      1. I think entitlement cuts (medicare, medicaid, social security) are going to be a much bigger thing than people realize.

      2. Entitlement cuts are core feature of making Trump-onomics work.

      3. Trumpanomics: tax cuts for wealthy, tax cuts for infrastructure, more military spending. How to pay for this? Entitlement cuts.

      4. The alternative of course is to just run up a huge deficit. Which I don't think Trump would mind but Paul Ryan & McConnell would.

      5. There's an inherent tension between Paul Ryan (Koch Bros.) GOP & Trump GOP. That's going to be the coming fight.

      6. "GOP doesn't really care about deficits" is one common response. Fair enough: but entitlement cuts a long-term GOP project.

      7. Remember how Bush embraced social security privatization in 2005 -- to political disadvantage. Why? Because its long term goal.

      8. Paul Ryan has put up with a lot of crap to get his unitary government. He's not going to let it go to waste.

          Push-back is gonna be huge, judging by the olds I see on FB. Forewarned is forearmed as the threat is disseminated.

          Don't you think entitlement cuts will be wildly unpopular?
