Did he mention that Social Security is the only federal program in the black despite the fact that the feds have stolen from it over the years to build their bloated bureaucracy dumping every welfare recipient they can into it while pumping $85 billion/month into Wall Street???

I didn’t think so —

Not even Social Security is "in the black". While it currently takes in more per month than it disburses, the excess is spent in the general fund.

When taken as a whole Social Security is at least 2.2 Trillion in the red.

Social Security has been running a deficit since 2010.

Social Security is an income re-distribution in the same vein as Obamacare.
