Trump: "Social Security won't be touched, other than if there's fraud or something. It's going to be strengthened.
Medicare, Medicaid — none of that stuff is going to be touched.
Now, if there are illegal migrants in the system, we're going to get them out."
Thank you President Trump. I fear you will find more illegals than you can count.
Just like voter registration, there should be a regular audit and/or cleansing of rolls — with legitimate citizens given ample opportunity to easily re-register or confirm benefits.
Thank You, Mr. President!
Bless your sweet heart, President Trump! That would be awesome.
PING
“Social Security won’t be touched”
“Medicare, Medicaid — none of that stuff is going to be touched”
It is really good that President Trump is affirming that Social Security / Medicare / Medicaid won’t be touched because Democrats are desperately pushing the false narrative that DOGE’s work imperils Social Security / Medicare / Medicaid.
Thx
Understatement of the week. Padding SS and health care rolls goes back to that stinking Jorge Busho's first reign.
Off topic (Kinda), but weren’t they going to make an announcement this week putting names to all (or some) of the massive fraud found by DOGE?
I’ve been working all week, and may have missed any updates.
Get Them out!! Move them out!!!
Of course this is controversial for the leftists. They might even obtain private information on the criminals.
Let us have no illusions—all Americans over the age of 120 are going to suffer unfairly under this administration.
Lol.
Just don’t forget about the millions of 100+ year olds who are still getting SS checks. How about tracking down the folks who have been cashing those checks and make them pay it back?
AND THOSE ON WELFARE. THEY GET NOTHING
That should be every State, Doge every State voter registration.
any illegal found on social security, Medicaid or medicare should have all their assets seized.
I think he needs to create a chart that shows the current projection for when Social Security goes broke (as always, right on the day I’m scheduled to retire) and then another which shows the impact on getting these illegal deadbeats off the books (presumable a lot better). A visual ‘this extends if for another 10 years’ or whatever would be valuable to have whenever the dems accuse him of pushing granny off a cliff.
All those years we have been taunted with ‘Social Security won’t be available as it is running out of money’.
Whoever green lighted putting illegals on SS and disability needs to be dealt with - including taking away their SS to pay for what they helped criminals steal from America.
