Why Is Everything Always Trump's Fault?

[Road Runner]

Look what they're blaming him for now. I'll admit that I'm not really good with money and math due to my disabilities, but they're already blaming him for what's going to possibly take place in 2035 and he's only going to be in office for four years. Good grief! That's all that I would need to know to know that these people are delusional. As apparently even if it's before or after he's in office it's ALL his fault!!

Social Security Changes Proposed by President-Elect Donald Trump Could Be Bad News for Retirees, According to a Recent Report

In November, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump won a decisive victory over Democratic rival Kamala Harris. With Trump officially returning to the White House for a second term, many retired workers on Social Security are undoubtedly hoping he can bring about much-needed change...

This article is conflating two completely separate public policy issues; the first being the fairness involved with taxing SS benefits which are derived from taxes (IMHO it's completely UNFAIR to tax benefits which are themselves derived from taxes).

The second being the long-term fiscal solvency of the Social Security System, an issue which President Trump has yet to address in any detail. The good news is that the problem isn't really all that difficult to address if He and his Republican cohorts can manage to muster the will and political capital to do it.

Bush has always opposed Trump.

Nothing new, C J.

 

[Mac1958]

Anyone who doesn't realize that this shit cuts both ways is absolutely clueless.

Both ends of the spectrum do it. Regularly.

 

[initforme]

letting social security expire will not be supported by voters.

 

[jwoodie]

There is a perverse sense of security from blaming others for your personal failings.

NOTHING is ever just one persons fault in polities.
Turning a Blind eye when its your party.
And not being willing to look at both sides of any issue.

Yeah but he's not even in office yet. How do people know what's going to take place LONG after he's in office when he hasn't even gotten into office yet?

Trump was asked by the media "are you concerned that your booming stock market will be hurt with tariffs"?

His response was a good one, didn't even hesitate, he shrugged his shoulders, "tariffs will make us rich"

As I see it, he accentuated the term "reciprocal tariffs". Nothing wrong with that approach. I am glad he is thinking about the U.S debt and Middle Class, jobs/growth rather than just corporate profits.

Corporations are receiving major gifts in the form of lower taxes from Trump, he should not be bending more when he is giving them that.

Tariffs will just encourage the US to produce their own merchandise again.

Social Security has been within 7 years of bankruptcy for the past 60 years.

So how is it Trump's fault then if they were that way already?

Do you really think that investment bankers will back the creation of industries that depend on massive tariffs to be competitive?

He had 4 years to address the problem and did not even attempt to address it.

He doesn't realize it but if he applies tariffs to Canada he is going to shake up the political class here in a big way. From Ontario to major cities, perhaps even the PM office though that's a stretch ironically since Trudeau has already been far behind in the polls for about a year now.

It seems Alberta, which is our energy center is not concerned with tariffs. They don't have the manufacturing base that Ontario has. Ontario would be dominant if not for the Police State. That goes for all of the country actually and it's a real shame. A travesty really. We've destroyed ourselves through the old, dying, central power against citizens that stifle innovation.

A "human right tariff" just might wake us up, though I still suspect Trump might be bluffing, who knows? Some of us in Canada have been unfairly accused and misrepresented without any recourse from the time we were kids! Kids from the ghetto who graduate university top of class and are accepted into a prestigious MBA program should not have their lives destroyed for decades to appease the Stasi. In America, Japan or even China, they;d would have leveraged such a person.

Trumps team has heard from me multiple times, as has Bidens and Obamas. I expect the other shoe to drop for me in Canada though I hope I am wrong. I pray some people pay attention to my plight when it does...

Huh?

... because he is who he is. He has a history of f'ups.

Sounds like paranoia to me.

He had 4 years to address the problem and did not even attempt to address it.

Probably because the democrats kept trying to get in his way, but what all could he do about it? You said that it's also been happening for sixty years so obviously he's not the only person to point a finger at.

 

[Hum Dinger]

So how is it Trump's fault then if they were that way already?

It's been on ongoing boondoggle.

I'm all for Trump's plan to stop taxing SS benefits (I'm retiring next summer).

But I also understand that it will seriously reduce federal tax revenues and that may bite us in the ass eventually.

Do you know what's worse than Liberal's 'Tax and Spend' policies?

Republican's 'not taxing but still spending' policies!

Basic math is obviously beyond Republicans.
