just like i told you trump calling for cuts to medicare - right after huge tax cuts for billionaires

[dherd]

The plan contains at least $1.8 trillion in cuts to federal entitlement programs such as Medicaid, Medicare and food stamps.


the White House plan would add $7 trillion to the deficit

President Trump sent Congress a $4.4 trillion budgetproposal

Mr. Trump, who as a businessman once called himself the “king of debt” and has overseen a federal spending spree that will earn him that title in an entirely different arena.

The White House budget request would add $984 billion to the federal deficit next year, despite proposed cuts to programs like Medicare and food stamps and despite leaner budgets across federal agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency.

Does anybody on this board actually think our entitlement programs are sustainable? If not, what is your solution to fix it? If so, why is it sustainable?

Only in the idiot liberal world does an increase in domestic spending, increasing the federal budget to over $4T...equal a "cut" (in anything).

Removing the cap for social security would take care of that problem.

What part of the word MEDICARE was too hard to understand?

Really? Explain the numbers.

"New payroll tax revenue could close the gap by anywhere from 28 percent to 90 percent, depending on the cap’s height and to what extent the new revenue is used to boost payouts to high-income households."

What part of baseline budgeting do you not understand moron? Total federal spending on these programs is still going to grow under the proposal.

There simply is no “Cut”.

"President Donald Trump will propose cutting entitlement programs by $1.7 trillion, including Medicare, in a fiscal 2019 budget that seeks billions of dollars to build a border wall, improve veterans’ health care and combat opioid abuse and that is likely to be all but ignored by Congress."

Right there it is in black and white.

IDIOT!

You still don't understand baseline budgeting do you? What will the total Federal spending be on Medicare in the next 10 years. Compared to now???

You're a tool who doesn't have the ability to analyze the "black and white".

You probably think Medicaid is going to be cut too, huh?
