Anyone with the ability to think knows that entitlement programs cannot continue indefinitely on their current course. That doesn’t in any way assume you understand that as you are essentially a parrot for what the left tells you. Even Joe professed to know that at one time. I have an open mind on solutions. Glad he is rubbing GOP's nose in it now. That's funny he said it too, makes it even better! 1 1

It’s moments like this when I wish it was still semi-acceptable to use the word “######”. It’s not, so I won’t. Can’t stop me from thinking it though.

Translation….., now that he’s President he has completely flip flopped on an issue that because of his age will never affect him in an effort to retain power. Fantastic! 1 1
Tiberius Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 And he is clubbing the GOP over the head with it! Hey, you guys hate socialism SS and medicare are socialism 1

Tick, tick, tick ITs funny when they parrot that. Its some shady theory about us being in the 6th Mass extinction event. that supposedly is human caused and started with us. IE, we are the problem and reason for this mass extinction event. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/brv.12816 And based off this Book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sixth_Extinction:_An_Unnatural_History that was wrote in 2014 By Elizabeth Kolbert. Who is not a scientist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Kolbert But has a history of writing for such nonbiased sites as NYT and Wa Po. So that makes her the expert in this theory.

Doc Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 Thanks to Joke for finally killing this as a talking point by claifying that the Repubs don't want to get rid of them. Talk about an own goal. 1

With the audience for the claim being the voters. I think it was Jung that said "people cannot stand too much reality". Fortunately for them, denying reality is the core competency and guiding principle of the current administration. Edited February 9, 2023 by All_Pro_Bills 1 2

Joe Ferguson forever Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 https://thehill.com/finance/3850036-republicans-social-security-medicare-debt-ceiling/ This seems an accurate portrayal of top R's stance on medicare and SS. Scott was clearly targeted by Biden. I think scrapping everything every 5 years is nuts. Comments? 3

Those five fellas Ideas have some merit if the goal is to control cost to preserve it long term. I don't think ending it every five years does that. I do think they should be totally separate expenditure bills though. how, no effing clue. ****Also, I believe if you let people buy Medicare you actually fix two problems. you make that policy strong, and you help fix our problems with private insurance and medical cost by creating the low-cost government option.

I believe I read that it will be insolvent in less that 15 years, at the current rate. Ignoring this or demonizing folks who want to address it doesn’t fix the problem. 1
Tommy Callahan Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 Some parts of the country opted out of social security in the 80's . they created private accounts. and none of them have issues like SS and they pay out much better https://www.forbes.com/sites/merrillmatthews/2011/05/12/how-three-texas-counties-created-personal-social-security-accounts-and-prospered/?sh=4abe11933283
