Paul Ryan Coming For Your Medicare.....

The tax bill for rich people (and corporations) is not even signed yet but Paul Ryan's is concerned about how to pay for it.

Don't worry because he is gonna get the old people (and poor people) to pay for it.

1.5 trillion in tax cuts.....no sweat. Cut Medicare.

Take the money from the poor people and hand it to the rich people.

This won't happen in 2018 though.

2018 is an election year. Nobody is cutting Medicare in an election year.

Republicans will aim next year to reduce spending on both federal health care and anti-poverty programs, citing the need to reduce America's deficit.

"We're going to have to get back next year at entitlement reform, which is how you tackle the debt and the deficit," Ryan said during an appearance on Ross Kaminsky's talk radio show. "... Frankly, it's the health care entitlements that are the big drivers of our debt, (and tax cuts for rich people) so we spend more time on the health care entitlements -- because that's really where the problem lies, fiscally speaking."

Ryan said that he believes he has begun convincing President Donald Trump in their private conversations about the need to rein in Medicare, the federal health program that primarily insures the elderly. As a candidate, Trump vowed not to cut spending on Social Security.

(Trump has been keeping his promises so far so we will see how that goes)
