Trump Hits Third Rail: Trump vows to cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid

[Millennial_Messiah]

Medicaid I agree with, but the other two are third rail issues, worse than promising a 1-day federal abortion ban.... man he messed up today:

Cutting waste.

This is about as serious as his vow to change health care.

"who ever knew health care would be so difficult"

Promises made, lies carried out. Thats what he does.

If he said this (BLACKED) that's a problemPERIOD

“There is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in terms of cutting and in terms of also the theft and the bad management of entitlements,” Trump said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

Either take it back, in plain-spoken-English, or, live with it.

It could single handedly lose him Arizona and narrow up the Florida margin from safe to low likely or high lean.

Major anathema especially in the geriatric heavy sun belt. Don't know Georgia's age demographics as well but have to believe that a lot of the population downstate from Atlanta is fairly older as well. Also, the "half-backs" in the Carolinas. Nevada has a pretty substantial older population as well. Just bad overall in the sun belt.

He may have miss-spoke, hope/hope. The problem is he is not willing to stipulate to being wrong out loud in the broad daylight. If he tries to brazen this out it would/will be a disaster.

***And what (they'll)(the other side including MSM) is let it rest, withdraw (it) from their output, drawing him into shallow water and give him a sense of well-being...that's it's okay. That's it over. It ain't okay. It ain't over.

No, Dumper is correct to lodge the challenge, clammy. Did he mean it, or, did he let his mouth overload his ass in his current state of euphoria? He's a child at heart. It's an easy task to clear it up. March to a live microphone and either disown it..."I miss-spoke and did not mean to say "cut." I will never cut Medicare, Medicaid, or SS. I swear to God here and now, so help me God." And it'll go away.

OR, "I have no choice. I believe these cuts are in order to..."blah, blah, blah." It won't matter (why) whatsoever.

And we'll go on. But if he thinks he can go watch repeats of "The 3 Stooges" and chow down on take-out and it'll go away, he's wrong. [They'll] stow it away quickly and bomb him with it some day soon.

I haven't watched a full basketball game since 2017, either... and no, the point didn't go over my head... I talk politics a lot for sure but I don't actually vote, what's wrong with that?

I was a fan of the Spurs from 1997 to 2017, I just stick around because it's something to do when bored. And I'm a millennial and I do message boards not tweets or instagrams or whatever gen Z does these days in lieu of message boards.

As for the voting thing. I had a last name change in 2013 which coincided with when I started college out of town, and just never really bothered to get the voting thing changed over too. Plus, it seems like a lot of work. I don't like hard work.

If that happened, I'd get a sex change. Rather look at titties and not get dicked down.

I'm no Trump supporter but I am capable of reading. Nowhere in that article did it say he was advocating cutting social security or medicare benefits. In fact, it said the exact opposite.

[pgardn]

It also says he will rebuild the greatest economy. Like it is not now?

So in terms of personal wealth I guess Trump plans to figure out why the disparity in personal wealth is so huge and fix that.
Sounds like he said he would fix health care. And he had nothing. Or maybe he will cut federal jobs like with the IRS so it becomes easier to cheat. That sounds about right. Cheating made easy.
Except dont dare let poor people cheat. Given Trump's background, cheating on taxes made easier has to be a number one objective.

he was vague

said he is cutting “entitlements”
which is GOP speak for

anything that helps regular people

they dont think two trillion gifted to the mega rich is an entitlement or socialism or charity

they just re-direct our tax money up to their donors

poor people, working class programs = entitlements

You know Yam Tits has no plan.

He will just fling shit to see what sticks, like work requirement for everyone, drug testing, reducing benefits for everyone not at poverty level, reducing benefits for young workers, and reducing taxes for rich as an incentive for poor to work harder.

For rich people, LLCs, and businesses especially big businesses of course. But definitely not poor people, black people, or the middle class/ working class. They'll still get audited and have to pay back plus interest if they do shenanigans with the IRS.

Did you know that the top 5 most IRS-audited counties are all in black-majority counties in the Mississippi Delta in Mississippi? True fact. And the top 10 counties for IRS auditing are all in black-majority, relatively low population counties in the South:

It's no secret the government steals the most from the poorest communities and it's been going on for decades. Meanwhile big businesses and corporations and the oligopolies pay next to nothing after myriad tax breaks and loopholes galore and we're expected to think it's okay.

The biggest bugaboos are (a) massive inflation since 2019 which has not yet fully returned to earth, (b) the massive $30T+ deficit, which has increased in every presidency since Carter I believe [but was worst in Bush and Obama years and in 2020 specifically], and (c) the housing affordability crisis.

And the longer Trump waits to correct this, if that is his intent (((to cut OR to not cut))) the more difficult it will become. In the interim we may forget, but CNN ain't a gonna forget for all the rice in China.

We got money comin' out of our wazoo, aka our printing press. We can print it just as well for us as them. This whole fuckin' thing with Putin/Russia and the Nazi's/Ukraine was and continues to be a huge eye opener for us all. & everyone knows it.

[Millennial_Messiah]

So you support universal health care?

Yes.

Quit funding Ukraine, cut military, Israel, and foreign intervention funding by 50%, axe Obamacare and Medicaid/CHIP, end foreign aid as a whole, axe TANF, stop giving NATO money, and you'll have the money to install universal healthcare like they have in the Nordic countries as well as guarding the southern border like North Korea does with the DMZ. Also, non US Citizens working in the USA, including those I.T. Indians making WAY too much money, should be charged a 70% income tax, no exceptions.

Modern populist conservatives like myself and Dale lean much more national socialist rather than the old-guard GOP of free trade and capitalism-uber-alles.

Outside of descendants of slaves and American Indians the only reason it's diverse is because of woke leftists like LBJ letting in filthy turd-world scum freeloading, mooching refugapes from all over the shitass third world because "muh hum00nity".

The "Muh Hum00nity" argument is a radical leftist, Marxist talking point. It's more obnoxious than Muh Dem00cracy, tbh.

I believe the most common sense style government is a right-wing populistic, nationalist government with an elected legislative branch (house and senate) and an appointed but not elected, potential family-passed-down executive (presidential) branch. Do away with elections regarding Article II. The article III stuff can stay. Limited power for the unelected fourth branch. And a common sense approach is Third Reich Germany style common sense national populism but instead of scapegoating our own citizens, the immigrants and foreign nationals should be scapegoated.
