When trump's retribution tour begins, could someone tell me if....

Is there a documentary about social security? I have been paying in for decades. You have been paying in for decades. Did we get 5% return on our money?

And all the people who paid in for decades but died before they turned 65. Or 62. I mean people who didn't collect one dime. How much does that add up to?

This is like lotteries. No fucking way schools are getting 1/4 the money, or however much they claim goes to the school. No way. The state is making BILLIONS on lotteries.

Then consider all the people who died at 66, or 67. All those people got very little from social security.

I know, we are living longer. And, we don't have enough young workers to pay for all the baby boomers who are retired and living too long.

Any savings from waste in government that Elon, Linda, Vivek and Oz find should go to social security and medicare. Two social programs. But they will privatize it all.

Doubt it being privatized....things in SSI and Medicaid/Medicare obviously need addressing. Like waste, too much duplication of services and procedures.......

But the left always makes the claim the GOP is going to make cuts...... you're going to die......and the useful idiots line right up.

No need for you to deny it anymore the election is over. And no need for me to say things that aren't true. If I'm saying it now, I'm telling you wait and see. Cuts to social programs that benefit us are coming and tax breaks to billionaires and corporations are coming too. They can't solve the debt with cuts alone and those cuts are going to hurt you and I. We the People. But the rich are going to benefit. So we just voted to further widen the gap between us and them. Nice.

You'll see Jan 7th We will discuss. I will say I told you so and you will shift to defending the cuts. Watch/wait and see.

Now no one will go after him when he crosses the line repeatedly.

Crossing the line for progressive liberals is when anyone disagrees with them....

You and your myopic vision of it all.......now I'm sure you'd be in total support if Harris won and everything stayed status quo.

Big government makes big problems that should have been addressed a long time ago.

Time has come today.

And when none of that happens, will you come back and say you were wrong? My guess is no.

Trump takes over. Oz. Linda McMahon. Vivek and the Billionaires. We're in deep do do.

I'm so glad my family is rich and my nephews voted for Trump. Now I won't feel guilty spending all my money before I die, rather than worry about them. They're rich.

And why should I worry for dummy you. Who voted for Trump. Idiots. Nazi's. Insane that America voted for this man. It's crazy. Let's hope I'm wrong but no fucking way I'm wrong. WW3 is coming. You may have said in October that I was just playing politics but the elections are over so you know this is how I truly feel. This is going to be HORRIBLE. Iran??? China? Europe? Billionaires have taken over? Dr Oz? Linda McMahon, oh yea, she's another billionaire. I forgot she was a billionaire too. Holy shit! God help us.

How much money do you have? Like, I plan to have $1 million when I turn 62 and then I'm done. MAYBE work till 65. But that was when Medicare wasn't fucked by Dr. Oz. How old are you and how are you looking towards retiring? Do you fall in the average or median? I'm not in either bracket. I will probably never reach the average but come close. And could. Depending on how the stock market does in the next 8 to 11 years.

50-somethings​

• Average net worth: $1,132,532 (ages 50-54), $1,442,075 (ages 55-59)
• Median net worth: $272,800 (ages 50-54), $320,700 (ages 55-59)

How has Dr Oz f medicare??

 

[Delldude]

How has Dr Oz f medicare??

He has a funny name....... danger Will Robinson....

Yes, honestly, I would be happy if status quo continued. I made 15% on my savings, made $90K, I'm 8 years away from retiring at 62.

Couldn't you wait till I'm dead to start a revolution? To make cuts to social security and medicare?

This seems to be the theme for Republican voters. They don't see social security, pensions, good paying jobs, job security and say "hey I want that too" they say "why do they have it so good when I don't, take it away from them".

 

[sealybobo]

He hasn't even started yet! One way is with this Medicare Plus bullshit.

 

[struth]

He hasn't even started yet! One way is with this Medicare Plus bullshit.

So he hasn’t done anything…you are merely projecting because your party got rejected by the American people because they actually made a record number of Americans worse off over the last four years…and are too cultist to accept that

 

[j-mac]

Look, this whole thing has been a joke. The one thing that Republican's have never gotten is that when they win the office they are given choices to fill their cabinets with pre planned deep staters that are plug and play with democrat agenda's....That's why nothing seems to actually get done in America...

It's power, and democrats have had it in America whether they are in, or out of power, because they have tilted the scales with bureaucrats that hold the line when they are out of power. They must be dismantled.

Trump is appointing people that will do that, and that scares progressive dems out of their minds...

The price of eggs! People can't afford them. Meanwhile, he's illegally selling $1000 Gibson guitars.

Please expand on that. I know what you're talking about, but I'd love for the other posters on here to see it. More precisely, I'd love for them to see you try and explain how an obscure offer for Trump memorobilia, that I never heard of until I read your post, is more important to the average American than the price of food items such as eggs.

Buy American! Buy my bibles. That are made in China.

Here is the (purported) origin of that story:

As Richard Lardner in Washington started reporting on former President Donald Trump’s for-profit ventures, he got a tip that Trump’s Bibles were printed in China, leading him to a labyrinth of ironies, conflicts of interest and even accusations of blasphemy.

Teaming up with Beijing’s Dake Kang, the pair verified the tip through interviews with a printing company in China. Based on databases that use customs data to track exports and imports, Lardner and Kang calculated the estimated value of three separate shipments at $342,000, or less than $3 per Bible. The minimum price for the Trump-backed Bible is $59.99, putting the potential sales revenue at about $7 million.

While it is not news that China is one of the world’s leading producers of Bibles, it may be news to readers that Trump’s administration chose to exempt Bibles from tariffs imposed on billions of dollars of Chinese goods.

Just out of curiosity, Sealy, do you see the irony of that story? In particular the first and second paragraph? Well, the third also is pretty ironic. Do you know why?

Black men are sexist. I bet more black men didn't vote or voted for Trump than voted for Kamala. Know what I mean? Add up all the black guys who didn't bother to vote. Add them to all the black men who voted for Trump. And they out number the blacks who voted for Kamala.

So the results of the election were due to the way people voted or didn't vote?

That's a shocker!

You come to grips with the fact that we're almost to the point of not being able to pay off our debt obligations?

Recent revenue, 25% went to debt......and it will grow.

What happens then........ especially to your sxvings?

Our debt payments have surpassed our military spending.

Hey, the election is over. I'm just waiting for the day I get to say I told you so and you start defending those cuts.

 

[Delldude]

Guess you aren't aware HC providers and government are slowly easing coverage into advantage plans.......out of your pocket.

No worries...... it's happening in all the other countries.

Like Canada and the UK.

It's more like 'we told you so ' already.

Yea because the citizens vote for conservatives. This isn't a good thing. It's good for the rich. For the corporations. Like NAFTA or hiring illegals. Good for them not for us.

Like, when America told you so on Election Day?

Advantage plans didn't start under Trump.

Try again.

No. Let's see him MAGA before you say that. After the illegals are run out let's see if wages go up. And if that doesn't cause inflation. And let's see if Trump's tariffs cause inflation.

Is anyone talking about a recession? Is that possible Trump might have a recession next year? Will you blame Freddy Mac or Biden?

Searches for "how to change my vote" on Google spiked on Election Day in states won by President-elect Donald Trump, indicating a degree of buyer's remorse after people cast their presidential ballots.
