Trump WILL Cut Social Security, Medicare, And Medicaid

NOW THAT THE GOP HAS SUCCEEDED IN PASSING MAJOR TAX
CUTS FOR THE WEALTHIEST PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY AND CORPORATIONS,
THEY WILL MOVE ON TO WELFARE REFORM.
ONE OF THE REASONS YOU
SHOULD EXPECT IT IS BECAUSE RYAN, PAUL RYAN, IT'S SENATOR
PAUL RYAN --
>>NO, HOUSE SPEAKER PAUL RYAN.
>>SPEAKER RYAN HAS BEEN FORTHCOMING ABOUT THEIR PLANS TO
CUT FUNDING FOR PROGRAMS LIKE MEDICARE, MEDICAID, AND SOCIAL
SECURITY.
HERE HE IS ON FOX NEWS MAKING THAT CLEAR.
>>JUST SO YOU KNOW THE HOUSE HAS PASSED ALL OF THESE BILLS, THE
HOUSE PASSED THE BIGGEST ENTITLEMENT REFORM BILL EVER
PASSED BY CONGRESS IN MAY, OUR HEALTHCARE BILL.
UNFORTUNATELY
THE SENATE FELL BASICALLY A VOTE SHORT FROM DOING THAT.
SO IN
2018 WE WILL GET BACK TO WELFARE REFORM, ANOTHER BIG ENTITLEMENT
PROGRAM, WHERE WE BASICALLY PAY ABLE-BODIED PEOPLE NOT TO WORK
AND WE ARE DEPRIVING THEM WITH ALL THESE DISINCENTIVES FROM
GOING TO THE WORKFORCE.
THE ECONOMY WE WILL GET OUT OF THIS
WILL PRODUCE HIGHER WAGES AND MORE DEMAND FOR GOOD PAYING JOBS
AND IT'S THE PERFECT TIME TO DO WELFARE REFORM.
>>DEMOCRATS THINK THAT WILL HELP THEM IN 2018.
>>THEY THINK CUTTING TAXES IS BAD TOO.
>>DEMOCRATS ARE UP 11 IN-HOUSE RACES IF YOU PICK A DEMOCRAT OR
REPUBLICAN, HOW WILL YOU TACKLE THESE THINGS AND STILL MAINTAIN
YOUR MAJORITY?
>>I'LL TAKE RESULTS OVER RHETORIC ANY DAY OF THE YEAR, OF
THE MONTH.
>>HE IS VERY HONEST ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY WANT WELFARE
REFORM AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE GOP HAPPENED CLEAR ABOUT THAT AS
WELL.
NOW, HERE'S THE ISSUE.
WHAT THAT FOX NEWS HOST SAID
ABOUT DEMOCRATS LOOKING FORWARD TO THEM TAKING THAT ON IS TRUE
BECAUSE SEVERAL POLLS HAVE INDICATED THAT THE AMERICAN
PUBLIC DOES NOT WANT CUTS TO THESE PROGRAMS, AND I'M NOT JUST
TALKING ABOUT LIBERALS, NOT JUST DEMOCRATS, I'M TALKING ABOUT
AMERICANS IN GENERAL.
ONE OF THE MORE RECENT POLLS WAS DONE BY
THE KAISER FAMILY FOUNDATION AND THE RESULTS TO BE HONEST WITH
YOU SURPRISED ME, SO LET'S GET RIGHT TO IT --
>>ONLY 12% OF AMERICAN ADULTS.
>>LET ME PAUSE BECAUSE THAT'S SUCH AN AMAZING NUMBER.
MEDICARE
AND SOCIAL SECURITY YOU PAY INTO, THAT'S WHY THEY ARE CALLED
ENTITLEMENTS, BECAUSE YOU ARE ENTITLED TO THEM, IT'S YOUR GOD
DAMN MONEY.
MEDICAID IS FOR THE POOR.
