Pritzker has expressed skepticism regarding the Republican Party&#8217;s commitment to preserving Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. His comments followed the House&#8217;s passage of a budget resolution that raises the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/speaker-pelosi-promises-to-pass-bill-to-suspend-debt-limit\/\" title=\"Speaker Pelosi promises to pass bill to suspend debt limit\">federal debt ceiling<\/a> by $5 trillion while proposing $2 trillion in cuts. Pritzker emphasized that such significant financial adjustments could put social welfare programs at risk, despite claims from Speaker Mike Johnson that these programs would not be affected. He pointed out that reducing the deficit would likely target Medicaid, Medicare, or Social Security, especially given the Republicans&#8217; need to find an $880 billion cut. During his appearance on Fox News Sunday, he voiced concerns that the current governance does not show adequate respect for Social Security.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">JB Pritzker claims Trump has &lsquo;absolutely no respect&rsquo; for Social Security<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2080530\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Gov. <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jb-pritzker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">J.B.
