Trump is the only one capable of preventing an economic disaster.

[trebb]

Trump is a multi-tasker and has been working hard on the issues even as the fur flies...

[Jack Hammer]

Cutting taxes means cutting government - watch and wait for the pols’ screams of protest.

Good....hope with SS one way is lift the cap off. (Meaning, once you make so much, I think around 120,000 you do not pay SS on the rest so say you make 450,000 you are only taxed on the first 120,000 you make).
Also hope he will kick those that did not pay into SS out! The word Refugees comes to mind for 1. People are claiming disabilities that I do not think truly have so scamming needs to be done away with. Please do away aid to anchor babies as well.

Trump has apparently reached the conclusion that the American public is no longer able to face the truth about the inevitable collapse of Soc Sec and Medicare.

If I were running for president and wanted to win, I'd probably make the same promises he is making.

while also saving Social Security, Medicare, and other government safety-net programs.

Save them?

Where is the Constitutional authority for them even to exist? Nowhere, of course ...

Privatize or abolish. "Saving" them is just attempting to polish a turd.

Yes taxes and regulations are killing many U.S. businesses.

And Trump is a business man and he wants to cut many taxes and regulations for business .He understands how business work.

Go Trump!And many here call him a liberal. When did a liberal or democrat ever propose to cut taxes and regulations? Never that’s when.

Cut taxes and regulations across the board while also saving Social Security, Medicare, and other government safety-net programs.

What a great idea. I wonder why no other politician ever came up with this.

[GOPJ]

Trump’s going to win this one.

[Neoliberalnot]

If he can rid the nation of the Obamacare nightmare, he will save the country. Really, this massive veiled welfare increase should be issue #1. Get rid of it, and Trump will surely be reelected.

[Laser_Ray]

Someone should get it through Trump’s head that SocSec is HOPELESSLY unsalvageable without a dramatic turnaround in the (white Christian) birthrate. When 2 kids is the average family size, which is already under the replacement rate*, even without the Baby Boomers flooding the retirement system we’re already heading for unsustainability.

*Much as I hate to say this between illnesses, accidents, violence and just growing up to be a useless crook you need 3 kids per family to actually reach a stable population.

[Sam Gamgee]

His approach on social security is basically taking the safe way out. He knows suggesting reform is political suicide.

As for taxes, is it wise to take even more “takers” off the tax rolls, and increase the base of the Democratic party?

[Salvation]

Yes! TTTT!

[BigEdLB]

Remove the grouse from the list. - Platform committee amendment

[metmom]

Because he understands economics.

That’s how he became a billionaire.

[9YearLurker]

It’ll all be for nought if the House passes one of their disastrous amnesty bills—which will only be worse by the Senate, btw.

[NorthMountain]

saving Social Security, Medicare, and other government safety-net programs.

Nonsense. A Ponzi Scheme cannot be saved, and government has no constitutional authority to operate a pension plan even if it were run properly.
