The budget, if enacted, would cut billions from the three safety-net programs over the next decade.
President Donald Trump has vowed over the course of his presidency not to cut federal spending for entitlement programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. But his $4.8 trillion budget proposal for fiscal year 2021, unveiled Monday, seeks to do just that.
Copies of President Donald Trump's fiscal year 2021 budget after they were delivered to the House Budget Committee on February 10."We're not touching Medicare," Trump told a group of governors gathered for a White House event on Monday."We're not touching Social Security.""We will not be touching your Social Security or Medicare in Fiscal 2021 Budget," he wrote.
"The president's been very clear: There will be no changes to the benefits of Social Security and Medicare, and this budget complies with that promise to the American people," he told Fox News.
