With a GOP majority, what will happen to Medicare and Social Security? (Congress, drug)

[FlatandFlat]

How come nobody ever says the Pentagon is "approaching insolvency"?

How many times did Trump have to say, he's not touching either one.

"Preserve Medicare for future generations. No changes to promised Social Security benefits." Sept 16, 2016

“They want to cut your social security, I'm not cutting your social security,” Trump said in Racine, Wisconsin, on April 2.

“We're gonna save your Social Security without making any cuts. Mark my words,” explained Trump. Donald Trump rallies in Valdosta Feb 29, 2016

"Don't cut Medicare; grow the economy to keep benefits." (Jun 2015)

"I will save Social Security with more jobs, less waste." (Feb 2016)

"I'll give up my Social Security; leave it to each person." (Sep 2015)

"Social Security isn't an "entitlement"; it's honoring a deal"

How many times did Trump say he is going to build a wall and Mexico will pay for it?

[censusdata]

Trump repeatedly said he will save SS by creating more wealth (thus tax revenue) rather than cutting benefits. He believes dumb govt policy is making America poorer than it should be.

The Republicans have been trying to hand over the SS trust to Wall Street for decades. They're foaming at the mouth now.

BOTH PARTIES have been raiding and robbing SS for a long time, especially during the Reagan years.

The baby boomers are the ones who funded SS for the politicians to rob later.

They need to pay up or suffer a fulminant instant death.

He's back pedaling on everything. He will on this too. He is no match for the sleazes in the GOP establishment.

Because brown people and commies are a bigger threat than unsafe water, food, and air.

Oh look, another progressive fear mongering talking point. Odd, haven't seen this one except for EVERY REPUBLICAN ELECTION WIN!
