Trump's tax cuts include huge cuts in Medicare besides the Medicaid cuts.

Guess who loses with Trump's tax plan? (opinion) - CNN

Did you read these lines or is your hate for Trump blind?

"So some seniors may see both their Medicaid and Medicare benefits slashed."
"The good news is that the Senate budget passed Thursday is only a blueprint for tax reform."

And an article from CNN I am sure will be totally unbiased and honest.

And didn't your idol steal some from Medicare?

"A blueprint for tax reform". Sure, why not cut from the average person and give to the ultra rich?

I don't care who cuts Medicare (the mod moved this to "politics" from the retirement health care forum which is where I posted it)- we would all suffer- including you- whether now or eventually. To me, this is not politics, it's health!!

PS if you think The Daily Signal is unbiased, you are much mistaken. Look it up. It is as biased as they come.

The GOP platform is to serve the rich and screw the poor, old, and sick, so this kind of thing is already expected with anything they do.

It seems you know where the cuts are going to be inside of Medicare... I would like to know how you will suffer exactly? Are your premiums going up? Is your coverage getting less? What exactly? Or are you exploding into tantrums without even understanding what is happening? Obama cut 700 billion for Obamacare, have you noticed it in your medicare benefits? Or are you falling for liberal rhetoric.... again....

The standard liberal whine of tax cuts for the rich meme.

Just like the the term racism, overused and untrue.

The rich pay millions in federal tax while 45% of America pays nothing. But yeah it's the rich who are screwing everyone. Grow up.

They are the same that take (in the form of benefits) from the federal government. So we reduce their benefits. They are still taking money out of the pockets of others, but less so.

How about no more junk food / soda on food stamps! Soda is the #1 food stamp purchase. That's got to stop.
