If the tariffs are supposed to pay for the uber rich tax cuts, why demolish Social Security?

I suspect DOGE and the cuts are less about the math and more about creating a vague appearance or impression that we can do tax cuts because theyтАЩve trimmed so much (fictitious) waste fraud and abuse. The theyтАЩll lie about what the CBO scores say or say itтАЩs the deep state. ItтАЩs always about the show and not the substance with these people

the tariffs won't bring in anywhere near the money they claim. Especially if they work right.....they would decrease revenue. Its all a ploy to pass the Massive Tax cut with a made up "offset" which is required for reconcilliation.

I kept wondering why they were decimating Social Security if the tariffs were going to pay for those extravagant tax cuts to the uber rich. Now it makes better sense if the tariffs are an offset. Thank you for clarifying that.

Social Security is the bank....the real money. They asked Willie Sutton a famous bank robber why he robbed banks and he said....because that's where the money is. Even though its scheduled to go into the red right now there's basically a river of money going in there every week with the "payroll" tax. Trillions and that continues on into the future

Thank you. I get it. I just wish it wasn't so.
