I feel Americans can agree on 1 thing. We're sick of spending on endless war.

[alreadyforgot]

I love how they call Social security and medicare "entitlement" when you're literally forced through taxes to pay for it.
I guess we aren't entitled to wage increases or retirement or healthcare, or housing, or education....etc etc

[missbeehavin]

We have billions for foreign wars so fk these cuts

[uog]

"they have money for wars but can't feed the poor"

[jshaw]

Waste in Social Security, Medicare? What about in Defense?

[burtmacklinfbi]

how is the obvious answer not ALWAYS to cut military spending?

[truthstarved]

Rather telling that after two decades of privatization of public services, Trump is speaking of administrative waste. The single biggest drain on Medicare and medicaid is corporate over-billing.

Social Security is not an entitlement. Its financed by Social Security tax from your wages.

[furlycee]

Between this and Israel, we have to stop saying Trump is "politically astute". He says something politically disastrous half the time meaning he could literally be flipping a coin for what to believe for all we know.

[timothystrathman]

Trump was "politically astute" in 2016 like an idiot savant... He ran a horrible campaign in 2020 and is looking like he's doing the same now... Surrounded by Republican insiders, he has taken on their thought which is highly unpopular

[VoltLives]

If they cut social security well then congratulations you will have finally motivated people to march and protest big time. They have raised generations to count on that as their retirement and to have that pulled from underneath them will make some think they have nothing to lose.

[stevena.]

Someone will eventually come out and close the line and tell us sorry there's no more Soc.Sec. Then the mob will delete them.

[rossderer]

Cutting social security is such a ludicrous idea. Not only does it provide an income for those who CANNOT work any longer, we've all paid into this our whole lives and we're not going to get anything back!?

[codbdup]

Raise taxes on ultra wealth and corporations, ban stock buy backs and close the tax loopholes for the wealthy.

[jedison]

How it is not clear that Trump just talks and has no clue about what he is talking about most the time.

[jamesmartin-lbbr]

It's not an "entitlement" when you have paid into it for decades. This terminology is an insidious ploy that has been used for decades and needs to be called out.

[djangokill]

Lift the cap on Social Security contributions.

[ln]

We pay for social security - it is not an entitlement!

[AaronJL]

I love how Saagar simultaneously calls Trump "politically astute" and incompetent. 😂😂😂

[Likwidfox]

When 30% of your income goes to taxes are they really 'Entitlements". As an American citizen what does my money get me?
