Can Trump Be Trusted With Social Security?

You can cut waste in the programs without touching benefits... dems always go for the extreme...

We’ve been hearing that garbage for decades.

What waste you can identify doesn’t amount to shit

When the rabid right claimed that Trumpybear made us energy independent did you believe that or did you say American production did that? Biden policies didn't slow down production at all.

I never credited Trump with more than he actually did. For example we have a Keystone pipeline from Canada thanks to Trump. But Trump did not create oil. I wish the media of America was more honest. But they love Democrats.

Even the Keystone delivered Canada oil and not domestic oil. We would have another but Biden stopped it. So he hurt Canada and the USA.

What about all the money being spent on illegal immigrants?

 

[BS Filter]

Oh fuck that.

Trump talks like Trump and you talk like a cultist

And we've been hearing democrats tell us for decades that Republicans are going to cut social security and Medicare. Liars.

 

[Robert W]

Oh fuck that.

Trump talks like Trump and you talk like a cultist

Trump does talk like a Democrat. And you are a Bidenista so why are you whining?

Democrats love to talk about the Birther issue. And true Trump talked about this. But it was the Hillary Clinton team that came up with the Birther issue. Trump talks like Democrats talk.

Let's get something corrected. First I have favored electric cars since I was a Freshman in College in 1957. I am not in love with the ICE. I appreciate it however. But I am very anti the heavy batteries currently used to power the EVS of today. I have proposed other soulutions. Such as using raw hydrogen or alternatively using water and pulling out the electrons and we are home free. Lithium Ion batteries have killed people when the cars catch fire. Even Airplanes I trained in to be a pilot use petroleum. EV batteries can't be used in airplanes as the power source.

I hardy ever comment about electric cars. Not really enamored by 4 wheels either.

And we've been hearing democrats tell us for decades that Republicans are going to cut social security and Medicare. Liars.

Millions of old Americans get well below the poverty level from SSI. I have never read nor heard any Democrats seeking we get higher amounts. They are pleased millions of Americans can't afford a good life under SS and must have savings to make it.

WASHINGTON ― Former president Donald Trump seemed to suggest he favored cutting retirement programs such as Social Security and Medicare in a rambling answer he gave during a TV interview on Monday.

CNBC’s Joe Kernan asked Trump, who has previously said he opposes cutting so-called entitlement spending, if he had changed his outlook given the ballooning national debt.

“So first of all, there is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in terms of cutting, and in terms of also the theft and the bad management of entitlements, tremendous bad management of entitlements,” Trump said. “There’s tremendous amounts of things and numbers of things you can do.”

It’s not clear what Trump meant by “cutting” or by “theft” or by “bad management of entitlements.” His answer continued for several more minutes and ranged across several other topics, including COVID and ISIS. Kernan’s next questions were about Bitcoin.
White House spokesman Andrew Bates seized on Trump’s remarks.

“As the President just warned in his State of the Union address, Republican officials plan to cut Medicare and Social Security,” Bates said in a statement blasted out to reporters. “Cutting the Medicare and Social Security benefits that Americans have paid to earn their whole lives ― only to make room for yet more unaffordable, trickle down tax giveaways to the super wealthy ― is exactly backwards.”

Social Security and Medicare are both solvent through the early 2030s, according to the Social Security Administration. In 2033, reserves will deplete and incoming tax revenue will cover only 77% of Social Security benefits.

This should scare everyone on Social Security and Medicare! We have heard many warnings from Republicans in Congress that they favor cutting Social Security and Medicare! We've been sufficiently warned. These are programs that workers have paid into their entire working lives. What do you think?

So he didn't really suggest that at all did he Lakookta?
That desperation is realllyyy smelly now.....

 

[jbrownson0831]

Really? You should be more aware and informed about the reality of these warnings. We've been warned many times that Republicans want to privatize and cut Social Security and Medicare.

Who warned you? Archie or Jughead, given the nature of your sources.

My oldest daughter got a lot of first place Trophies when she raced Motocross. She drug me screaming to her days as one of America's premier women racers. Motorcycle riders are often the victims of auto drivers.

There are many seniors working fast food jobs that used to be for teenagers. It's criminal how badly seniors are treated in the USA.

Hard to tell what he talking about CUTTING here but it doesn’t sound good.

Do you trust him?

Question is why dose the democrat party believe social security is their own personal piggy bank?

Wow. Just wow. First proposed under the 2nd Bush Administration, the Keystone pipeline sections 1 through 4 were completed under Obama by 2014. The 5th leg, XL section was approved/passed by Congress but vetoed by Obama, and Congress failed to override his veto. The Keystone pipeline has been pumping that Canadian slurry all the way to Port Arthur and Houston ever since then. Trump didn't/couldn't go through Congress and used an EO to allow the permit for the construction of the final phase. Trump didn't create oil or that pipeline, and by using an EO to permit that final section instead of making a deal with Congress, Biden was able to stop construction with the stroke of a pen. Personally, I think he should have used it as a bargaining chip but that's just me.

“So first of all, there is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in terms of cutting,” Trump responded. “And in terms of, also, the theft and the bad management of entitlements — tremendous bad management of entitlements — there’s tremendous amounts of things and numbers of things you can do.”

 

[Thinker101]

Whenever Republicans tell you what awful things they plan to do, believe them.

Yep, much better to listen to the lies that Democrats tell. That way you won't be screwed until it's too late.

Trump never speaks clearly enough to be held accountable for what he says. Sometimes I think he just wants attention. He's very needy.

You need rose colored glasses.

Despite what the MAGA nuts say, the OP is absolutely correct. He is right that Trump suggested cutting entitlements and is correct as to Trump's incoherence.

Trump does not give a damn for the middle class.

After former President Donald J. Trump appeared to suggest he was open to cutting federal entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare, President Biden immediately seized on the comments, saying, “Not on my watch.”

Mr. Biden, as he gears up for a general election rematch against Mr. Trump, has been eager to highlight his promise not to touch Social Security or Medicare. He has argued that Republicans, led by Mr. Trump, would strip away those benefits. But in a sign of the issue’s political potency, Mr. Trump’s campaign quickly sought to clarify that Americans who rely on the programs do not need to worry. [/QUOTE}

Subhuman ape Trump is never clear about anything because he has no policy initiatives, fresh ideas or anything else. He's a corrupt, deranged bumbling fool. Which is what the MAGA rabble admires.

Trump is running to keep his stupid sorry ass out of prison. Period.
