Democratic lawmakers expressed grave concerns at a recent rally about possible cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid by the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). They argue that such cuts could jeopardize essential benefits, despite Trump’s assurances that Social Security would not be targeted. The urgency stems from a looming 2035 insolvency for the program if reforms aren’t enacted. Concurrently, DOGE has been accused of unnecessarily reallocating funds, complicating the future of federal spending aimed at social welfare programs. Legal challenges also threaten the administration's budgetary proposals, stirring political debates regarding government funding responsibilities.
