"I think these should be on the table," GOP Rep. Greg Lopez said of Social Security and Medicare.

Summary

At the first meeting of the DOGE Caucus, a new congressional group focused on government efficiency, Republican Rep. Greg Lopez stated that cuts to Social Security and Medicare are likely “on the table” as part of debt reduction efforts.

The caucus, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, aims to slash government spending, raising concerns among advocacy groups about potential attacks on anti-poverty programs.

Critics, including Social Security Works, warn the caucus may push for privatization and benefit reductions.

This comes despite Trump’s prior commitment to protect these programs.

      This country isn’t for you, homie. It’s for the rich.

      The rich will get your money and your interest, and you’ll get nothing. Americans like it that way.
