I have an extremely urgent and important message for Republicans, conservatives and anyone else who wants the Fascist Democrat Party out of power: STOP TALKING ABOUT CUTTING SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE. Don’t lecture me about how they are insolvent. Don’t show me pie charts with discretionary and non-discretionary budget items. Don’t tell me it was a “Ponzi scheme” and we just need to get over it. Why? Because if you make those proposals, WE LOSE IN NOVEMBER, BIGLY, and the Fascist Democrats control the Presidency, the House and the Senate, they will do away with the filibuster, they will pack SCOTUS with Marxist critical legal theory zealots, and they will utterly destroy what is left of our nation. The promise we must make to voters is that the US government will honor its commitments to those who have paid into Social Security and Medicare, and we will fix the system by cutting other spending and coming up with a more workable plan for young people who are just entering the work force. If you suggest anything else, WE LOSE and the country is gone. Be smart. You have to get elected to be able to create change, and any message other than what I just said means we don’t get elected.
@CynicalPublius They need to talk about keeping it solvent instead. Raising the cap on contributions, and putting in an income cap on who can collect. People collecting hundreds of thousands per year in their retirement don't need to stress the system further by receiving a check.
@CynicalPublius I NEVER talk about cuts but I often point out that when it started, retirement was 65 and life expectancy 62. Most people were not expected to collect a dime. Today those numbers are 65 and 76. From there, it's just a math problem. But, you are correct.
@CynicalPublius Yeah, let's just kick the can further down the road. Paying more in interest on the debt than on national defense makes perfect sense. Let's wait until it totally eclipses all discretionary spending.
@CynicalPublius As usual you are completely right!
@CynicalPublius @Stephen26514061 most of that is regurgitation of msm media.
