SS is part of the mandantory budget.
The other you listed like food stamps and housing make up only a tiny part of the budget. Housing is 1% ad food stamps falls into food and agriculture which totals only 4%. Reducing those will only hurt people and do almost nothing to help.
Yes i am. IF THEY CRACKED the hell down on all the fraud in both of those programs imo they could EASILY cut them down by 10%..
Medicaid fraud could be cleaned up. It makes up 28% of the budget and is the biggest part of the pie.

SS is in trouble.
