This budget proposal comes just a week after the president said that “we will always protect your Medicare and we will always protect your Social Security” during the State of the Union address.
The White House unveiled its budget proposal on Monday, part of which appears to contradict the promises the president made to save safety-net programs like Social Security and Medicare.
But this budget proposal does come just a week after the president said he would protect these programs. “We will always protect your Medicare and we will always protect your Social Security. Always,” he said during the State of the Union speech on Feb. 4. “This budget foreshadows a broader attack on seniors’ earned benefits that President Trump hinted at in a recent interview, when he said that cutting ‘entitlements’ is ‘the easiest of all things,’” said Max Richtman, president and chief executive officer of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, referring to the comments in Davos.
