Why does our, One Percenter in Chief, believe we need tax cuts during times of massive debt?
Only if the debt and deficit is paid down and he govt. stops borrowing from the treasury dept..
Neither Social Security nor Medicare will go bankrupt simply because it's not possible. To raise the question means you don't understand bankruptcy or the Structure of Social Security and Medicare.
Switching to govt services is RARELY a way to "save money".
nobody is talking about switching to govt services, just switching from one from of socialism to a more efficient form of socialism like the one they have in Europe.
The Social Trust Fund is still growing and will continue to grow through 2019. At that time benefits being paid out of the fund will be less than income from payroll taxes coming into the fund, so the fund will begin shrinking. By 2034, the fund will be exhausted. Although this is a serious problem, it should be pointed out the existing payroll taxes will be enough to pay 3/4 of the benefits. So as a worst case scenario, social benefits would be cut 25% after 2034.Neither Social Security nor Medicare will go bankrupt simply because it's not possible. To raise the question means you don't understand bankruptcy or the Structure of Social Security and Medicare.
Neither will go bankrupt but they will run out of money.
They both are massive unfunded liabilities. Note the last line:

Paying off debt in six years is simple. We merely need to switch to healthcare capitalism and use the savings to pay off the debt.Neither Social Security nor Medicare will go bankrupt simply because it's not possible.

U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time
If you run the numbers you'll see that growth is not enough to pay off the debt. If the economy grows 2% more a year and the government collects 20% of that it's about $60 billion which doesn't even shrink the deficit let alone touch the debt.Why does our, One Percenter in Chief, believe we need tax cuts during times of massive debt?
To increase the growth of the economy thereby increasing the revenue. A concept foreign to all Progressives.

Most of Europe has massive taxation to pay for all the services their citizens demand but are proving unaffordable. Their industry operates privately.
Again, Socialism is practiced in North Korea and Venezuela.
Once again for you.

Don't be Bashful, right wingers; nothing but Repeal is all it takes to end the Drug War.Only if the debt and deficit is paid down and he govt. stops borrowing from the treasury dept..
The debt can be paid down. The deficit cannot be paid down. The deficit is a figure on a ledger sheet, it is not money spent or received, it is a budget, a HOPE LIST.

Would it be better to stop Welfare after 2 years, FORCE people back to work, instead of them suckling the government teat forever?
[Well if more people were out in force, not Obama's minimum wage jobs, then more people would contribute to the Ponzi scheme of Social Security and Medicare, making them more solvent, while more people who Obama put in poverty stay on welfare, then those holes in the economy wont contribute to anything.
