What you should know about Social Security and Medicare
Socialism Is Legal Plunder - “The Law” - Frederic Bastiat
We’ve been plundered by SOCIALISTS for their unsustainable SOCIALIST SCHEMES.
“Everything about socialism is sham and affectation.” - 23.11; Ch23 Evil; Economic Harmonies; Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850)
Our children and grandchildren are born into DEBT SLAVERY.

News flash. Social Security and many of the other “off the books net obligations” are not “owed” in any typical financial or legal understanding of the terms. They are politically determined payouts that can be reduced or even ended at the will of the politicians or voters. The lefties are getting slick about running up obligations and then claiming their promises are a binding and obligation. Just see the posts on FR calling SS an intergenerational sacred obligation.
Then again even sovereign debt obligations may not be airtight.
See the words of Jefferson for a good explanation as to what obligations succeeding generations are under for repaying the debt of previous generations.
A 25% tariff would balance the budget year over year.
What we need is for men like Donald Trump to occupy the White House till the coming of the Lord.
I’m not worried. Once we lasso that gold asteroid we will all be billionaires.
I don’t know where 34 trillion comes from. Even after considering the interagency debt it’s only approaching 21 trillion dollars. But he’s right about the percent so I’m sure there is an explanation. Maybe a typo.

Was sent this. Expect more taxes to pay for the debt.

Tax his cigars,Tax his beers,If he cries Tax his tears.
Tax his car,Tax his gas,Find other ways to tax his ass.
Tax all he has then let him know that you won’t be done till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers;Then tax him some more,Tax him till he’s good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,Tax his grave,Tax the sod in which he’s laid...
Put these words upon his tomb,’Taxes drove me to my doom...’
When he’s gone,Do not relax,Its time to apply the inheritance tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What in the heck happened?
Can you spell ‘politicians?’

Our local newspaper had an article how Housing and Urban Development has agreed to subsidized rent for a gay pick-up bar in our town.
And we wonder why America is going bankrupt.
Snore
Nobody cares
Where this will really hit first is States and cities. Which will go broke
You can’t pay folks not to work
Secure the border.
Kick alien freeloaders out.
Get better trade agreements.
Stop paying other countries’ bills.
Get the government off of the backs of American businesses.
Those 5 things would help.
Those 5 things are at the top of the Trump agenda that is repeatedly blocked by the GOPe.
2% General Govt and Law Enforcement
16% Military
6% Debt Payments
24% Total Budget
76% Transferring $$$ from Tax Payers to Non Tax Payers (Democrats).
We could pay off the debt in 2 years.
Or
We could pay off the debt in 5 years with SS payments
Or
We could pay off the debt in 10 years addition Medicare/Medicare
Leadership is needed, not promises.
Collapse is inevitable. Just keep the scam going until I’m dead.
We are stuck with little hope of getting back on track because “we the people” have allowed our politicians to kick the can, avoid hard decisions, and “compromise” now means that each side gets the money they want thereby enriching themselves, their friends (donors), and their groups.
It is immoral, illegal (yes, it is), unconstitutional, and unethical to do this to our children and grandchildren, but few seem to care and most are unaware of the danger we face. The most certain way to lose a political race is to talk about it and if the GOP (big spenders in their own right) did the right thing they would be voted out of power immediately.
The policies of Trump have prolonged the day of reckoning, but our children and grandchildren will pay an enormous price in their lifetimes for the spending of the last few decades. Sadly, we have almost nothing to show for it either. Social security has become a welfare system, a piggy bank to raid, and it has always been a Ponzi scheme.
We are witnessing generational theft on a magnitude that is beyond our comprehension and the boomers will die off leaving an economic catastrophe for the nation all the time screaming - but “they (the people they voted for) promised us!” My generation, children of the boomers have voted for it too. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it is the truth. The public schools have not taught basic economics and therefore people do not understand the generational theft of socialism promoted by the uniparty politicians.
Then STOP paying billions on illegals for court personnel, jails, food-stamps, school expansion, hospital emergency rooms, and increased section 8 housing etc etc etc. for these damn illegals.
Maybe we should spend that money getting our debt down - and not feeding the fat silly egos of our corrupt stupid 'elites'.... Yes, allow Rachel Maddow to cry for 5 minutes - it's cheaper than destroying the country so snowflakes can 'feel' they're compassionate.
Maybe we should cut our costs and give each illegal a first class plane ticket home... and a month at the spa of their choice.
Hey, come on - the Leftists’ bribery o9f the electorate in order to stay in power is expensive.
Why It Is Time to Reform Compensation for Federal Employees
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) estimates that taxpayers will spend $337 billion in 2017 employing civilian federal employees.[6] The CBO’s estimates of the compensation premium imply that taxpayers would save $47 billion that year if the government paid its employees according to market rates.
