The post 2008 financial shock, by necessity, required governments create massive piles of cash to sustain the economy, especially if they were not going to bail out holders of home mortgages. Turning cash over to finance kept the economy humming,

Speaking at a POLITICO event, Chiquita Brooks-LaSure suggested that Elon Musk and his team don't have sufficient expertise in Medicare.

Friends Julie Roginsky, a Democrat, and Mike DuHaime, a Republican, talk politics: Until DOGE starts hurting communities, people don't care.

Trump refused to comment on whether China will seize Taiwan. … He said the EU was created “to screw the United States.” … He said Republicans were “not gonna touch” Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security,

Any that takes place appears to be of the small change, one-person-at-a-time sort, not the larger-scale continuing issues at Medicaid and Medicare.

Every single member of Congress must publicly pledge that they will keep the promises Trump made on the campaign trail to not cut Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid.  The only efficiency Elon Musk cares about is how efficiently he can take your money to line his own pockets.

The billionaire's claims about millions of dead people on Social Security are dead wrong. The real problem is a shrinking workforce paying into the system.

Elon Musk called things like Social Security and Medicare “entitlements.” Do you know who gets Social Security and Medicare? People who are retired, disabled, and those who are 65 or older. Musk was speaking at CPAC when he spoke about the 500 billion dollars a year spend on these two programs.
