Trump proposes $845 billion reduction to Medicare in new budget.

[ChiTownDenny]

As a candidate in the 2015 GOP primary, Trump promised he would not cut, among other entitlement programs, Medicare. As a candidate in the 2016 presidential election, Trump promised he would not cut, among other entitlement programs, Medicare. Trump has released his 2020 budget proposal. Guess what? Trump proposes almost a $1 trillion in cuts to Medicare. Other entitlements including Medicaid also take a hit.

While your reading the news about Trump setting the country up for a new shutdown showdown because his budget proposes billions for his border wall, no one is talking about his proposed cuts to Medicare.

This should be the headline: Trump proposes $845 billion reduction to Medicare in new budget. Trump promised over and over to 'save' Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

1. Middle finger to those who voted for him in poor red states

2. Democrats and many Republicans will not support this....

Because their constituents need all that Medicare provides. This would hit seniors in Red states very hard, and they vote!

3. Exactly!

I don't know why all I'm hearing about is the proposed billions for the border wall. I think this is the wake-up call for his senior constituents but they're not hearing about it.
