Johnson rules out entitlement cuts but 'waste and abuse' in Social Security will be targeted

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Meet the Press says cuts to federal entitlements like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are off the table but "we need to target" any "waste and abuse" Elon Musk finds.

This approach aims to address the financial sustainability of Social Security without directly impacting the benefits received by current and future beneficiaries.
