CNN ^ | 12/5/23 | Fredreka Schouten

As she woos her party’s wealthy donors, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is promoting a policy that sets her apart from her closest competitors for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination: A willingness to stake out positions on the politically fraught issue of overhauling the nation’s entitlement programs.

Are we learning a lesson about trusting government with anything? At all?

“We promise” is the biggest campaign speech lie.

When we gave up the right to SHOOT THEM IN THE FACE for doing what by Contract they have no right to do... We gave up the whole thing.

Here she is with absolutely no chance at the nomination, releasing this kind of controversial policy. If I didn’t know better I’d think she’s on the other team🤡

Sure way to lose votes from the voting bloc that votes the most.

Which is why I, and millions like me, despise the very ground these vile bassturd’s shadows fall on. Liars, Thieves, Crooks, Scoundrels, etc...the list is long.

"Touch my SS and I’ll shank you!"

You are free to continue to covet your socialism.

"You can thank the Republican Party under the GWB administration for that."

The whole point was to get everybody including conservatives to covet socialism. It worked. I blame FDR, BTW.

This starts with the voters. The voters simply do not want off of socialism. Take a look right here in the 100 replies of this very discussion. It's right here at FR.

They want socialism. Hence, we still have it.

No. They rightfully want the money back that they were forced to pay to the government.
