Cuts to SS and Medicare

[Kondor3]

Let’s cut the war department instead. It does nothing but waste money and kill innocent people.

No thank you.

Rather, we continue to require a very strong military, to protect ourselves and our interests.

Throwing in the towel and disbanding the military and sliding into naive isolationism is a recipe for national suicide.

From an American perspective what is needed is a more judicious use of funds for equipping and utilizing that military.

There are vast amounts of money to be saved by reforming military R&D and procurement and production and provisioning and logistics.

A more selfish and consistent and long-running range of bipartisan policies regarding national defense readiness and deployment would help greatly.

Which includes dealing with the second biggest expense we incur, healthcare cost. For profit healthcare cost is draining our economy. Medicare for all makes dealing with healthcare for both the military and civilian population easier. Everyother industrialized country does it.

Everything scares MAGAGATARDS!

Like I said, I'm glad there aren't very many of those around.

Disagree. I believe that there is no practical linkage between the two, other than the fact that cost-control is needed in both spheres.

But I DO agree that cost-controls on healthcare have become a necessity; however, how to go about it? The Devil is in the Details

Child, you aren’t that bright are you ? The fix is easy but you can t read can you.
SS and Medicare A and B have trust funds that the surplus goes into. They are forced to buy treasury bonds with the surplus. Guess what dumbo. The treasury bonds are part of the overall deficit. THE SS AND MEDICARE trust funds are now paying for things like the military and creating a deficit.
Put the surplus in a lock box and SS and Medicare would be totally self supporting. But the billions that go into the general fund would have to be made up by TAXES ON THE RICH DUMBO,

RIGHT NOW, the SS and Medicare trust fund helps pay for the MILITARY.....ha ha
That’s why you are stupid. You can’t even see it. Payroll taxes already overpay for SS and Medicare a and b.

1. I'm probably older, but definitely a lot smarter than you.
2. Show a graph of your fantasy SS & Medicare surpluses. You are referring to Al Gore's "lock box", which didn't happen.
3. Now its too late, there are no "surplusses". Medicare will be bankrupt NEXT YEAR dumbass.
4. SS will be bankrupt in 2034 as we both know.

SS & Medicare need more REVENUE. SO where does it come from?

Lol.

Our military doesn’t protect us. Where were they on 9/11? These balloons just float over country uncontested. They do a good job of attacking weak nations killing thousands of innocents for the benefit of neocons, Wall Street, and the two crime families.

We are a warlike imperialist nation. You might research history on what happens to such nations.

Why do warmongering imperialists like yourself always bring up isolationism? You’re like a trained monkey for the corrupt establishment.

Dumbo, if you were as smart as you claim to be, just acknowledging it doesn’t become insolvent for ten years MEANS, ITS RUNNING A SURPLUS. You know the trust fund is also used for disability insurance……you maybe older, but you’re not that bright. Every administration counts on their billions to prop up their economy. They rob it like Trump does with the military to build his delusional wall.

 

[Dagosa]

The security assets including Clinton himself warned the Bush admin about a possible attack on the towers. Geesus, they tried it before with a truck bomb in the parking area underneath. Did everyone forget ?

 

[Dagosa]

Not parts A and B. Maybe you never knew that. So,
No it won’t stupid. By law, the IRS is empowered to increase the rates of the trust funds. It needs no action. We also have a democratic with a small D, president who won’t let it happen dumbo. Only you conservative idiots live in fear and only when you have a gop lead recession to deal with.

Yeah to the duopoly dupe, the R Party is responsible for failures on 9/11.

lol

You forget ? Clinton the Commander in chief of the military wanted to open a military front going after OBL. But no, he got no support from congress cause no one wanted to help a lame duck president getting head in the oval'office.

1 is actually too many, but that's the world as it is.

BET YOUR ASS. Total incompetence. Bush was too Busy looking for the door getting off stage. BTW, for the Humpers, even Trump blamed him.

Yeah a D would have done so much better. Lol. Unbelievable.

I am not positive but I thought he referenced Medicare parts a and b earlier as having a surpluses I may have read that incorrectly.

 

[SweetSue92]

You forgot the old senile fool you voted for for president.

KILL THE UNVAXXED!

wait, wait. She has now upgraded to KILL the unvaxxed?

 

[Dagosa]

A D did do much better. After pissin* around for seven years by Bush it was Obama who had him taken out….dah.

Dumbass, if they are going bankrupt (or insolvent) they don't have a surplus. Bankrupt means no money, duh.

You are correct. But our friend has a memory problem.

 

[gipper]

Yeah pretty much. In a former life, she was a Nazi prison camp guard happily killing people.
