Aren’t they talking about raising the beginning eligibility age to 70. So unlike now you couldn’t start Social Security until you turn 70. That would be a 100 percent cut for everyone under 70, because they couldn’t claim any level of benefits unlike now.
Even if they’re only raising full retirement age to 70, it’s still a cut in what people could receive if claiming early
So this would be a cut in Sociak Security. And only blindfolded partisans can deny that. A cut is a cut.
Meanwhile, no cuts in foreign aid. And GOP establishment members of Congress routinely vote for bigger military budgets than the Pentagon even asks for. With literally hundreds of bases around the world. Troops stationed in more countries than Rome under the imperial Caesars. It appears the tradeoff for empire is cuts in programs for Americans. And the GOP is fine with that - except for Trump, which is why they hate him
Its just the stupid party being stupid.
There is minimal support for these proposals even among the republican base.
You are correct, Trump supported strengthening SS and Medicare and its another reason why they hate him.
