He was far left during covid and all about tyranny an big government pending… big government and corporate alliances to erase freedom.
So of course his is all for the denial of mathematical reality in exchange for personal gin.
Ht kind of constitutional freedom lover would ever again vote for someone who blessed mail in ballots, masking, truly restrictions, big Parma billions off taxpayer tables, no freedom of assembly (unless you are burning cities) and bumpstock bans.
That record is antithetical to the bill of rights. Antithetical to freedom.

And that’s why our country is doomed. Voters don’t want to hear it and politicians don’t want to say it. We cannot continue down the path we are on with spending.

“ There is no reasonable hope for US federal government finances if deep cuts on outlays are not soon made in CMS.”

I have an alternative: instead of cutting aid to America’s seniors through Social Security and Medicare, cut foreign aid, foreign war spending (Ukraine money laundering) and services for illegals. Also, if we’re still running short after all that, raise taxes on Disney and other big corporations. Most of them are terminally woke, and many used their tax breaks from the Paul Ryan tax cuts to send subsidies to BLM and other subversive organizations. Also, start taxing hedge fund billionaires, as Trump proposed when he ran in 2016.

How about cutting the money allotted to the house and senate members first

“ We cannot continue down the path we are on with spending.”

Then start with no more spending on Ukraine

No more spending for illegals

No more foreign aid

After all that, repeal Paul Ryan’s tax cuts for huge work corporations. Many of them gave money to BLM. I’d rather tax then more and give the money to law abiding seniors through NOT cutting their Social Security and Medicare

Woke not work

Repeal Ryan’s tax cuts for big woke corporations. Disney and the rest. Do that before even thinking about cutting Social Security, which is relied on by many people who voted for Trump!!!

IF we can’t even talk about revamping, maybe even being able to opt out of SS, then this country is doomed to more and more socialism and eventually communism.

So what if they are? Let’s discuss the merits & accusations of the article and whether they are correct or not.

The Democrats are just quoting Republicans who call for cutting Medicare and Social Security. In recent weeks, those calls have come from Mitch, Thune, Lindsey, Romney, among others. And of course Paul Ryan. Trump has been telling Republicans for years to cut other programs and stop talking about cutting Social Security and Medicare. He’s right

Basically, the Dims quote the RINO's who are never into true conservatism anyway. They push the third rail issues for the sole purpose of making the GOP look bad knowing the the Drive By Media will stick it on folks like Trump.

It actually isn’t a bad program, although not perfect, and better than many employer provided plans.

National Debt increase under Trump’s 4 years was $8 TRILLION ($20T to $28T) a record increase of 40%.

He needs to quit hiding behind Social Security and announce one thing he’s willing to cut, if he has one, at all.

He wants to stop our war spending in Ukraine

He wants to stop subsidizing illegals

He wants to cut our payments to NATO, since the member countries pay next to nothing

Correct!!!!

The base Social Security (for 66 years and over) and Medicare (for 66 years and over) are what Trump does NOT want cut...

Other programs under SS and Medicare are what needs reduced or cut, such as for illegal aliens, welfare from refusal to work, Medicaid, etc...

In retrospect, he shouldn’t have signed onto Paul Ryan’s tax cut for corporations. That helped balloon the debt and gave woke executives extra cash that they filed out in fat bonuses and -many of them - in subsidies to BLM and , now, payments to fly women employees to abortion mills.

Not a bad few months?
1. Supported Botox Romney to continue to screw up the party.
2. First campaign appearance is with despicable Linseed Graham.
3. He should top it off by naming a few more losers he would have in his administration.

No Republican is opting to cut Medicare or SS. Having a discussion about the two is not supporting any cuts.
