Mitch McConnell Calls to Cut Social Security Medicare

Mitch McConnell Calls to Cut Social Security, Medicare

I warned you that this was coming. All the Republicans want to do is take from the middle class and poor and give to the rich. After a huge budget deficit INCREASE in Trump's first full fiscal year due to the tax cut for the rich now they want to cut Social Security and Medicare. Of course they do.

After instituting a $1.5 trillion tax cut and signing off on a $675 billion budget for the Department of Defense, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that the only way to lower the record-high federal deficit would be to cut entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

"It’s disappointing but it’s not a Republican problem," McConnell said of the deficit, which grew 17 percent to $779 billion in fiscal year 2018. McConnell explained to Bloomberg that "it’s a bipartisan problem: Unwillingness to address the real drivers of the debt by doing anything to adjust those programs to the demographics of America in the future." The deficit has increased 77 percent since McConnell became majority leader in 2015.

McConnell like Trump is an inveterate liar. Not a Republican problem? What a joke. This is directly due to the ill-advised tax cut for the rich.
