President Joe Biden has done a masterful job in drawing the line with Republicans: He will not negotiate Social Security and Medicare with them—period. It’s truly been a thing of beauty, and a tremendous relief for all us lefties who still have memories of how he chose to be bipartisan and undercut then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who was on the brink of victory in raising taxes on the super-rich back during the Obama administration. Biden learned some critical lessons in that, the most important being: Don’t trust a Republican.


Lets be very clear on this. There aren’t going to be any cuts on anything to the working class, or the poor. There will only be raises in taxes on the corporations and filthy rich. It’s the only place you’re going to get any money for anything Republicans. Better resign yourselves to that fact.
 
skwey when you said this....Don’t trust a Republican.....let me add what you aint allowed to do....or a Democrat.....

The GOP needs to negotiate

For example, they may agree to keep health care off the chopping block so long as they can put Schumer on the chopping block.

It's called negotiating.
 
One wonders whether the Politicians are stupid, or they think WE are stupid.

Social Security and Medicare are a completely separate discussion from the discussion about controlling the exploding deficit. SS and Medicare are funded separately by payroll taxes, and the respective "trust funds," though fictitious, are inviolable. Congress has the power to increase or decrease SS monthly checks - the USSC has confirmed that - but when the "trust fund" runs dry, that's it. General Funds CANNOT be used to pay Social Security stipends. The Constitution forbids it.

Congress will presently have to enter into serious discussions about dealing with the coming shortfall in the SS trust fund. As stated above, those discussion have nothing to do with controlling the deficit.

Medicaid, on the other hand, while unconstitutional, does not have the "trust fund" issue to deal with. It can be modified, enhanced, or eliminated, at the discretion of Congress and the President.

You are all aware, are you not, that Senator Joe Biden once suggested reducing SS payments?

I know for a fact that both the politicians and voters are stupid

That gets proven about every day.

So now what?
 
The country will go bankrupt and soon we'll ALL lose. Thank your federal government and their neverending greed for power

Geez Louize ... I wonder what the Career Pol { Like Biden } who never
held a job in the private sector feels about the Lower Middle Class
Poor whites in the town of E.Palestine,O. They aren't even worthy of mention
by the Rat Democrats or MSM. There is no help afforded them.They are totally
on their own.S'not like the Illegals who got Free boarding { in N.Y.city }
in first class hotels.Given like $1,ooo a Day.They ended up making a mess.
Ordered food and then dint like.
Schumer ... Groomer.Of all things Unjust and one-sided.
I wonder if he ever got a letter in sports while in High school.
I wonder where his Yarmulke went?
 
Plural Noun.Because there ain't just One Book of Revelations ...
Gomer.
It's CALLED REVELATION dumbass

its called the BOOK of REVELATION

As Rush used to say, you're "too smart" by half
.I just say you're a dumbass who should listen more than he speaks

Flat out bald-faced LIE.If that was the case why the need for 87,ooo
new IRS agents with gun training.There are nowhere the amount of
Billionaires and Millionaires that reguire that many IRS agents at
cost of over $ 80 Billion.They are meant to hassle our Middle Class.
Which was an Obama hidden agenda.Who was trained in
Marxism at Columbia U. There is No middle class in Marxism.
Plus it's also part of Cloward & Piven which is roundly taught at
Columbia U. To overwhelm a government with massive spending.
In 1982 Cloward and Piven wrote an article titled :
- A Movement Strategy to Transform the Democrat Party -
It was circulated by the Left-wing journal { Social Policy }
Funny how Obama transferred from Occidental College
to Columbia U. { based on what } in 1981.
Even more funny { like Hardy har har } is Obama making a
point out of using the word " Transform " in his bid to
make President in 2008.

So Danny then the Book Of Revelation contains Only one
book of revelations.So according you there cannot be
revelations ... because you insist there is just a Book of Revelation.
Talk about the very definition of shortsightedness.
Besides Saint John the Divine what other saint or saints
had Revelations.Or A REVELATION.
I guess it's like Lucy Telling Charlie to knock it off already
with the Boners.And Charlie insisting ... He had just One Boner.
Yeah,it lasted one entire afternoon into suppertime.
But it was just One boner.Not knowed Boners.
Got it Buckwheat brains.
