Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy propose cuts to Social Security and Medicare to fund tax breaks for the wealthy

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are leading a new initiative called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which aims to cut entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare to fund tax cuts for the wealthy. This plan has gained support from some congressional Republicans. The GOP's strategy involves significant spending cuts, estimated at $2.5 trillion, targeting programs that many Americans rely on. Critics argue that this approach prioritizes tax breaks for the rich over essential services for working families. Musk and Ramaswamy's proposals have faced skepticism, with many Americans opposing cuts to vital programs. Polls indicate a strong public preference for raising taxes on the wealthy to support education, healthcare, and social services.
