Biden tried to make it seem as if all R's are for cutting SS and Medicaire while no D's would ever consider it. For the dumbed down public the takeaway would be I can't vote Republican(as if it farking matters) cause I won't get SS or Medicaire.

I thought the best part of the whole charade was MTG walking around with the white balloon.

What Republicans have actually said about cuts to Social Security and Medicare

President Biden drew a raucous response from Republicans during his State of the Union address on Tuesday night when he said some GOP lawmakers want to cut Social Security and Medicare. “Anybody who doubts it, contact my office. I’ll give you a copy of the proposal,” he said as Republican...

Republicans' Public Opposition To Social Security And Medicare

A poll a week before the election about Repoublican social and economic policy is a red flag for Republicans, 60 percent of Americans would prefer to reverse the Republican 2017 tax cuts than cut spending on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

SS was always going to be a problem long term. I would like to see all government employees Congress critters all of em get dumped into SS and get rid of what they currently have. Then we will see who opens their mouth.

Your links mostly cover the same three people having made informal comments about the fact that something will in fact eventually have to be done about SS.

That's hardly, "the republicans are gonna take your SS away", as we were led to believe by our fearless potatus potato the other night.


If you know a problem is coming, isn't wise to at least start discussing the possibilities, and to do so well before it is at the point of imminence?


If the tranny (commonly used term for the transmission in your car that has been hi-jacked by the the idiot woke leftards) in your car starts making clunking sounds as it shifts, but for now will still get you to work, would it not be considered smart to begin planning for its eventual repair and, if necessaty, replacement?

Or ya gonna wait until the day it is mission critical that you get somewhere, only to have it finally die on ya and then get upset because you can't find a mechanic to fix it on the spot?

That is what our choices are on SS.

From one of your links:
By law, Social Security cannot contribute to the federal deficit, because it is required to pay benefits only from its trust funds.

The part they leave out is the fact that the "trust fund" is 100% "invested" in US government debt.

Debt that the US gov pays out of the general fund that is itself funded by current tax receipts and additional debt.

When, not if, it gets to the point that the funds simply do mot exist to make the previously guarenteed SS payments, what should be done and when? Do we wait until that day comes to then worry about it? That seems to be what the bidet and company want to do.
 
Also, keep in mind that the US gov debt that currently funds SS will itself be paid off by the gov issuing even more new debt.

SS currently holds over three trillion in bonds. That means that SS will not be a buyer of gov debt going forward. That is one less customer buying our debt. Add in that the biggest buyers of our debt have cut back or stopped buying altogether, who is gonna buy all the debt our gov will need to issue in order to keep all these programs afloat over the next Decade or so?
 
President Biden, while still a senator for Delaware, introduced legislation to sunset all federal programs, including Social Security and Medicare, Fox News Digital has learned.

In 1975, while Biden was in the upper chamber of Congress, the now-president put forward a bill requiring all federal programs to sunset after four years.

When pushing his bill as a senator, Biden said "it requires every program to be looked at freshly at least once every four years."

Its a show for the dumb masses.

Looks like our potato in chief is one of 'em. Good thing orange man bad isn't still there, huh? Lol lol lol

Pretty funny that the bidet you like is on record as wanting to end it and Trump is firmly on your side in this, as he is clearly on the record for not touching SS, yet you'll still hate him for it?

Better to act crazy than be crazy, as the one got now clearly shows signs of being. People don't call him dementia Joe for nothin', after all. Lol

It was wrong for Joe B to talk trash about a great American program like SS. But he saw the error of his ways and changed. Now he champions SS. He has made amends.

I think if both of them were to take an actual mental health evaluation Trump might not do too well. But then again, just my opinion.

One thing I've considered............are they both using docs who give them performance enhancing drugs before they do interviews?
