Rubio Admits Republicans Will Cut Social Security And Medicare Next

Rubio told reporters this week that in order to address the federal deficit, which will grow by at least $1 trillion if the tax plan passes, Congress will need to cut entitlement programs such as Social Security. Advocates for the elderly and the poor have warned that entitlement programs would be on the chopping block, but this is the first time a prominent Republican has backed their claims.

Even though it means that they will personally face disaster, it proves that Obama destroyed the country. Otherwise, why would Trump the wise businessman who isn't afraid to say what he thinks, be forced to make these devastating cuts?

I'm not kidding. This morning I am having that very exchange on FB with a racist fuckhead in my town.

They are idiots, all of them, and they are willingly beyond redemption. They should be quarantined and sequestered for their own safety, cut off from Fox News and similar right-wing propaganda outlets.


Fuck every last one of them.
