Former President Donald Trump laid pressure on Republicans in Congress not to cut Medicare and Social Security.
Trump said the Washington bureaucrats should bear the pain of President Biden’s reckless spending on “left-wing lunacy,” not senior citizens.

Let’s see.. we are giving money to....
Ukraine...
Illegals...
Drug addicts...
Common drunks....
But the only place to cut funds is from those that actually paid into it????
How stupid do you have to be?
Thank you JBW. ( 1949 was I good year, born in March).
That link is now saved.
That's your way of saying that you don't want Trump.
Politically, Trump is correct.
However, both political parties are intent on dragging us right into a third-world country. As the middle class (those that actually produce), are crushed under massive inflation and debt, there will be no one to keep our country afloat.
Our debt might have been manageable after the housing market crash of 2008, if Obama hadn’t greatly increased the national debt. Back then the Feds kept interest rates low in order to boost Obama, and we are now paying greatly for their actions. You can’t have fewer producers and more money being poured into the system. In exchange for the money, something has to be produced. Trump had created that delicate balance and the economy was growing.
With the FEDS now trying to correct, while working against an administration that insists on printing more money daily, they are playing a loosing game. I don’t trust any of the economic numbers the government is officially reporting. Inflation is not going down and it is not going to for as long as we remain on the current path.
As crime increases in urban cities, and companies move out, the gangs expand their territory outside of the urban areas. Then, more and more people are going to give up on calling LEOs, and just take care of the matter themselves. Especially since “woke” prosecutors return the criminals to the street as quickly as possible. Cancer spreads rapidly if not treated. That’s the situation we are now in.
In short, given the above and several other issues, we are screwed!
“How about instead of ‘cutting’ Social Security you limit people to getting out of it only what they’ve paid into it?”
Social Security has not and will not destroy the country after all these many years.
There are many problems brought on by democrats that will destroy the country that need to be tended to first.
January 4th for me...Just hit 74...
Another one who doesn't like the subject.
it's the same subject, but a different article.
Common practice.
If you noticed Trump’s actions from 2016 to 2020, you’ll know that he is NOT a “professional politician”...His actions were FOR America and the American people...
WE NEED HIM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How about we cut Ukraine out of our budget and take care of Americans first? We can rescue Americans instead of funding NWO foreign wars.
Good idea. Most Americans actually paid something in for their work. Ukraine did not.
Me too, in December 1949
It was a very good year!!!!!!!!!!...LOL
Robbing peter to pay paul is not a wise investment scheme.
So mothers who have stayed home to raise their children get nothing?
Cheer up. Things are looking great for Trump. Biden is being dismantled and put down like an old dog as we speak. Mini-MAGA is doing his FLA thing and hiding out until ‘28. The future is bright for MAGA and TRUMP!!!
YES, it was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... Heh.
That is exactly what I am looking for...On top of that, I’d like to see Jim Jordan as DeSantis’ VP....

The Design of the Original Social Security Act
The new social insurance program the Committee on Economic Security (CES) was designing in 1934 was different than welfare in that it was a contributory program in which workers and their employers paid for the cost of the benefits—with the government’s role being that of the fund’s administrator, rather than its payer. This was very important to President Roosevelt who signaled early on that he did not want the federal government to subsidize the program—that it was to be “self-supporting.” He would eventually observe: “If I have anything to say about it, it will always be contributed, both on the part of the employer and the employee, on a sound actuarial basis. It means no money out of the Treasury.”
Oh, okay, we’ll just go broke then. That will be much better.
Sure, let’s keep stealing from our children and grandchildren because it’s good politics.
So, no. Raise your children, then hope for a room in their house when you become their dependent.
