Trump said he'll make government more efficient, that he won't cut services (he'll cut waste).

Trump will be a better manager of Big Government and Subsidies [the winners and losers].

EPA/Education: "No, I'm not cutting services, but I'm cutting spending. But I may cut Department of Education (Common Core)"...

(Common Core, by the way, isn't a federal mandate: and he will leave in place EPA services - as in dictates?)

See how Trump massages his position?

Jan 19, 2016: Trump calls for higher ethanol mandate

Donald Trump said Tuesday that federal regulators should increase the amount of ethanol blended into the nation's gasoline supply.

Speaking at an event hosted by the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association, Trump, a real estate mogul and the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, said the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ought to follow the ethanol volumes Congress set in 2007.

"The EPA should ensure that biofuel... blend levels match the statutory level set by Congress under the [renewable fuel standard]," Trump said........"

October 2015 - Trump isn't going to GUT the EPA, he's going to make it more efficient ..."I'm not cutting services, but I'm cutting spending,", Trump told Wallace... [but the headline claims] Trump Vows To Cut 'Disgraceful' EPA .

Donald Trump said he was not going to take away my social security. No one else has said that.

Trump as POTUS doesn't control, only influence, what happens to the SS administration, he only get to veto or approve congressional legislative...

Also, I don't think ANYONE said they are taking away your SS, (sounds like a dem talking point), but I digress...

At some point SS will need to be changed and address the fraud, I seriously doubt anyone over say 50 years old will have their benefits adjusted down...

Your SS WILL be paid in full.

Unfortunately it will be paid in dollars with asymptotically reducing purchasing power.

The US needs a President who will help remove the Govt-imposed burdens on wealth-production in the US. Even then - even if the US got a new Reagan - it’s going to take time to reverse the ravages of years.

Trump and Cruz both look far better on reducing the dead hand of Govt than any other candidate. One of those two must become President - or the US becomes Venezuela with aircraft carriers.

Excellent point! Did he tell you how he was going to do that? Social Security is basically broke, and has been on that track for 25 years. Every Congress and President has mostly just kicked the can down the road.

I could go into greater detail on the best solution for the problem, but I just remembered: This thread has nothing to do with Social Security.

I appreciate your pro-Trump sentiment, but him "saving Social Security" won't do you a bit of good if the Chinese are administering the fund amongst the smouldering ruins of this country.

National Security is pretty important, too. Give the 10 to 15 year lead time it takes to implement major weapon systems, and the fact that the world has become a high threat zone on every continent, I'd like to know - in detail - what the candidates will do to rebuild and improve the US military's fighting capability.

FReegards!
