant Americans will buy the lie!!
If you protect the contributions of workers and cut welfare payments to illegals and layabouts (who vote Democrat anyway) you’ll GAIN votes for the GOP.
Or just let it collapse. That works too.
It’s Trump’s way of sounding relevant.
Repukes trying to prove how conservative they are twist themselves into knots with this. He’s helping thr party by putting this position front and center
and who’s the genius that proposed said cuts???
So you have TDR or you are a paid DNC TROLL?
Do you forget what President Trump did for our country
while he was in office or the economy he created?
I laugh at you RINO pearl clutchers.So do 100 million Trump voters.
so, about halfway then?
Repukes ? Hmmm sounds awfully DU to me .....
Here, DIRTYSECRET...Just for you...

Yep, some Republicans promiscuously cozy up to Biden with his wanton spending, like Tom Cotton, always remember Tom Cotton, engaging in foreplay with McConnell, and then all of a sudden get Puritanical and want to make up the shortfall by cutting Social Security and Medicare?
