Trump tells Republicans to leave Medicare and Social Security cuts out of negotiations as the debt ceiling showdown heats up
means increasing the legal amount of money the federal government is able to borrow to keep paying for programs already mandated by Congress, essentially allowing the US to stay on top of paying its bills. While Republicans raised the limit three times under Trump, they are now using it as ato achieve spending cuts on Biden's priorities — but Trump does not want entitlement programs to be a part of those negotiations.
Trump had moved the GOP away from hacking at Medicare and Social Security during his presidency, something that former GOP House speaker Paul Ryan"He and I fought about Medicare and entitlement reform all the time," Ryan said of Trump in April."It became clear to me there was no way he wanted to embrace that."
Republicans are upping the ante on entitlement spending pressure, but Trump's warning comes as these programs remain almost universally popular. In a 2020of 1,441 adults across the political spectrum, 96% of respondents said that Social Security was either the most important government program or an important one compared with other government programs.
