Other new measures are slated to increase profit revenues from tolls, airports and transportation projects, while cutting social programs. RT America’s Ed Schultz reports.

Paul Ryan says the military isn’t taking too much money when it’s bigger than the next 3 top Nations combined. It’s all the people working for Walmart who should suffer! Now let’s have a military parade! And cut social programs to some families of the soldiers who must march to entertain the president.
North Korean style
more money has been stolen from Americans by the government, and the defense department, than ever was by illegals. the day before 9/11 Rumsfield admitted the Pentagon coudn’t track 2.3 trillion dollars! How the F do you lose 2.3 trillion dollars?
rosie her look there are people who take advantage of government programs that are doing so illegally. There are people who lie on their taxes clutching either Medicaid or Medicare there even illegal immigrants also on Medicare. If 5% of the Medicare recipients are illegals do you think they should cut the funniest the people that lawfully rely on the program? No the solution is to step up the verification process. So that people don’t legally benefit. But your logic is twisted saying that we should cut the program out because 2% of the population are illegal immigrants. Also very few illegal immigrants actually have 10 kids saying that most are like that sounds racist. your being Distracted by inflammatory propaganda.
rosie her do you honestly believe that all illegals have 10 or more kids? And that a majority of Medicaid recipients are illegals Or are you just trying to be deceptive?
rosie her I believe that no one with 10 kids can pay for that US citizen or not. Now answer my question-
I would say it is govt waste, failure to appropriate fairly and corruption milking the system, including illegal immigrants living off the system while working under the table tax free.
Zip Zap
Or the criminal Hillary whiner?
Jefferson Goodman
Illegals don’t EVEN NEARLY CONTRIBUTE as much as they take. Think they can afford the 5+ kids they have with a minimum wage job? Get real
DV 8
How about the 75% that the US contributes to NATO.
So are immigrants responsible for accepting cash under the table, or employers for hiring them?
Is RT the Russians, or is it the Democrats ?
It isn’t the old, and infirm, and it never has been.
Im about to apply for Medicaid. But this wont affect it right?? Jk we’re Way overdue for a REVOLUTION
Art Koslinski Commies and Libtards free helicopter rides!
My gender is Apache up your azz
Lie lie lie! The Military is the economic drain of our consciousness, hearts and economy.

Take a look at how much the military uses. Medicare and social security are more each
Voting won’t solve America’s corruption.
Zox ovox yep. America is gay and I hope it gets nuked
Vote rigging will?
HAHAHA $716 Billion on the military last year alone. That isn’t including the “rainy day” funds they can draw on. All NON US allies combined only spend $299 billion. They do know how empires fall right?
Illegal immigrants aren’t eligible for any benefits and still pay taxes. You’re blatantly lying.
Takyr Dai yup. Just ask Russia about the end result of their Afghanistan war.
rosie her methinks it is you gobbling down propaganda. Go away.
Entitlement reform? Oh, hose the elderly, disabled, poor…

Well, libtards rather fight for illegals than the citizens. What’s the difference?
Public Private Partnerships are the biggest scams out there, unless you can explain why its worthwhile to throw out at least half of your revenue on interest rates that start out fair but peak at catastrophic levels 15- 20 years later siphoning funds from basic infrastructure, education, and other non mandatory (but sometimes necessary) expenditures.
That’s not necessarily true, there are many industries that government excels at compared to private industry. Take the postal system for example, compare sending a letter to Homer, Alaska between USPS and UPS, see which one gets there first, and which is the least expensive.
Another example would be healthcare, The healthcare system in the US ranks last compared to all other OECD nations, despite the fact that the majority of healthcare in the US is handled through private industries.
Another example is roadways, railways, ferries and mass transit. Banking is another example, as is education. Chattanooga, Tennessee has already proven that a public ISP is far superior to the private industry and now has the fastest interwebz in the US, and not only is it faster than the private competition it’s also cheaper and reaches more people. In fact I could make a very long list of examples in which public industry have provided better services than their private counterparts. There are many reasons for this such as the red tape involved in hospitals and clinics having to deal with multiple healthcare plans who all have differing coverage and coverage methods. The main factor however is profit. If you want to save money to increase corporate profit, the first employee that should be fired is the CEO, who at times earn as much as all of the employees combined, that could never happen with a public industry. The typical private industry model is to provide the least amount of service for the most amount of profit. A publicly owned industry can manage for far longer without even making a profit, and can still afford to expand. You can’t do that with private industries.
It’s time to get off the tit… Go get a job and quit living on welfare..
Donn Worry what job you moron.
Funny you say Get a Job? These people have JOBS and work full time. Walmart encourages their employees to get on Food Stamps. Who’s the biggest Employer?
Kriston Pohlman Walmart, McDonald’s, ect are not careers…
I know that, there JOBS. How many jobs are out there compared to Careers. We’re living in a Oligarchy and the Few want us to believe their words and hate the poor, be divided. I wish for answers but I’m not for this shitty Government.
Entitlements? People pay into their social security. It’s not an entitlement. Ryan and trump are out of touch and down right criminal.
Wrong. Social security is totally an entitlement. Each dollar you get is borrowed before it is sent to you. And in thought…most feel entitled to it….the irony. It is under the social welfare state system. It is also called an unfunded liability. You “think” you are paying into a government program…but you are paying a tax…it is not the same as investing.
Ryan McCoy whatever happened to we all being in this together come on man
Ryan McCoy I don’t know where you get your information but it is fucked up.
Justin Williamson …look….I understand that since we became a welfare state almost a hundred years ago….and have grown it to include welfare for corporations and for most working people and even rich ones too, in many forms…we have a system that we can’t live without. The entitlements/welfare socialism system bleeds the country and creates more poverty and also creates barriers for the private sector to not be the major contributor to those in need. I understand the need for welfare when disabled…as it hits home for me as well. I also agree we should cut military spending to a small fraction of we use. We do need to cut welfare where it isn’t being used by citizens….and by citizens I mean naturally born of two citizens. We need to implement the libertarian ideas of working ourselves off the government welfare and creating incentive for private sector to reengage. Also. We shouldn’t be taxed on any income or property…like our founders wanted. This would create more wealth for citizens to be there for others on a personal level…etc. the cuts need to be done wisely…and with a counter solution applied immediately.
That’s alright we the people pay for it and pay for it again.
Here’s the thing about our government. They think it’s okay to spend 60 to 70% of our money on killing people but don’t even want to spend 5% on making their own citizens healthy! This is the absolute epitome of insanity! Our government officials better get a clue because people are getting really really pissed!
Janet Baker
Because libtards want to give to illegals instead of their citizens.

‘Entitlement reform’ means abandoning the poor. But the enemy still wants your allegiance. The U.S. don’t stand for nothing we believe in. To the DOJ I encourage you to log this comment in one of the fusion centers you built from stolen money taken from Americans by force and threats. Assess it, look at it, log it, data mine it, spy on it, evaluate and examine it then look at it again. All U.S. hostile actions are history to be remembered and so the flame burns eternal.
The social security system does not even come close to the MASSIVE MILITARY WASTE. BRING THE TROOPS HOME!
Military is NOT the problem!? BULLSHIT!…. but “entitlement” for those who worked their whole lives to pay for YOUR cadillac health plan IS?……..!! BULL— $H1T. not buying that statement for one second.
Paul Ryan needs to be skull Fcked. Military isn’t the problem are you kidding me!
