Anyway, I really hope Trump keeps his word about not cutting social security, medicare, medicaid, and supplemental food programs to reduce the increased debt/deficit created by the tax cuts.
It's not my experience that those who benefit from those programs are lazy or milking the system (though I'm sure some do). Most of the people I know and employed who benefit from those programs are very hard working (or old and already paid their dues to the system).
I suspect President Trump won't impose such cuts in his first term because the voters in his base would be the most affected. I do worry that he might go there if he's elected to a second term and re-election is no longer an issue though.
