Billionaire Club!

Postby Pack Rat on Sat Dec 07, 2024 10:27 am

Wait a minute...we voted in a billionaire as President and he hires a billionaire in a economy that supports and grows billionaires? Now the billionaires want to make cuts in Social Security, Medicare and the VA?

Makes sense?

To say Social Security, Medicare, VA can't be touched will lead to its downfall. Everything in life needs to be monitored, updated, corrected and improved.

True enough, HR, but putting in a bunch of guys who have no need for any of those things seems like a prescription for their downfall, also.

Agree with HR. The do-or-die moment to save social security was about 10 years ago. There's no more runway left. We used up all the runway refusing to make changes because they weren't 100% what we wanted.

It might still be possible to preserve a hollowed-out version of it if something happens in the next 12 months. Maybe.

But the idea that social security will exist in its current form in 2040 is supported by hope and aspiration, not by math or accountancy.

Once Trump is in office and starts to enrich the top 1%....the pendulum will turn a hard left.
