Because he's not!! A number of media outlets, several policymakers, and numerous political operatives have said the budget would cutMedicare by $845 billion and attacked these reductions, implying they represent large cuts to Medicare beneficiaries. This claim is largely false. In reality, the budget reduces Medicare spending by $515 billion or $575 billion (depending on how one measures). And rather than coming from benefit reductions, these savings come largely from policies that would reduce the cost of care for the taxpayer and Medicarebeneficiaries – and many of them build upon ideas originally proposed in President Obama's budgets. The oft-cited $845 billion estimate represents the gross difference in Medicare costs between the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) baseline and the President's proposed budget over the next decade. However, about one-third of that stems from moving two parts of Medicare – Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments and Graduate Medical Education (GME) payments – out of Medicare and into other parts of the budget. Most of the spending would continue, just not as part of Medicare.

@deelee5244 No, the economy is not great. It's FANTASTIC. If you had any education about economics and sat down, and named the factors that make for what's called a "goldilocks economy" the TRUMP economy would nail it. TOO MUCH is just as bad as TOO LITTLE. Looks at gasoline prices, jobs, wage growth, inflation, business confidence, interest rates, new home sales. FANTASTIC.. TRUMP 2020!!

Bernie "most small donors" is a FRAUD.. WASHINGTON—The February day that Sen. Bernie Sanders began his second Democratic presidential campaign, Christine Peloza gave him $27, the amount Mr. Sanders often boasted was the average donation in his first run. Then, she kept giving, in $3 increments, clicking donate up to 20 times a day. By the end of June, Mrs. Peloza, a 34-year-old office manager at an elderly care facility in Illinois, had donated more than 850 times to Mr. Sanders, making her the most frequent contributor to any presidential campaign this year. Mrs. Peloza is a standout example of a new trend in political fundraising. Instead of writing one large check to their preferred candidate, some donors are throwing them a few bucks dozens, or even hundreds, of times. Some repeat donors eventually pile up small contributions totaling $2,800, the legal maximum for a federal election.

@jimmyjones5113 No tax? Who's gonna pay to lock criminals up? Who pays for the fire department to stop the flames from spreading from the ghetto?

@robertwells7352 God bless him. If that money was floating around the economy, inflation would be going through the roof.
