transplantbillsfan Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 The media doesn't need to do anything at all to paint Trump negatively. Just keep covering him during these Press Conferences and watch as he keeps flushing himself down the toilet.

That payroll tax holiday is something... if the Dems take him to court (and they probably should) how is that gonna look for the Democrats? Taking an EO to court that helps the middle class with a tax cut? He's put them between a rock and a hard place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 So Donald Trump is effectively saying he is planning to get rid of Social Security and Medicare and that he's pursuing an Executive Order mandating something that already exists under Obamacare, which he has vowed to destroy and is fighting in Court. All the while making these claims in front of patrons of his golf club--who pay his company hundreds of thousands of dollars each year--to make sure he has a friendly, supportive crowd. Setting aside the obvious constitutionality argument, the guy is such a moron. Keep it up Trump... your campaign to get Biden elected is going swimmingly well 8 minutes ago, Buffalo_Gal said: That payroll tax holiday is something... if the Dems take him to court (and they probably should) how is that gonna look for the Democrats?

Uh... yeah... fighting to preserve those will look just fine for Democrats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking an EO to court that helps the middle class with a tax cut? He's put them between a rock and a hard place. He's put them into a box in more ways than one. Same with Biden... I used to worry they really were going to try an 11th hour replacement of Biden, but they can't now. If they do, they'd be admitting Trump was right about No Chance Joe's noggin'. Sometimes it is 5-D chess. Other times not so much. ****************** Here's the reporter being unhinged, not ceding her time -- then Trump walking off like a boss. He should do that EVERY time.

ALF Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Coronavirus has already dealt a blow to Social Security's finances. Trump's payroll tax holiday could make it worse The entitlement programs' finances have long been troubled. And the crush of coronavirus-induced layoffs has only deepened the problem by slashing the amount of payroll tax revenue going into their trust funds. This isn't a far-off problem that retirees' grandchildren would face. If this economic downturn is as bad as the Great Recession a decade ago, then the Social Security trust funds could run out of money in 2029, according to the Bipartisan Policy Center. After that, beneficiaries could see a 31% cut in retirement payments. The program's trustees had projected earlier this year that the trust funds would be depleted in 2035, but that did not take the coronavirus pandemic into account There were nearly 13 million fewer people working in July than in February. Those folks and their former employers are no longer contributing the 12.4% combined tax for Social Security and the 2.9% total levy for Medicare. The situation is even more dire for the Medicare trust fund, which its trustees projected earlier this year would run out of money by 2026, not taking into account the pandemic. https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/07/politics/social-security-medicare-trump-payroll-taxes/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Biden was the c$ck of the walk in the senate for almost 50 of those years, and was the second most powerful man in the world for nearly a decade of that time. Where was Joe all that time? Feeding at the trough. Yet...he spent that time focusing on segregation, getting into bed with China, &$#@ing around with Ukrainian politics and treating congressional staffers like bowling ball. But yes, giving the people suffering the most from the coronavirus shutdown that isn’t a shutdown more money in their paychecks is THE problem with SS. The money taken out of the paychecks is stepped on more times than cheap Bolivian cocaine, with so many players getting their beaks wet before whatever pittance is left makes it way back to the people. The solution is simple—redirect taxpayer funded aid internationally to the taxpayer first. Edited August 8, 2020 by leh-nerd skin-erd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
