Yep. She was a terrible candidate. So terrible she lost to a guy who had no idea what he was doing and actually was probably mad that he won. 


Ha. I always thought that.  When he officially won he was “awwwww *****!!”

This isn't true at all. This is the BIG LIE. But what isn't a lie is the GOP is gonna take back the House, likely the Senate and stop the Biden socialist agenda. Put your mask back on, get your 5th booster shot. Scary times are ahead for you.

And now ladies and gentlemen an add from Fox News.

"The Republican Study Committee, the largest group of House Republicans, released a budget plan in June that called on lawmakers to gradually raise the Medicare age of eligibility to 67 and the Social Security eligibility to 70 before indexing both to life expectancy. It backed withholding payments to those who retired early and had earnings over a certain limit. And it endorsed the consideration of options to reduce payroll taxes that fund Social Security and redirect them to private alternatives. It also urged lawmakers to “phase-in an increase in means testing” for Medicare."

 

Raise the eligibility age and cut the funding. But don't you worry! They will make sure to keep those taxes low for their rich donors and corporations.

 

The best part is that, in order to force these changes, they will threaten to tank the economy:

"The four Republicans interested in serving as House Budget Committee chairman in the next Congress said in interviews that next year’s deadline to raise or suspend the debt ceiling is a point of leverage if their party can win control of the House in the November midterm elections."

Do you feel SS and Medicare are fine as they are and don’t need to be updated?

Say what? I distinctly remember when Joe Biden, in one of his first presidential bids, offered this exact same solution to Social Security solvency in a debate. I thought it made a lot of sense back then, and I still do now. Social Security, as originally constructed, is impacted by the generational birth rate and the increasing age of the senior population. It definitely needs to be tweaked now and then to stay afloat. I've held this position no matter which party is in charge....and so did a much younger Joe Biden.  Nothing to see here!

I think that the focus should be on fixing and expanding them. The GOP approach is to cut funding for programs that help Americans. Whatever the problem we are facing, the solution is always: cut programs for working and average Americans and reduce taxes on corporations and the rich. 

 

Economy is bad? Cut programs for Americans, reduce taxes for the rich and corporations.

Economy is good? Cut programs for Americans, reduce taxes for the rich and corporations.

Inflation? Cut programs for Americans, reduce taxes for the rich and corporations.

War? Cut programs for Americans, reduce taxes for the rich and corporations.

Stubbed my toe? Cut programs for Americans, reduce taxes for the rich and corporations.

 

The approach to everything is to ensure that the rich and powerful have a larger share of the pie at the expense of the working schlubs.
