Summary
At the first meeting of the DOGE Caucus, a new congressional group focused on government efficiency, Republican Rep. Greg Lopez stated that cuts to Social Security and Medicare are likely “on the table” as part of debt reduction efforts.
The caucus, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, aims to slash government spending, raising concerns among advocacy groups about potential attacks on anti-poverty programs.
Critics, including Social Security Works, warn the caucus may push for privatization and benefit reductions.
This comes despite Trump’s prior commitment to protect these programs.
Remember, we fucking paid for social security. It’s not government pork. It’s ours.
No, it’s theirs. They’re going to take it and we’re just going to let them because we are cowards.
You, me, the next guy that posts a meme, complete and total cowards who are going to bend over and let him fuck us.
Y’all let it get this far, are you waiting on something? Bend over, then.
Up, it has a surplus. Government ‘borrows’ from the pool to pay for stuff. When they say they’re making cuts, what they mean is they don’t intend to pay the debt.
