Social Security Update: Mike Johnson Explains Elon Musk's and GOP's Goals

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. ohnson-explains-elon-musk-s-and-gop-s-goals.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Sunday, March 2nd 2025 at 16:20 GMT by MSN}

The House speaker said the GOP, alongside Musk, is working to eliminate government inefficiencies and improve the country's fiscal affairs.

The article from MSN discusses House Speaker Mike Johnson's comments on the GOP's and Elon Musk's shared goals regarding Social Security. Johnson, speaking at a GOP retreat, highlighted the need for fiscal responsibility, suggesting that the current trajectory of Social Security spending is unsustainable. He mentioned that both he and Elon Musk, who has publicly criticized the U.S. government's spending, believe in the necessity of addressing the national debt, which includes reevaluating entitlement programs like Social Security. Johnson emphasized that while the intention isn't to cut benefits for current recipients, reforms are necessary to ensure the program's longevity for future generations. This aligns with Musk's views on reducing government expenditure to manage the country's financial health. The discussion comes at a time when there is increasing debate over how to manage the looming insolvency of Social Security, with various proposals on the table from both sides of the political spectrum.