SO I WANT TO APPLAUD AND
CELEBRATE THE DECENCY OF THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF
AMERICANS WHO SAY EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T GO TO MOST OF US, IT
GOES TO THE POOR, I DON'T WANT YOU TO CUT IT.
THAT'S GREAT
NEWS.
SO THESE GUYS, THESE REPUBLICANS, THINK WE WILL TRICK
THEM ON EVERYTHING, WE SAID THE TAX CUTS WOULDN'T GO TO THE
RICH, ALMOST ALL OF THEM GO TO THE RICH.
NOW WE'LL CUT THEIR
MEDICARE AND MEDICAID.
YOU WANT TO TRICK THEM ON THAT, IT WOULD
BE DEEPLY UNPOPULAR.
>>I'M ABOUT TO SAY SOMETHING THAT MY OWN TAKE AND MY OWN
SPECULATION, I DON'T HAVE THE DATA IN FRONT OF ME SO TAKE IT
WITH A GRAIN OF SALT, BUT I ACTUALLY THINK THAT THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE SAYING NO, DON'T CUT THIS, WE WANT TO MAINTAIN THE
FUNDING FOR IT, OR PEOPLE WHO AT SOME POINT IN THEIR LIVES
PROBABLY NEEDED TO RELY ON MEDICAID.
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
INCOME INEQUALITY IN THE COUNTRY, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
THAT GROWING GAP BETWEEN THE RICH AND POOR, I KNOW I
PERSONALLY KNOW PEOPLE WHO IDENTIFY AS CONSERVATIVE
REPUBLICANS WHO HAVE RELIED ON MEDICAID DURING HARD TIMES AND
ACTUALLY SAID THEY LOVE THE PROGRAM, AND FOR SOME REASON
HAVE THIS WEIRD COGNITIVE DISSONANCE WHERE THEY DON'T
REALIZE, HEY, THE PARTY YOU KEEP VOTING FOR WANTS TO CUT IT.
BUT
NONETHELESS, I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO RELY ON IT,
SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY THEY WANT TO KEEP IT.
>>YOU'RE RIGHT, AND A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF AMERICANS HAVE
EITHER DONE IT OR KNOW PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE IT, ESPECIALLY
BECAUSE LIKE YOU SAID THE SUPPRESSED WAGES, ETC., BUT WHEN
YOU GET MORE INTO THE NUMBERS YOU SEE IT'S NOT JUST A
DEMOCRATIC THING AND IT'S NOT JUST PEOPLE WHO HAVE USED
MEDICAID BECAUSE THE NUMBERS ARE TOO LARGE.
>>LET'S GIVE YOU SOME MORE NUMBERS FROM THIS PARTICULAR
SURVEY --
>>SO MOST AMERICANS WANT THE FUNDING TO REMAIN THE SAME AND
SOME PORTION OF THE COUNTRY, 4 OUT OF 10, WANT MORE FUNDING
FOR MEDICAID.
>>WHEN THEY GO TO CUT MEDICAID AND ONLY 12% APPROVE, THAT
CATCHES UP TO YOU.
I KNOW THEY WILL HAVE MORE MONEY IN THE
CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS, REPUBLICANS USUALLY DO, ALTHOUGH
NOW SMALL DONORS FOR DEMOCRATS ARE OVERPOWERING THE ONES FOR
REPUBLICANS, AND IN THESE SPECIAL ELECTIONS, ESPECIALLY
VIRGINIA, SMALL DONORS MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE FOR DEMOCRATS.
THEY CAN TRICK PEOPLE TO NO END BUT IF THEY HAVE USED A
GOVERNMENT PROGRAM AND IT'S NOT THEORETICAL, MAYBE THEY DON'T
SEE THE TRILLIONS AND TAX CUTS GOING TO THE RICH, BUT THEY KNOW
SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICAID IN THEIR OWN LIFE AND THAT'S WHAT
LEADS TO EVEN REPUBLICANS THINKING IT WOULD BE A TERRIBLE
IDEA TO CUT MEDICAID.
