I can already hear the screaming.

Great news. Sure throws water on the navy ship story. Trump’s brilliant period.

I wish.

I don’t receive entitlements but I am forced to pay for them for others. I don’t even get to choose to whom I give charity. It is forcibly stolen from me and given to those chosen by government.

The source tells me there'll be an "emphasis on work requirements for able-bodied people" to save money on these social welfare programs.

That'll make the "never-worker's" heads explode!

I have a problem with describing Social Security & Medicare as entitlements seeing I paid into them for almost 60 years.

Congress will change those cuts to little or nothing is my prediction.

Another way to reduce the budget:

Reduce the number of weeks one can receive unemployment money back to the 26 weeks it was for years!

The libs are already inking up the boo-hoo presses. Expect to drown in stories of starving crippled children and whip-wielding overseers flogging a new generation of welfare slaves.

>>>Trump budget to slash entitlements by $1.7 trillion!

Which is exactly why it will never happen. So...I'm not sure what the excitement is for. The democrats will not go for it...and all they need is 22ish spineless republicans...and this is toast. The swamp is never going to go for it and the GOP is not going to shut the government down to support it.

This is DOA. Not being a debbie-downer...just being a realist. If anyone wants to make a wager...I'm game...have your pay-pal ready.

The $1.7 trillion in costs are over ten years. Are $170 billion per year in cuts enough to offset the planned increases in spending for Defense, Infrastructure, and Child Care and still balance the budget?

What is needed is a plan to get people sliding scale off SNAP and whatever welfare program they are on...scaled so if you get 10 hrs a week job, you lose part not all...the Dems set it up so you lose all which is an incentive to never get a job.

Trump should tout dignity of work and ownership...how many in congress don’t simply want their vote and dependence...

A Tweet like that would surely leave a mark!!!

Also reform WITHIN the HHS infrastructure to reward with bonuses when a “client” gets a job and gets off a roll!

Dare we hope that the rampant corruption in such programs such as the Earned Income Credit scam, Medicare, and food stamp/EBT cards will be stopped, or at least greatly controlled? Hundreds of billions of tax dollars cannot be accounted for and no administrators are indicted for malfeasance and gross negligence. We are sick of it.

Social Security . . . This is NOT an entitlement . . . I'm getting sick and tired of this being lumped in with entitlements!
