[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.) said Tuesday that lawmakers will ultimately face tough choices on spending in next year’s unified GOP government, suggesting cuts may be coming to social welfare programs

We’re going to have to have some hard decisions. We got to bring the Democrats in to talk about Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare. There’s hundreds of billions of dollars to be saved, and we know how to do it, we just have to have the stomach to actually take those challenges on,” McCormick told Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo[/quote]

This will be fun to watch because at the same time congressional republicans are cutting these benefits they will be giving tax breaks the rich. You know they will also go after the VA and veterans’ disability. [/quote]

We’ll see, considering Trump’s a populist and not a conservative—I doubt it. Especially given how turbulent and vast the spectrum of views are in the house.

But if it does happen, this will be the death knell of the GOP.

If these kinds of cuts were what people wanted, anyone other than Trump would have won in the primaries. And down-ballot republicans would have done better than him. Instead the opposite is true.

If you’re a vindictive Democrat this is exactly what you’d want to see happen though, because it would destroy the GOP. I say this as a first time Trump voter that will never, ever, EVER vote for another Federal Republican candidate (house, senate, or president). If they cut any of these programs.

Narrator: they are going to try and they will be successful on some parts, like means testing social security. What they won't do, and should, is lift the caps on the fee paid annually on income. Someone making $400,000 shouldn't be paying the same amount as Elon.[/quote]

I am the PP you responded to and wholeheartedly agree. Get rid of the cap on taxed wages for SS. [/quote]