>>LET'S FOCUS ON REPUBLICANS SPECIFICALLY, AND THIS IS YET
ANOTHER POLL THAT PEW RESEARCH DID THAT SURPRISED AND SHOCKED
ME --
>>SO MOST REPUBLICANS DO NOT WANT CUTS TO MEDICARE, THEY
DON'T WANT CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY, AND SPEAKER RYAN IS
RIGHT THERE SAYING CLEARLY AND TRANSPARENTLY THAT THAT IS WHAT
THEY'RE GOING TO TARGET, THEIR GOING TO TARGET ENTITLEMENT
REFORMS.
AND BY THE WAY, I DIDN'T MISS THE FACT THAT HE
SAID OH, THESE ARE ABLE-BODIED PEOPLE TAKING ADVANTAGE.
MOST
PEOPLE WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PROGRAMS LIKE MEDICAID ARE POOR,
THEY HAVE TO QUALIFY FOR IT, ALSO SOCIAL SECURITY AND
MEDICARE, AGAIN, IT'S AN ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM BECAUSE WE
HAVE PAID INTO IT.
PEOPLE WHO GET TO A CERTAIN AGE IN THEIR
LIVES SHOULD BE ABLE TO RECEIVE THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS
WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT GOONS LIKE YOU CUTTING IT.
>>THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ABOVE 65 VOTED FOR TRUMP, IF HE
GOES TO CUT THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE THERE WILL
BE A HEAVY PRICE TO PAY.
THOSE PROGRAMS ARE SO DEEPLY POPULAR
AND THEY KEEP PEOPLE AFLOAT, KEEP THEM ALIVE.
THAT IS A
TERRIBLE POLITICAL MISTAKE THAT I HOPE THEY MAKE, I HOPE THEY
DON'T SUCCEED, THAT THEY TRY IT AND THEY FAIL AND THEY PAY THE
POLITICAL PRICE, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEIR INTENT IS.
EVEN
EISENHOWER WARNED ABOUT IT, HE WAS A REPUBLICAN AND HE SAID
THERE'S ONLY A CERTAIN NUMBER OF CONSERVATIVES WHO WANT TO CUT
SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE, THEY ARE USUALLY TEXAS OIL
BILLIONAIRES -- THE BUSHES, NOT QUITE BILLIONAIRES BUT OILMEN
FROM TEXAS -- AND THE REALLY RICH, AND THEY ARE STUPID HE
SAID.
AND HERE THEY ARE DECADES LATER TRYING THE SAME DAMN
THING.
AND EVEN REPUBLICANS NOT ON SOCIAL SECURITY OR MEDICARE,
THEY SAY SHOULD BE CUT FUNDING FOR PROGRAMS FOR AMERICAN'S
NEEDY?
ONLY 37% SAID YES, MOST OF THEM SAID NO.
EVEN IF IT
DOESN'T APPLY TO ME, DON'T CUT IT. AND WHEN IT COMES TO THEM,
THESE NUMBERS ARE MINUSCULE, ONLY 15% OF REPUBLICANS
SUPPORTING CUTTING MEDICARE, ONLY 10% CUTTING SOCIAL
SECURITY.
THEY ARE GOING TO RUN INTO A BRICK WALL WITH THAT
SO-CALLED GENIUS PAUL RYAN LEADING THE WAY. AND TRUMP SAID
HE WOULD NEVER TOUCH THEM, AND OF COURSE EVERY SINGLE THING HE
SAID DURING THE CAMPAIGN WAS A LIE, THIS IS LIKELY TO BE A LIE,
I HOPE HE LEADS THIS CHARGE AND THAT IT'S HIS WATERLOO, AND
AMERICANS FINALLY WAKE UP AND GO, ALL RIGHT, THEY MEANT TO
TAKE MY MONEY AND GIVE IT TO THE RICH.
YES, THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
