No, if you had read my post I was speaking about it being a well worn byline.
Which had what to do with what? Trump is the current President. It was in the paper and TV and everything. Had a big parade even.

And...... the Democrats are rolling out their well worn byline.

President Donald Trump on Monday unveiled a $4.7 trillion federal spending plan that calls for cuts to domestic programs — including Medicare and Social Security — while boosting military spending and increasing funding for a southern border wall.

The budget also calls for reforms to the Medicare program that provides health coverage for elderly Americans, which the office estimates will save $845 billion over the next decade, and proposes reducing spending on Social Security programs by $26 billion.


While this is cast as 'reforms' and 'savings', we know the Republicans have no workable solution for reducing healthcare costs. They talked a big game and came up with nothing when they controlled everything. This is just cuts, hundreds of billions of dollars of cuts, to seniors.

When the President submits a budget, it is considered to be approved by.... the President. Currently the President is Donald J. Trump. You may have heard of him.

Where is that quote from the President saying they are cutting benefits to seniors.
oh geez. This thread isn't making stuff up out of nothing.
And I'd be inclined to suggest that perhaps you don't think it is true unless Trump says it. And yet it seems with trump that is almost always a guarantee that it is AT BEST, questionable.

Here comes the scare tactics.

Medicare is being cut

Social security is being cut

One of the most used Democratic bylines in history.


Hold on I will post some links.


Was this not bush's plan?

WASHINGTON, April 28 - President Bush called Thursday night for cutting Social Security benefits for future retirees to put the system on sound financial footing, and he proposed doing so in a way that would demand the most sacrifice from higher-income people while insulating low-income workers.

So quoting someone making a claim is now a scare tactic?

Unless...they. don’t. want. to. win?

It is awfully hard to blame the Democrats for all of the country’s ills when the Democrats aren’t actually in control.

ATTN Seniors: Trumps calls for cuts to Social Security, Medicare

Trump would prefer placing American seniors, who are not registered Republicans and members of the 1%, on icebergs floating out to sea - unfortunately icebergs are currently in short supply due to "climate change," a term good conservatives are forbidden from mentioning!

Yes, Bush wanted to privatize social security; I remember. Fortunately, he was unsuccessful. Since the Great Recession people have stopped whining about how much better off they would have been if only they had been allowed to invest their FICA money in the stock market. It's not as though there were anything stopping them from investing their savings...

Donald just wants to flat out cut it - more money for the big, beautiful wall.

It's in the budget he just submitted!!!

It's in the budget Donald presented. There's no way around that.

Never underestimate a Donald supporter's powers of denial. Present them with videotaped evidence, and they'll just claim it's Obama doing some sort of Kenyan voodoo...
