Would you support this law?

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Every program in the Fed Govt has to be looked at freshly at least once every four years to determine if it is still needed

Of course not.

Ridiculous political theater from the equally ridiculous right.

 

[Lesh]

Sunset every program, agency, board, department, and branch.

That oughta fuck things up real good. That’s the goal right?

 

[struth]

It turns SS and Medicare into a political football that has to fight for its life every couple of years.

Fuck that

it does now…a five is more then a couple

 

[Lesh]

Biden suggested this back in the 70s.

Clealry he does not support it any longer.

But if he did I would finally have something to agree with him on

In the 70s. That’s what… fifty years ago?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

That would sunset Social Security. No?

Yes – as in how Republicans would get rid Social Security and Medicare.

 

[Lesh]

It does not… and five is a pretty short span when you’re putting people’s retirement on the line

 

[struth]

haha of course is it…the current path is in heading to going broke…that’s why it’s always discussed and small changes are made

it’s nicknamed “the 3rd rail of politics” for a reason

 

[Concerned American]

Of course not.

Ridiculous political theater from the equally ridiculous right.

Is that why Biden proposed it when he was a senator? Because of the right. Educate yourself, moron.

Paying out 80% of existing obligations is not “going broke”

Raising the cap on deductions fixes it . Eliminating the cap makes it 100% funded

FOREVER

haha what deductions on SS?

elimating the cap doesn’t help…maybe you don’t know how SS works…your pay out is based on what you pay in…so if someone making a million a year pays all in…they get that back…not someone like you, who pays far less in.

SS will never work, the same way a ponzi scheme won’t work. That’s why it needs to be reviewed or reformed to the Swedish/Bush model

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

100%. Not sure why anyone would not.

Again, because it’s ridiculous rightwing political theater and libertarian nonsense.

There are over 2200 Federal programs alone that assist middle and low-income working Americans, disabled Americans, and those elderly.

It would be impossible to ‘review’ all 2200, and reprehensible to consider eliminating them.

 

[struth]

Again. FIFTY years ago

so why doesn’t he believe that today? beyond things getting worse…

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“Every program” would include social security and Medicare… every four years.

If that ain’t a sunset nothing is.

Wouldn’t it be great to have SS and Medicare become political footballs every four years?

Yea . No.

But Republicans have proposed just that. (Rick Scott)

Along with Republicans Mitch McConnell, Ron Johnson, Lindsey Graham, Mike Lee, and Marco Rubio.

um…xiden suggested it was a current proposal

he lied

 

[XponentialChaos]

Yes.

In the 70s. That’s what… fifty years ago?

When there was 1/3 less people in the country.

Again, because it’s ridiculous rightwing political theater and libertarian nonsense.

Please explain this. Twenty-five seconds in.

I am?

Can you show a few post of me supporting it?

Show me a post attacking it. You only attack Republicans for the debt.

 

[struth]

Yes – as in how Republicans would get rid Social Security and Medicare.

hopefully in its current state…they are the largest drivers of debt and unsubstainable…heading for broke
