On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) defended his comments about taking glee in Tesla’s stock — which his state’s retirement fund owns shares of — falling and stated that “It’s a little bit personal.” But it’s also because CEO Elon Musk is “attacking the portfolios of working Minnesotans and working Americans who’ve paid into these programs that he calls a Ponzi scheme.”
Walz said, “It’s a little bit personal. I don’t want to be disingenuous. The guy does bother me. It’s a little bit personal. But look, my beef on this is, is that this guy is out there crying about his portfolio and about stock, why I’m making a comment and my mom’s Social Security check this month is late, that he’s attacking the portfolios of working Minnesotans and working Americans who’ve paid into these programs that he calls a Ponzi scheme. He’s taking it and laughing with his chainsaw about destroying the lives and undermining things and institutions that make life better for Minnesotans. Of course, he doesn’t care about these agencies, because he has all this money. Can you imagine being the richest man in the world and taking offense that I said something about Tesla stock?

This makes no sense. Mask has not cut or lowered the SS benefits of anyone eligible to receive them. By cutting fraud and waste he is increasing the funds for those benefits. And yes, it is a Ponzi scheme.
Retard finder on Twitter will have a busy day with this one…
Try to imagine this imbecile being one heartbeat away from being President.
This clown thinks he’s filling a power vacuum. It’s great having these lunatics front and center. This pedo, Booker the fat fag, Cortez the commie, and the fake ghettopotaumus, all fabulous!
The Democrat party is the Amway of the public sector.
Never a coherent thought with this guy, huh?
HA
Waltz seems blissfully unaware that Social Security is, indeed, a Ponzi scheme and we taxpayers are on the hook to pay it, or at least our grandchildren are. A truly compassionate politician would acknowledge that and be working to fix it, not exploit it. The next generations are heading for a 100-year-old starting age.
He’s also equally ignorant of the Tesla stock value issue. He’s been ping-ponging so much on it that his ears must be bruised.
Would make quite the graphic standing side by side.
Didn’t he say,”Aw, I wuz just kidding.” when he first said this and got raked over the coals for it?
So, which is it - are you a lousy joker or a stopid politician....could be both, I suppose.
If a failed VP candidate yells in the forest, does anyone hear? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Having paid into the ss program for four decades plus, I am now receiving
the benefit.
I can't see ss being a ponzi when citizens knowingly pay into ss with the
realization they may not be entirely bereft in their old age.
I realize depending on the politicians not to screw ss up in the future isn't
feasible.
He really needs to shut up, or he’ll never get to run for President. Something the Republicans need him to do.
A generation will get screwed. The math doesn’t math. Age will raise. Payments get cut above a net worth threshold. Etc. Some who pay in won’t get theirs back. It’s a matter of time.
f'n liar.
My suggestion on fixing Social Security is simple. End it!
Pick an age say 50. Those above 50 be given a choice to remain in the program or opt out and have all your contributions moved to a 401K (type) savings.
Those below age 50 not given the option. They would have all their contributions moved to a 401K (type) savings.
Those currently receiving Social Security will have their benefits continued any shortfall coming from the general funds.
As the years go by there will be fewer individual on Federally funded social security.
Another change I would make, would be unlike existing 401K there would be no income tax on the money saved.
This is just a rough outline of one way to get the government out of retirement business.
Speaking of which, there should not be any government retirement. Government employees would have the same options as individual in private sector.
Disingenuous! Oh, and imbecile! Richard Simmons wanna be.
this guy again. we dodged a bullet
What a crappy excuse for a governor. Shows you RATs don’t care about the people. All they care about is their corrupt and warped ideology.
Kuncklehead is too nice for this leftard.
