U.S. debt default - do we cut SS/medicare or welfare/medicaid?

SS/medicare are NOT freebies. Working people (mostly whites BTW) paid into it - it's their money and they should get it back. OTOH welfare/medicaid is just a gift to lazy useless non-whites. They have no right to it.

may 13 2023 With the odds of a U.S. debt default increasing, Social Security advocates warn beneficiaries they should be prepared in case their payments are interrupted.

Dan Adcock, director of government relations and policy for the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, said there is a "good chance" that in the event of a default, millions of Americans' benefits would be disrupted.

"Seniors should be prepared if they're financially able," Adcock said, adding they should consider putting off discretionary purchases "so they have enough to tide them over."

But millions of beneficiaries have no financial room to maneuver, Adcock said, noting that about 40% of Social Security recipients, which include Americans who are disabled and those who are widowed, receive 90% of their income from the safety net program. That equates to nearly 27 million people.

Analysts suggest it isn't certain that the government will miss payments to Social Security recipients in the event of a default. The matter would likely depend on how much cash is on hand if or when the debt ceiling is breached.

Nobody’s currency is backed by anything, it’s all pretend money so we erase our debt and so will all other nations in the world and we all start from zero

35% layoff in every single department. As Twitter has shown, they won't me missed.
All new spending from the last Omnibus bill, reversed.
All $ for illegal alien welfare stop.
All $ for grifter Zelinsky stop.
All $ for foreign aid stop.
All $ for UN, NATO stop.

Lets see what that does. I can do a whole lot more.

SS and Medicare have been wrongly altered to pay full or fuller benefits than were contributed for as a means of vote buying. We could recoup those ms spent funds and still be fair.

Take Medicare and Medicaid private to manage the fraud which is RAMPANT.

Additionally, Medicaid does not need to be the Cadillac coverage it is today. For example, there is no need for sex changes.

We could just audit the Fed.

Yup - doctors bill patients for fictitious services and the doc and patient then split the money the govt gives them. All non-whites are in on that scam.

Budget cuts are unrelated to the debt ceiling. TDAK is certainly too fucking stupid to understand that.

If Republicans attempt to cut either, they will be thrashed even worse in 2024. And they are already reeling.

Cut food stamps, disability payments, and Medicaid to Republican voters, since they would be the cause of an economic meltdown

Aggressively tax the wealthy. We used to do it.

Agreed. Most wealthy people are useless eaters - lawyers politicians entertainers athletes bankers etc.

Try $5,000 lard carts that really only cost about a grand ?
Most of the never actually performed services the patient never knows about, doc pockets it all.
Mainly the docs know how to bill to obtain the maximum payout (lots of software sold to do this, my old neighbor used to write code for one).
