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.
Someone needs to share this news with @BigMacHole@lemm.ee
well i guess it’s a good thing nobody really needed that Social Security anyways /s
i’m impressed over and over again what kind of mental flexibility allows people to call themselves “followers of jesus” and then implement such regulations.
WHUT? I thought Trump was just going to kick out all the illegals and fuck over China! No one told me there would be DOMESTIC consequences!! Why didn’t anyone warn me? At all his rallies he said the next 4 years would be awesome. Now I’m starting to think I was misled!
Bahahahahaha.
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.
