Since so many big woke corporations are bragging about subsidizing abortions for their employees - even flying them to cities where they can get abortions - I’m for reversing the Paul Ryan tax cuts for big corps. These woke executives got tax cuts while Ryan complained about the benefits paid to seniors in Social Security and Medicare
Trump has never been a social or fiscal conservative.
He was for abortion before he was against it. He did not veto any big spending bills. Federal spending and national debt shot up significantly during his 4 years.
You’re really splitting hairs. Romney, Ryan, Mitch, Thune, Lindsey and the House Republican study committee have all called for cutting social security and Medicare. That’s a fact. Calling advocacy a “discussion” is to live in denial.
There is no other subject that proves how addictive and ingrained communism gets. Socialism security turns otherwise conservative people into raging leftwing commies.
The subject is untouchable. It’s nuts.
How old are you???? How long have you had a job???
“ national debt shot up significantly during his 4 years.”
Helped along by the Paul Ryan corporate tax cut that Trump signed. I’m for reversing that. Big corps are woke enemies to conservative Americans. A lot of them gave money to BLM. A lot of them are now bragging about helping their employees abortion their babies. So the money they got thru the Ryan tax cuts is going to good use!/s
Agree with the cuts to woke corporations.
However, those savings are microscopic compared to costs of the demographic imbalance and structural fraud (Structurally it’s a Ponzi Scheme!) of Social Security and Medicare.
At some point that will have to be addressed, now is not the time.
I’ve gotten a LOT more out of social security entitlements than I put in. Not saying my age, sorry.
It’s been great for me. But it’s pure communism anyway.
SOCIAL SECURITY has been paid into-—by most recipients
WELFARE is ONLY outgoing to recipients.
Point me to something specific he said, other than fluff. You're saying he actually has said we should stop sending any money over there? I need something more than a hint, or criticism of Democrats.
He wants to stop subsidizing illegals
He does? Again, point me to something specific he has said regarding cutting outflows to illegals in the last year. Name an entitlement program he officially put on notice, as targeted, not his general border wall agenda.
He wants to cut our payments to NATO, since the member countries pay next to nothing
OK, so 2 of the 3 things you mentioned he may want to cut are related to national defense, which isn't where we should necessarily start in my opinion.
Name some domestic social programs he's on record wanting to cut, if possible, please. Thanks.
Most people pay into any welfare they get. Not all that many have paid $0 taxes in their lives.
And I’m a great example of how you can get massive SS entitlement payments and not put that much in. It’s not that different than welfare at all.
Both are leftwing, started by socialists, and are plain socialism.
Well, goody for you....(Moving along now)
You sound like you’re ok with big spending on the military industrial complex (“national defense”, yeah, sure) - but by all means we have to cut Social Security for our seniors! In other words, typical neocon Republican talking points
Today Trump will become the Peace ☮️ candidate, and DeSantis isn’t.
So you have no US social programs, that you can name, at all, that Trump wants to cut.
OK, that matches my current understanding as well. So I guess we are in full agreement on the subject. Thanks.
Are you not paying attention?
There's tones of negative press against Ron DeSantis. "DeathSantis!" "Don't Say Gay!" "Don't Say Black!" "Trump, But Worse!"
Just a few headlines.
Let's focus on the Dems, with the multitude of critical issues regarding the many hot messes in which they leave us at the moment.
Can you give a number for your massive entitlement payments you claim to be getting??? $400, 700, 1000...just what?? Are you getting massive payments as you claim because you made high salaries in your life?? Or are you admitting you scammed the system??
Social security is a major part of some retirees income. And if that is socialism then I support that 100% as a lot of those older folks probably didn’t have high paying jobs during their lifetimes. They earned it and the politicians should leave it the he** alone.
I was on vacation last week and heard a talker that had this theory. Trump had recently said things that haven’t fit the MAGA bases desires. He played it off to Trump has been spending his days playing golf, mostly with non MAGA types. When he returns to his rallies, this guy expected him to get more back to the MAGA script.
