The crazy thing is much of Trump’s base benefit from these very Entitlement programs, but his base is not rich, and the rich needs this money!

It has been reported that the tax plan Republicans enacted will cost Americans $2.3 trillion. An astronomical cost dumped on our back with the sole purpose of giving more to the rich. So in their effort to justify this thievery, Republicans will cut entitlement programs that help the poor.

Today, for example, Larry Kudlow, the director of the Trump White House’s National Economic Council, spoke at the Economic Club of New York, and had this exchange with CNBC’s Becky Quick:

QUICK: Will the Trump administration tackle entitlement reform?
KUDLOW: Well, we’ve already tackled a big part of the newest entitlement, namely Obamacare. As far as the larger entitlements, I think everybody’s going to look at that probably next year. I don’t want to be specific, I don’t want to get ahead of our own budgeting, but we’ll get there.

Amazingly, his base is okay with losing their life-saving benefits if it means putting more money in Trump’s pocket. They are like sheep following the beloved wolf to their demise.

Mitt Romney – Obama Voters Believe In Entitlements And Are Not Responsible

Mother Jones posted a very damaging video today showing Mitt Romney talking to a small group of big-time donors. Romney, in the presence of these rich folks chose to talk about poorer Americans, and he expressed his feelings about these unfortunate citizens.

Romney said that these poor Americans are people who believes in an “entitlement” society. He said that they look at themselves as “victims,” and concluded that his job is not to “worry about those people,” because he can never “convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”

These voters Romney claimed, are Obama voters.

There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax.

[M]y job is is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”
