I think we have had this discussion before. I agree that SS and Medicare


need to be cut, but the tax cuts just added $1.5 trillion or so to the needed cuts over the next 10 years, in addition to what was needed before. Ryan said a month or so ago that entitlement reform would be one of the first agenda items of 2018.

I personally won't need SS or medicare, but the majority of my family and non-UVA friends will. I think they are in for a rude surprise, since I don't see the government cutting the other big expenditure which is defense.

We will see.
