Quote:Question for Trump supporters:   Do you agree with Trump that we should not make any changes to Medicare and Social Security?  

 

I am not sure what non-major changes can be made to Medicare other than cutting fraud, waste, and abuse and slimming down its bureaucracy. Social security I would prefer the retirement age was raised, but he said he wouldn't do it. The reason he says this too is because he knows making declarations that he will change them will cost him the election.

 

[At CPAC, Trump said}: "As Republicans, if you think you are going to change very substantially for the worse Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security in any substantial way, and at the same time you think you are going to win elections, it just really is not going to happen," Mr. Trump said, adding that polls show that tea partyers are among those who don't want their entitlements changed. "What we have to do and the way we solve our problems it to build a great economy."

 

I am not a single-issue voter, and those two aren't very high on my list.
