Donald Trump warned Tuesday that if the Democrats don’t approve funding, there are dangers to the future of Social Security and Medicare.

Trump said at a press conference that when he asked Democrats for feedback on the funding bills, one said, “It means death.”

“There’s nothing about death,” Trump said. “Theirs is death because they’re going to lose Medicaid, they’re going to lose Social Security, they’re going to lose Medicare, all of those things are going to be gone because the whole country would be bankrupt, and you’re not going to have any kind of medical insurance.”

    This is a casual discussion forum, sorry you didn’t see I was exaggerating. Any amount of money put into one’s bank account with no effort is “living large” (slight exaggeration) in my opinion. Hey I’m struggling too. Life is not easy.

      The idea behind social security is that the recipients already put in a career’s worth of effort. They paid social security taxes for however many years, and now they are ENTITLED to the payments they receive in their retirement. It’s their money.
