Here is some data that needs to be considered
Trump selects record-breaking number of billionaires for his administration
Here is the video with the news
One thing stated in the first few minutes of the video is that the amount of net worth of these individuals chosen by Trump is
84 times greater than the net worth of all Biden cabinet members or those chosen by Biden to run the country,
This OP is all about whether rich people can actually relate to and empathize with the problems of the middle and poor class, which is 98% of the population.
This news makes that question even more relevant
Nonetheless and within this news, another big issue is being bandied about and that is Social Security and Medicare and the future of thos. This came out 3 days ago:
Donald Trump claims Social Security and Medicare will be left alone. Congressional Republicans appear to have a very different agenda in mind.
Part of the problem is that there’s often an enormous gap between what the president-elect says he’ll do and what he actually does. Making matters worse, his record on the issue
isn’t nearly as sterling as he likes to pretend.
And then, of course, there are congressional Republicans to consider. Last week, for example, Republican Rep. Richard McCormick of Georgia also appeared on Fox Business
and said, “We’re gonna have to have some hard decisions. We’ve gotta bring in the Democrats and talk about Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare. There’s hundreds of billions of dollars to be saved, and we know how to do it. We just have to have the stomach to actually take those challenges on.”
and then this article
On the campaign trail, Donald Trump promised to end taxes on Social Security benefits. Many seniors naturally responded positively to this idea, and he was rewarded with their votes. It’s easy to see why many would agree with this idea on the surface. After all, workers already pay taxes on their earnings throughout their careers. These taxes are used to fund future Social Security benefits. Retirees would be excused for thinking that they’re being taxed twice.
However, the reality is far more complicated — and potentially disastrous. By law, taxes on Social Security benefits are funneled back into the Social Security and Medicare trust funds. Ending this revenue stream would have serious financial consequences, accelerating the insolvency of both programs. This would put the benefits that millions of American seniors depend on at grave risk.
