Summary
At the first meeting of the DOGE Caucus, a new congressional group focused on government efficiency, Republican Rep. Greg Lopez stated that cuts to Social Security and Medicare are likely “on the table” as part of debt reduction efforts.
The caucus, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, aims to slash government spending, raising concerns among advocacy groups about potential attacks on anti-poverty programs.
Critics, including Social Security Works, warn the caucus may push for privatization and benefit reductions.
This comes despite Trump’s prior commitment to protect these programs.
No there the fuck will not be cuts to either thing.
Bring it, bitches. It’s high time we face the consequences of our collective stupidity.
My stance. We voted for this. Let them do it. Get it over with. Let it all burn
OK, but we have to make it absolutely crystal clear who is doing this, who it’s hurting, and who is benefiting. That’s why reporting like this is important.
Trump just won an election by blaming democrats for Trump’s own terrible economy.
People have no idea how the government works and they’re not taught that for a reason. Most people also have very short memories and do not understand that most legislation takes years to take effect. They only remember what they are currently being told and the more times it is repeated the more effective the propaganda.
Sure sure. I’m game for moving social security, but now how about you give back all the fucking money I put in it WITH interest since ya know… Inflation.
I know a lot of bitter Boomers with bad health and nothing to lose, this could be an interesting year.
When it comes to intelligence, standard deviation applies evenly to all age demographic. You ageist asshole.
