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?

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...

Doc Brown Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I said when Trump was first elected that he's too much like Obama that when his party doesn't control both houses he'll resort to executive orders (but on steroids). The power will continue to be shifted to the executive branch because of the increased polarization in both parties incentives Congress gridlock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Trump walks out of news conference after reporter asks him about Veterans Choice lie he's told more than 150 times Trump, speaking at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club, had claimed again that he is the one who got the Veterans Choice program passed -- adding, "They've been trying to get that passed for decades and decades and decades and no president's ever been able to do it, and we got it done." In fact, former President Barack Obama signed the Choice program into law in 2014. The law, which allowed eligible veterans to be covered by the government for care provided by doctors outside the VA system, was a bipartisan initiative spearheaded by two senators Trump has repeatedly criticized, Bernie Sanders of Vermont and the late John McCain of Arizona. What Trump signed was a 2018 law, the VA MISSION Act, that modified and expanded the eligibility criteria from the Choice program. Rather than tout that bill, Trump has claimed over and over that he created Veterans Choice itself -- after others had failed for "50 years." "Why do you keep saying that you passed Veterans Choice?" CBS News White House correspondent Paula Reid asked Trump at the Saturday news conference, during which Trump announced executive actions on coronavirus relief. As Trump tried to call on another reporter instead, Reid continued, "You said that you passed Veterans Choice. It was passed in 2014...it was a false statement, sir." https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/08/politics/trump-veterans-choice-paula-reid/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief, give them a place to type their thoughts, and they'll tell you exactly who they are. The left probably couldn't be any more racist if they really really tried. I don't know if it's funnier, or scarier, that they don't realize their own racism. What is the common theme; the soft-biggotry of the "Left". Is it really all that 'soft', anymore? The projection is off the charts. It's this kind of schiff that has the more intelligent on the left 'walking away'. I'd be embarrassed if I were on the 'left', at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the need for it, but they have to realize that many, if not most, rent-houses are owned by individuals; and if they don't pay rent, I can't pay mortgage on said rental property.

ALF Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 New York Times: White House reached out to South Dakota governor about adding Trump to Mount Rushmore According to a person familiar who spoke with the Times, Noem then greeted Trump when he arrived in the state for his July Fourth celebrations at the monument with a four-foot replica of Mount Rushmore that included his face. According to a 2018 interview with Noem, the two struck up a conversation about the sculpture in the Oval Office during their first meeting, where she initially thought he was joking. "I started laughing," she said. "He wasn't laughing, so he was totally serious." Trump also toyed with the idea of adding himself to Mount Rushmore in 2017 at a campaign rally in Youngstown, Ohio. A White House official noted to the New York Times that Mount Rushmore is a federal, not a state monument. https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/09/politics/mount-rushmore-trump-south-dakota/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
