GOP and trump considering Medicare cuts in his second term

Social Security and Medicare would have been FINE had Presidents not kept dipping into it for other things.

You want to talk about money? How about not sending billions to other countries like Israel that has enough money to take care of itself? How about cutting back some military spending? The U.S. spends more PER YEAR than the next SEVEN countries COMBINED.

U.S. Defense Spending Compared to Other Countries

Pure malarkey post thank you very much.

The money has not been "spent for other things". It has been put into the general fund as loans. Interest is paid on those loans.

Here is the total unfunded liability. Staggering is it not? Unfunded Liability is money we have committed to pay over the next 40 years.

Your information on comparable spending between nations is just as ludicrous. Are you seriously going to compare what China pays for labor and you depend on their honesty? Are you aware that any and all of their rockets they list as being "research"? They have one of the largest shipping companies in the world if not the largest. While a "private" company, they are under the jurisdiction of their military.

They also have a huge submarine fleet of which we know very little. They have a large, hidden submarine base which is entered underwater so we have no idea how many they have or their capabilities.

As for what we spend on defense.

1. Medicare will go bankrupt in 2026, so the Debt Clock is bullshit
2. SS will go into default in 2034, paying 80% of promised benefits until 2090, when it actually goes bankrupt
3. What happens to Welfare and Medicaid? Those need to be closed to pay for "owed" benefits for Medicare and SS payees.
4. What about the "fixes for SS & Medicare?


A. Social Security will be unable to meet obligations (not technically "bankrupt") in 2034, paying only 79% of owed benefits, while it will be actually bankrupt around 2090.

It wasn't supposed to be used as slush funds for loans.

It's been widely known for several years just how much more money the US spends on the military than any other country. Trump even brought up all the tanks that are just sitting at a company waiting to be used... WHY? Because the Army told them they didn't need them but they bought them any way. It happens all the time.

Please do some rudimentary due diligence. You're making yourself look foolish.

How much do you think our defense should be cut?

Failed former President Barack Hussein Obama pulled all our troops out of Iraq. That vacuum was filled by ISIS and Russia. Who do you want to fill the vacuum if we cut back on our defense spending?

No he didn't. He should have.

Iraq does not belong to us. You are arguing for a never ending invasion of another country.
 
Trump Has Told Friends That Gutting Medicare Could Be a Fun “Second-Term Project”

That would teach the old toothless farts that believed every word the Liar says. Maybe instead of a nursing home...they can live under a bridge....

He is right. Actually no matter who wins, that person has to address entitlements in order to cure our deficit and begin paying down our debt.

Yes, let's fix the deficit by taking away healthcare and Social Security benefits from the people that paid into it all their life...

And continue to spend money like they are printing it on other shit.
Lol
How about let everyone decide if they want it or not, I would gladly Forgo everything I put in up to this point in life just to get the fuck out of these fucked up socialist entitlement programs.

They are a sinking ship

What's your solution to this very real problem? Frankly, I don't care, I'm old already I won't lose anything.

GWB with the Status of Forces agreement pulled troops out of Iraq.

GWB and his anti-baath post invasion government policy created ISIS.

So, pull your head out.

We didn't even pull all the troops out. We just renamed the ones we left as "advisers". But yes, the plan was Bush's.

When the American troops left Iraq three years ago, they left behind a fragile country that collapsed into civil war.

Here is the result of failed former President Barack Hussein Obama malfeasance.

IT'S GEORGE BUSH'S FAULT!

All failed former President Barack Hussein Obama had to do was get another Status of Forces Agreement.

ISIS established their Caliphate in Iraq as a result of our vacating the country.
