Can Trump Be Trusted With Social Security?

[Lesh]

Many people do not contribute to SS or Medicare. I was one for 10 years. It killed my SS payout amount.

Who would that be? Railroad employees , people who don’t work and don’t collect unemployment, rich people who get their income from capital gains sales etc…

The government cannot repay the loan without adding to the national debt.

Hasn't that been the case for some time now?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Not just Democrats. Sorry.

Your religion has been perverted. You sold your soul to a con man.

That's on you, not me.

A con man profits at the expense of others. In that case, Trump is an anti-con man as others benefit while he suffers.

Yes, so?

Trump suffers?

Bwahahaha

That is tough, I lost a close friend many years back to liver failure, he died waiting for a transplant.

I'm glad to hear you are doing better today.

I am still trying to get accustomed to retirement, 40+ years of working continuously and it's just really weird not having people depending on me every day.

When I retired, I arranged my life so I could get by on my SS. My monthly expenses are minuscule- electricity, garbage, phone and internet. I qualify for all the low-income senior citizen stuff on property taxes and health care, so in a weird way I might actually be better off without the SSDI benefit!

I was fortunate because I am Type B+ and a type B donor cannot be used by any other blood type for transplant as it will be rejected 100% of the time. They told me it would be many months for me to get one in February 2023. I got a call two weeks later than a young man on life support had a liver for me. Pure intervention from God is why I am here today.

The Democrats are using Putin's strategy; Persecuting their rival.

 

[ding]

Yes, so?

So apparently they can do it.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I am well versed on SSI since when I was of age, I have got it since then.

How much more do you get than your regular SS? Exactly how poor are you that you qualify?

Bullshit. He’d be in a gulag starving to death if that were true.

Is he?

Really? Then why was Trump the only casino to close in AC in 2004?

Declining revenues due to many other casinos as destinations, like I said. Atlantic City is no stranger to BK.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

The government cannot repay the loan without adding to the national debt. Something has to give or there will be no SSI for anyone.

SSI is a targeted program for people with disabilities and the poor. People normally never get SSI.

New Jersey Casinos | Atlantic City Casinos Through the Years

Atlantic City is the gambling capital of the East Coast, but it has a storied history. Here are AC's biggest ups and downs over the years.

The Rise of Borgata (2000 – 2010)​

But in 1999, Trump closed Trump Regency/World’s Fair after a few years of back-and-forth with the bank and filed bankruptcy on both his publicly traded company in 2004 and his private company, Trump Entertainment Resorts, five years later. However, it wouldn’t be until 2016 when all of Trump’s investments in Atlantic City would be owned by other property developers. For example, Trump Castle is the new home to Golden Nugget Atlantic City; Trump Taj Mahal is now the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City; and Trump Plaza was demolished in February 2021.

With Trump on the down and out, this left plenty of room for a new company to reign in AC. In 2003, Borgata opened as AC’s first-ever Las Vegas-style casino, thanks to the industry genius of casino mogul Steve Wynn. Borgata offered 200 card tables and a dedicated poker room with more than 30 tables, making it stand out from its competitors that focused on providing as many slot machine options as they could.

And with poker rising in popularity after Chris Moneymaker’s underdog win at the 2003 World Series of Poker event, Borgata was already ahead of the curve when they had the chance to host various WSOP events. They even added 50 more tables to their poker room and became the East Coast’s poker destination.

Other prominent AC casinos added quality poker rooms, including Harrah’s with a 40-table room, and new casinos opened, like Revel Casino Resort (which is now Ocean Casino Resort) in 2007, to compete with Borgata.

However, some of AC’s long-standing properties shuttered their doors or removed gaming entirely. When Sands closed in 2006, the city was still raking in all-time-high profits. But things were getting shaky. A government shutdown in 2006 caused all Atlantic City casinos to close for three days. And even though Borgata maintained revenue, the city was actually reaching its peak before another big dip.

You better have a good plan in place when the dollar gets debauched. It will be blood and feathers everywhere.

Actually they have an explanation on how this would happen. It was interesting to watch. I'll see if I can find it again.

Why America's gigantic national debt is a good thing

Sorry, Time. Your new cover story is terrible.

theweek.com

So any government with a fiat currency system, which is what America and most advanced Western nations have now, can always just create money to pay off creditors in a pinch. That's why interest rates on U.S. debt are so low — a sign of investors' trust. It's why we've happily run a debt for almost two centuries, and why Japan's interest rates remain quite low despite a debt load far larger than ours.

What else can they say, right?

Actually I get SS and not SSI.

Are you stating the poor get our SS money? So they don't put a dime in and get money out? those bastards. LOL
