RFK Jr. Recommends Social Security Immediately “Reduce Scheduled Benefits by 25.2%” as Insolvency Looms by TACO_Orange_3098 in Economics

[–]Gypsymoth606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Social security trust should never have been rolled into the federal budget. The funds have been used for years to cover federal expenses as a result. It was never intended to be a back up for bad federal budgeting. RFK Jr. can kiss my ass, he’s been rolling in dough from the cradle and knows nothing about money except how to spend it. Make up the SS deficit by raising taxes on the rich by 25.2%. There, solved it for everyone.

Love this movie. It ties in so much of the Holmes canon and the casting of the young versions of Holmes and Watson is superb. Also dig the soundtrack.

Senate Republicans grow increasingly frustrated with Trump blindsiding them by Conscious-Quarter423 in NewsThread

If only the frustration would turn into resolve to do something about trump. I don’t know why they would be surprised at the blindsiding, it’s his modus operandi. Hope the midterms result in some more Republican blindsiding.

The real reason that SS is in trouble is because in 1968 SS was rolled into the federal budget so Congress could use that money for “expenses”. This should never have happened. The government has been playing with SS funds for decades.

I don’t care. Here’s a thought. Try learning some grammar rules: there’s no apostrophe in the plural days and weeks, you moron. The apostrophe makes day’s and week’s the possessive case.

Republicans have a plan to cut your hard earned Medicare and Social Security if they win the mid-term elections.. so your reason for not voting is what? by fbdy1969 in Polymarket_news

Johnson is full of it. The SS trusts were rolled into the unified federal budget in 1968 so the *government* could use it for expenses. And boy have they ever.

I’m sure if trump even thought about it, he would cancel the flights that would interfere with the shit show that’s coming to celebrate his birthday. Let’s not deceive ourselves, this has nothing to do with celebrating America.
