You are not paying attention.  The just passed big ugly bill cuts
a half-trillion dollars from  medicare.  Not to mention the gutting
of medicaid, which will cause many rural hospitals to close outright.

Not gonna happen, just wishful thinking on your part.  Three million
people a year are joining Medicare (the last of the baby boomers),
65 million or so at the moment, and one million a year are leaving.
That is a huge voting block.  And seniors vote in the USA.

Sorry but no.  Trump is trying to fix the sins of the last 30 years but
I do not think that they are fixable.  Congress is trying to spend even
more money than we don't have.

 If he were doing /that/, he would be insisting on taxing the rich to
reduce the National Debt. And shore up Social Security.

Sigh.  Your mantra of taxing the rich grows tiring.
Many people of gone through the numbers, taking every penny of the rich will not be even close to fixing the USA debt.
The only way to fix the debt problem through taxes is to tax the middle class to death.  And the uniparty is rightfully scared to do so.
So, the only way to fix the debt is to reduce the USA government back to its stated rules of the USA Constitution.  But the uniparty does not want to do that either as they have made promises that the USA pocketbook cannot meet.
So, the financial apocalypse of the USA approaches as that is the default option.
