Social Security, Medicare are "going to be gone," Donald Trump warns Story by Hollie Silverman • 3d ago
President Donald Trump warned Tuesday that if the Democrats don’t approve funding, there are dangers to the future of Social Security and Medicare.
Trump said at a press conference that when he asked Democrats for feedback on the funding bills, one said, “It means death.”
“There’s nothing about death,” Trump said. “Theirs is death because they’re going to lose Medicaid, they’re going to lose Social Security, they’re going to lose Medicare, all of those things are going to be gone because the whole country would be bankrupt, and you’re not going to have any kind of medical insurance.”
Why It Matters
A point of contention leading to the government shutdown is the Democrats’ refusal to accept a funding bill that would cut health care provisions, which many Republicans argue fund medical care for illegal aliens.
Social Security and Medicare represent vital support for tens of millions of Americans, especially retirees, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. As of late 2024, Social Security provided monthly benefits to about 53 million Americans—nearly 16 percent of the U.S. population. Medicare and Medicaid similarly underpin health insurance availability for seniors, low-income people, and many vulnerable groups.
Any potential reduction or administrative change to these programs has far-reaching implications for millions who rely on them for basic income or health care needs.
Federal funding gaps have become more frequent in the last 30 years, according to the Congressional Research Service, which added that the issues are often triggered by fights over budget policy and partisan spending demands.
Donald Trump Issues Warning on Social Security, Medicare: What We Know
Trump warned at the press conference that if an agreement is not reached with the Democrats, programs like Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare will be in danger. There are currently no changes to Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid as the government shutdown, which just reached its third week, continues.
The president added of Democrats, “We will not be extorted on this crazy part of this. They’ve never done this before. Nobody has. You always vote for an extension.”
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Newsweek in a statement on Tuesday, “Democrats chose to shut down the government because they want to give free health care to illegal aliens. They can choose to reopen the government at any point by supporting the bipartisan CR they voted for just six months ago. The Trump Administration is working day and night to mitigate the pain Democrats are causing.”
Is it possible to still keep Windows 10 alive for a few more years?
One more year for sure by just logging in with a Microsoft account. Enroll in the 1 free year of security updates and log back into your local user account. That is what I did.
Otherwise, you can try and find a specific version of Windows 10 enterprise edition and get security updates up to 2032. But good luck getting your hands on that.
Thanks. Ya I doubt I could ever find the Win10 Ent Ed. now.
Windows 11 version 23H2 will stop getting security updates on November 11, 2025. If you’re still running this version, released back in October 2023, your PC won’t receive the monthly patches that protect it from new bugs and security threats after that date.
As it is, for those who did update to Windows 11, it is just like it always has been. There will always be new versions. The lie they said back when they were trying to get everyone over to Win 10 about it being the final and just need updates for security, etc, seems more like a lie now than ever before.

Microsoft rolls out a new Windows 11 update every year, and each version stays supported for about two years. With 24H2 now the current release and 25H2 on the way, 23H2 is officially being phased out. If you’re already on Windows 11, updating is free and only takes a few minutes. Here’s how I checked my version and made sure my PC was up to date and protected.
You'll stop receiving monthly security patches after November 11, 2025 if you stay on version 23H2. These patches protect against newly discovered vulnerabilities and security threats.
Your PC remains functional but increasingly vulnerable as time passes without security updates. Cybercriminals actively target unpatched systems because known vulnerabilities remain exploitable.
No Extended Security Updates are available for outdated Windows 11 versions like there are for Windows 10. The only way to stay protected is updating to a current version.

Still more small fixes to basically just audio issues lately. But as of yesterday, I included a new empty water jar image in the mods pack that better matches the new glass jar changes in v2.0. If you have downloaded the mods pack a little while ago, I encourage you to download it again.

I don't know if you are aware of this. But if you have a Microsoft account setup for Windows 10, you can get another year of free security updates. So, you don't have to leave Windows 10 just yet. As for Windows 11? It will be a very cold day in hell before I will install that junk on any of my computers.
If anything, you can keep Windows 10 and just setup a Virtual machine partition and install Linux on that.

You want my 2 cents on this? If anyone saw or remembers the movies "The Matrix" or "The Terminator" or "iRobot" those story tellers have portrayed scenarios of what could possibly happen when AI is left unchecked. Corporate and Government greed could very well allow something of that magnitude to potentially happen. So, if you are asking, am I afraid of the future of AI? Your damn straight, I am!
There are 2 options that you can use. First is the default way.
#1. C:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/7 days to die/Mods/
Second way and the way you should be installing mods is like this.
#2. C:/Users/"Your User Name"/AppData/Roaming/7DaysToDie/Mods/
While using the default way, you will have to use caution NOT to delete or over-write the 0_TFP_Harmony file. If you do, the game won't run, and you will have to verify file integrity to get it back. The second way keeps everything simple, neat and tidy. If you're into world or prefab editing, your work will be saved here. So, no need to go searching around for anything. And if you delete your Mods folder from here, no harm will come to your game.
By the way. I have been posting progress updates on the discord channel covering all the fixes I have been making along the way. I am still finding small bugs and patching them as I go. Most are just tiny .xml changes and won't affect the server's clients. When you see the mods pack date change on the steam server browser page, that is when you need to download the latest pack.
