Trump To Make Zero Cuts to Social Security, Give or Take $25 Billion

As you absorb the discussion here, realize what this means.  Trump’s fan base will not be told anything about his proposed budget as it pertains to Social Security, and even if they were to come across it accidentally, they would dismiss it as “fake news.”

Having tens of millions of voters who will believe anything their savior tells them, regardless of how demonstrably false, renders a democracy quite fragile, if it doesn’t kill it dead.

    Craig,

    Evidently, neither you, nor Ms O’Brien are aware the United States federal budget for fiscal year 2020 runs from October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020 !

    Nowhere in my copy of the budget submitted by President Trump to the 116th Congress on 11 March, 2019, is there any mention of a $25 billion dollar cut in Social Security!

    Presumably, CNN’s talking head, Ms O’Brien has either got her dates wrong, or is clairvoyant and can accurately predict a budget not yet fully compiled or finalized.

    The only other explanation is Ms O’Brien and CNN has obtained a copy of confidential proposal documents illegally obtained.

    If this is the case, the both CNN and Ms O’Brien have been willing parties to committing a very serious criminal act.

    “Fake News” couldn’t have a better definition. than the outbursts of Ms O’Brian, CNN and malicious parrots like yourself!

    Really, if this is the best sort of muddle headed lies the President’s enemies can offer, he is certain to win in November.

    Rep Adam Schiff complained that “If Donald Trump is acquitted he’ll do it again”. When asked if this meant continuing to urge investigation of Biden family corruption, Schiff replied “Exactly, unless he’s removed from office, who can tell who might be his next target”.

    Getting out my well thumbed copy of the US Constitution, I can’t find any reference to a lifetime immunity from all crimes and corrupt acts if the individual concerned (and his family members) is a former VP or a potential Democrat Presidential candidate!

    I think all, but the most fanatical of democrats, might think twice before buying into Adam Schiff corrupt reasoning.
