Right. Cut out the unnecessary pork spending

[bonnievann]

No one who isn't a Citizen should be receiving any of our benefits before the AMERICAN PEOPLE.

[danjustthinking]

Wouldn’t that be something if our benefit money was actually physically there, gaining interest for us? What a concept!

[brendajettjohnson]

No vacation for The Senate or Congress unless it’s OK by the people!

[laurensweitzer]

It better be preserved or many of us will be homeless.

[carolyn]

You need to pay in to receive these programs. Those who hold down jobs and pay into the system ate entitled to it.

[karensobonya]

Social security I worked for my ENTIRE WORKING LIFE. It is NOT a BENEFIT.

[charliehos]

Cut the consumer prices on fuel, food and utilities = we all get a RAISE!

[rakatufo]

Finally. Tired of seen our hard spending dollars going everywhere except to us here in the States

[yzucwfw]

When you start messing with social security, you better have a refund plan set up. I have contributed since 14 years old. I have been steadily employed. So I don't want to hear anything about the money that's due to me.🤨🤨

[davescheer]

The SS system would of been just fine if government would stop using it as their personal piggy bank ! Make it that no SS funds get used for nothing except SS payments, and all payments put in to system that were taken by the government for other things gets restored, and COLA is brought up to date .

[Tuber]

Finally a party looking out for the American people. Stop overspending.

[noelpacheco]

Social Security is not government money. It's not government spending. It's funds that the American people actually pay into from their hard earned wages for THEIR future Security.

[howlingwaters]

FRAUD, WASTE, ABUSE! Keep an eye open! My PT practice billed Insurance $800 for a TENS stim unit you can buy for <50.00!

[edwinasubramany]

GOD 🛐Bless n guide help in all the hard work ahead of New Government 🙏🇦🇺

[ritatharp]

Why don't you start by cutting drag shows in Ecuador, or cut the new NFL stadium, not everyone is into football !

[jamescraig]

And quit stealing money from our retirement funds we donate our money to.

[sleepygirl]

Hands off Social Security and Medicare!!!

[mirandamarion]

EBT, we are cutting billions annually.

[juanitagonzalez]

Thank you . The others need to be cut that are not legal .
