Many fear Republicans will turn to cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to offset upwards of $1 trillion in lost revenue for the tax bill.

Paul Ryan has been an advocate of cutting Social Security and Medicare so the tax bill maybe purposely designed by Republicans to explode the deficit. Then, when the deficit skyrockets, they will demand cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and other safety net programs. Since many people blame the poor and minorities for the deficits, they may be able to get away with the slight of hand.
