I was the first and only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

We are talking about an extremely vulnerable population.

I do not know when you were a legislator if you ever helped a constituent try to get through the SSI and that disability process, but it takes years, which is insane to begin with, and now you will make it even harder.
