frump now calls social security, medicaid, medicare and chips "scams"...

".. Speaking at a closed Easter lunch at the White House on Wednesday, US President Donald Trump declared that the federal government should stop paying for daycare, Medicare and Medicaid, all of which, he indicated, must be sacrificed for imperialist war.

“Don’t send any money for daycare,” Trump said, because “we’re fighting wars.” He went on, “You gotta let states take care of daycare and they should pay for it too ... Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things,” insisting that Washington had to concern itself with only “one thing, military protection.”

He added that the federal government’s role was to “guard the country,” before dismissing Social Security, which serves more than 70 million people; Medicare, which covers about 68 million; and Medicaid and CHIP (the Children’s Health Insurance Program), which together cover more than 75 million people, including about 36 million children, as “little scams.”

I bet this will be very unpopular with everyone. I have never been threatened by Iran. Years ago, an Iranian colleague of mine, named Abbass had car that would not start. I loaned him my battery terminal cleaner, and he never returned it. At the time. these cost $1.49. I do not think that I have ever been exploited by a Canadian or a Mexican, either. But I really do need my Medicare.
