Good luck with that shit, you fucking morons. Guess you like being in the minority and want to go back in 2024. Also, turn in your fucking long tab, Waltz, you worthless oxygen thief. Also, also, NOT FUCKING ENTITLEMENTS. Earned.
Republicans Signal Cuts To Social Security, Medicare With New House Majority
Louse Republicans are making clear that they intend to seek cuts to entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare with their new majority in the 118th Congress.
Their plans to target health care programs follow demands from a group of conservatives that helped elect House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) over the weekend. Those far-right lawmakers have sought across-the-board spending cuts in order to tackle the growing national debt.
But the narrow House GOP majority ― McCarthy can afford to lose just four votes on any bill ― is far more divided on cuts to defense spending than for entitlement programs.
Im all for a balanced budget, but were not going to do it on the backs of our troops and our military, Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.), a former Army Green Beret, said Monday during an interview on Fox Business. If we really want to talk about the debt and spending, its the entitlements programs.

We pay into that our whole lives. That means we are entitled to it. Republicans misuse the word.
