    McConnell Calls For Cutting Government Programs To Deal With 'Disturbing' Debt

    Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) called on Congress to rein in major government programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security in order to slow America’s spiraling national debt on Tuesday, ignoring the fact the tax plan he recently passed has further grown that number.


    “It’s very disturbing, and it’s driven by the three big en lement programs that are very popular: Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid. That’s 70 percent of what we spend every year,” he said on Bloomberg News Tuesday when asked about the national debt. “There’s been a bipartisan reluctance to tackle en lement changes because of the popularity of those programs. Hopefully at some point here we’ll get serious about this. We haven’t been yet.

    dumb Democrats will bargain over the size of the cuts, straight up socialists will continue to pick them off them at the polls.

    before too long they'll start picking off Republicans too.

    you thought Obama was bad, just wait.

    Dems, love Social Security, Medicare for all, a living wage, spending on education, infrastructure, protecting a woman's right to choice, and protecting women and minority rights...those are the things they need to play up going into 2020....heres where I would go...
