Before any cuts are made an honest and hard attempt to cut waste and fraud needs to be done.  Trump did mention attacking fraud in the link provided.

We will see when the current govt that got them prices so high  gets the heck out

Probably time to put some of the old timers out on the pack ice so society can thrive.

Seems like you are posting on the wrong forum.  It's the avian virus that is causing the spike in egg prices.

Yeah  just like they did last time 2016-2020....Oh wait 🤣

 

You lefties starting already with your sky is falling fear mongering....It didn't work during the election so don't get your hopes up now.

Although about your sky is falling predicament you could try wearing a helmet...here is one....😅

And it's a perfect fit.....for you.  Mania that freak show

I think's it's great, cut away.

I think the most used acronym in 2025 is FAFO … and the most used phrase will be “this is what you voted for”.

 

They’ll be interviewed on the TV vox pops lamenting “when Trump said that, I thought he meant others”.

Interesting. Are you stating that Trump did not, if fact, attempt to attack the ACÁ and were beaten back?

Too complicated for them to deal with and takes too long. They will go for the easier attacked social programs, denouncing them as “socialism”.

Considering the fact that Trump is an expert at committing fraud, you would think that that would give him some inside into how to fight fraud.

Most members of Congress would rather not do anything to hurt their chances of getting reelected.  That includes members of both parties.

I rather doubt there will be any drastic cuts anywhere.

Have you not run out of cheese yet I hear a lot of whine.

 

Consider that medicaid is being abused to aid illegals and people that snuck into the country.

Imposing tariffs generates tax revenue. 

 

Cutting taxes and regulations stimulates the economy and increases tax revenue. 

 

The US does not have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem.

Trump has got what he wants from the voters. A get out of jail free card. More opportunities to bilk taxpayers.

 

If you think he's not going to throw some of the people who voted for him under a bus, you are delusional.

 

Appointing a recovering heroin addict as his Health czar, what could go wrong?

“We’re gonna have to have some hard decisions. We’re gotta bring the Democrats in and talk about Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare,” McCormick said

A decision straight ot of the pages of Project 2025 and President elect Trump has been echoing the need to rein in "wasteful federal spending"in his campaign. From low-income monthly food benefits to Medicare; there will be significant spending cuts and major changes. Trump has boxed himself into a corner as he promised big tax cuts and reduce the deficits. Now that he tapped in Elon and Vivek, who are tasked with government wide cost cutting mission, the cuts in social spending is inevitable. The reduced federal contributions would affect millions of working class Americans who depend on these services. In Trump's mind, reduced federal spending will lower inflation.That's too simplistic just like how he define tariff. 

Only citizens should be eligible for social security, medicare, and medicaid. And being head of a household does not bring in non-citizen family members into any program.

Trumps first run $0  taken from SSA!

Trump second run , he campaigned on not cutting  SSA benefits!

 There is so many other ways of robbing Peter to give to Paul!
