    Trump vowed to not cut Social Security and Medicare—hours before proposing just that

    The president is either brazenly lying about his 2021 budget or doesn’t know what’s in it.
    This is taken from Vox---yesterday the WSJ had an extensive article on the proposed budget.

    I might add both options are true---he doesn't know what is in it and he lies like hell

    The Dems in Congress will throw rocks at any budget he presents.

    I honestly don't know how anybody could remember all the verbage and figures in any bill that is put forward.

    cutting social security benefits is the government stealing money that was held out of my paycheck by the government to supposedly provide me with my own money in retirement. Eff those thieving bastards. Not to mention that they have been "borrowing" from that fund to pay for other non related bullroar for years. this is just them admitting that they are stealing not borrowing it...Line em all up and shoot em.

    So, you’re the one who bought the hooey that there was a “fund” of Social Security money somewhere waiting for you to cash in, ‘eh?

    I quoted VOX only because it agreed with the figures posted Sunday in the WSJ---which as you know is closed to non-subscribers. Tell me---what do you find inaccurate in the linked article or is your objection more that someone would point out the disgusting and unfailing proclivities of trump?

    Hmmm... don't know that one. I'd like some illumination of it, please.

    I can't ignore the fact that as always the "defense" ignores the trump issues of lies and plans to attack the very things he claimed to be sacred.

    Instead the noise is to attack any and all who justifiably point out these shortcomings.

    I will admit a touch of compassion for the trumpers and trumpets, your trail is a hard one.

    No, actually it was a charge against the hypocrisy of the moment.
