Schultz has called for reducing the federal debt by targeting entitlement programs, but he’s been vague about the details. The two biggest entitlements are Social Security and Medicare.
Both of those programs are paid for with direct taxes. The only way you reduce federal debt with them is to reduce payouts and use the money to pay down the debt.

Schultz has not said to cut ss and medicare.. jeff stein the author from WAPO called them entitlement programs...which they are NOT
I have yet to hear CUT social security.... what I have hear is to reform social security by raising the age slightly, in order to sustain it
now yes some have suggested to privatize it (invest it)...not sure how I feel about that because of the additional risk
if you notice in my list, I did NOT mention SS
My problem with raising the SS age is that there is widespread age discrimination in the workforce. Unless there is some type of guaranteed jobs program for older workers SS should not be tampered with.
In reality yes, he is also looking to siphon off the anti-Trump and kinda sorta for Trump moderate Republicans. Sadly he is out of touch with the real Americans.
Schultz has spent FAR more time bashing Democrats than he has Trump. All part of his strategy that you mention.
Because one billionaire businessman failure is not enough.
We need to get Trump out of office ASAP, and definitely don’t need another independent spoiler running like Ralph Nader or someone like Gary Johnson! Independents, please stop running for President! You are hurting everyone!!
I'm pretty sure Schultz is a Russian agent. Think about all the Starbucks he has in Russian. In exchange, he's helping Putin keep Trump in office. I hope it's not too late for Mueller to investigate.

LOL, Maybe because there's a lot more to "bash". He's simply being honest about it.
