One of Trump’s biggest mistakes was saying he wouldn’t make any cuts to entitlements. Of course that’s most of the budget. You can’t address the budget deficit and debt unless you tackle social security, medicare and medicaid. It’s tough though because anyone who says they will cut it will get killed, yet it has to be done.
Giving the debt a haircut will of course hit social security the most.
Healthcare is close behind entitlement spending as a percentage of gdp and is inflating at a higher annual rate. take care of healthcare reducing it to align with other 1st world counties and we may have a chance to take care of the other problems.
