President Donald Trump's top economic advisor has given Democrats fresh ammunition for one of their most used midterm attacks.
Asked Monday if the Trump administration would address "entitlement reform," White House chief economic advisor Larry Kudlow said it will "probably" look at "larger entitlements" next year. Entitlement reform generally refers to changes or cuts to large government social programs such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid or food stamps.

Why this, now? Everything going well, economy, trade, market. Must we give Democrats election ammunition?

I don’t see the problem. We elected Trump to do this. And the hype here on SS is BS. Trump has stated repeatedly the he is going to not negatively touch SS. Stop running away from what Trump promised to do, it got him elected. And he’s doing it.

I literally just heard Trump in a couple recent speeches say he wasn’t going to do that. I’m not opposed if it’s done in a way that it improves the programs, but for God’s sake, don’t say that before a midterm.
Trump can correct this, though, pretty easily.

The problem is purely political.

Most people do not look at SS as an entitlement, most people think of an entitlement as welfare, food stamps, disability being used as unemployment ect. ect.

Kudlow just lost 3-4 seats with this steaming mess.

Keep in mind : talking to the media is like talking to the police, anything you say can and will be used against you, if he says even two words, CNBC will twist it and tack on their own meaning and extrapolate it out in to a propaganda bonanza.

The DemocRATS are going to say it anyway, but Trump nudges them Hard Far Far Left (where they really are) before the Election. It's what's different about Trump; he is actively pushing them instead of just reacting.
And you know what, it's the Moderate Voters who are coming on board in Droves because they don't like the DemocRATs going extreme.

I’d love to see some figures showing how many people are getting SS and Medicare who ever paid a dime into it.
I suspect a lot of older refugees are tossed on with hardly a thought to what it’s doing to solvency.

If he means cutting off entitlements for illegal aliens that is fine with me.

Trump has made the distinction between entitlements and earned benefits, specifically citing that Medicare and Social Security are earned benefits. Of course CNBC is lumping them both together as much as possible to blur them in the minds of the voters.
Medicare for All plans would actually expand Medicare benefits, not cut them.
They need to read Betsy McCaughey between chapters in The Liars' Manual.
