Quit projecting. They’ve not said anything they would reasonably make one believe that existing taxpayers will have cuts.

Then we won't have anywhere close to a balanced budget.

If SS was a private pension system the managers would be in jail.

Musk can't do shite relative to cutting SS. Trump said explicitly he would not cut SS or medicare.

So, You're admitting you're here illegally?

They are not cutting SS for Americans. The rest are done stealing
from America.

The annual Social Security budget is $1.4 Trillion. By 2035 social security is expected to be between 17 and 23 percent short - so around $300 billion.

The United States spends $70 billion annually in foreign aid, not including special expenditures for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, etc., which have been well in excess of $200 billion. None of this includes direct military expenditures and operations in other countries which are tens of billions more. Nor does it include war spending in Afghanistan, which was $2.3 trillion. (or the next Afghanistan, or the next or the next or the next)

I literally posted the numbers for you from 2023 (the last official numbers we have).

It accounts for all of that spending you're referencing in the non-discretionary spending. Again, you can cut all of that to $0 moving forward and see how the math doesn't work.

That has nothing to do with a deficit. That has to do with debt.

We can't tackle the debt until we get on the other side of the annual deficit

That's the dichotomy of American politics. We can't balance the budget without entitlement cuts and you can't stay in power if you cut entitlements.


SS is more of a government skimming scam than an entitlement. They have been borrowing the "Trust Fund" for decades as a blue light special paying interest that was lower than the inflation rate.

Had it been invested in the stock market the interest would have been 9% compounded instead of the 2% government has typically paid.

It needs to happen but you are correct, our citizens will not stand for it.

Our system is broken. Ignorance rules.
