Did you know that the term "Mandatory Spending" is being used to cut YOUR Social Security, Medicare, and Food Stamps?
When politicians talk about “cutting mandatory spending,” they don’t always explain what it really means. Many Americans think it’s about government waste, but here’s the truth: Mandatory spending refers to programs that MILLIONS rely on to survive.
Here's what’s at risk:
Social Security: Benefits for seniors who’ve paid into the system their entire lives.
Medicare & Medicaid: Health care for elderly, disabled, and low-income Americans.
Food Stamps (SNAP): Assistance for families struggling to put food on the table.
These programs aren’t just “wants”—they are lifelines for millions of people.
A cut to mandatory spending isn’t just a number on a balance sheet—it’s the difference between living with dignity and struggling to survive.
Why it matters:
Social Security: Over 65 million Americans depend on Social Security. 1 in 5 seniors live below the poverty line without it.
Medicare & Medicaid: Healthcare costs are a major burden—Medicare helps elderly and disabled Americans stay healthy. Medicaid supports the low-income population.
Food Stamps: 34 million Americans rely on food assistance, especially children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
What you can do:
Share this post to raise awareness—especially if you know someone who relies on these programs.
Contact your representatives and let them know that cutting these programs is unacceptable.
Stay informed—educate yourself and others about the real impact of these proposed cuts.
The more we know, the better we can fight for what’s right. Let’s make sure our voices are heard.
