Cut and pasted:
"This year Social Security payments are $32.7 billion higher since Trump took office.
The increased costs are driven mainly by nearly 1.3 million new beneficiaries in the past year and a mandated 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment. DOGE says it is rooting out fraudulent claims and cutting staff, but Trump has promised to leave benefits untouched.
Medicare and Medicaid spending are similarly outpacing levels from a year ago, growing by about $29 billion since the inauguration. Increased enrollments and rising healthcare costs are helping fuel this growth. Combined, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid accounted for roughly 43% of federal spending in the last fiscal year."
