There were protests against the Department Of Government Efficiency all over the country last weekend. People are afraid that Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid will be cut.

Nobody is making cuts to these programs! Nobody!

If all you see on TV is the left telling you President Donald Trump is cutting these programs I can understand the fear.

I believe the left wants you to hate President Trump and they are fear mongering.

Look up facts for yourself. I believe the only cuts that are happening are to those who should not be getting these benefits to begin with.

The cuts are necessary because the costs are not sustainable. There is not enough money for the government to continue spending as freely as they have been.

In order to keep these programs the waste must be cut. Otherwise there will be no money for them to continue.
