Mitch McConnell: We must cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security to reduce the deficit

[BS Filter]

Please do cancel your Republican registration. Means nothing.

 

[Deno]

Just weeks before the midterms and this moron is talking about safety net cuts???

Is he trying to help the left?

McConnell can go fuck himself in a turtle retirement village.

McConnell has done MORE to fuck the little guy & to promote the wealthy.

I hope McConnell burns in Hell right along side Reagan & Hitler.

Maybe they can all 3 go get a HOT game of golf in while they're waiting for Trump to 'join up'

I would guess you to be a real failure in life......

Mitch McConnell is saying that we now need to cut Social Security and Medicare. Whaaat ? Is this man crazy ? He's not alone. He's got Paul Ryan on board with him. Hopefully, if these nutjobs go through with this in the Congress, Trump will shut it all down with a presidential veto.

Oh my god, they're going to do exactly what they've been saying they would do for decades? Who could have seen that happening!?!

They have been saying that they will fix immigration for decades.............have they.............

They cut S.S. and they will be lynched..................they know it...............this was not an accident............there Dark Money masters have told them to fix the Establishment line.............nothing new here.

I wonder how many times does it need to be explained that no one paid into anything.

Some people are taking 100K a year from the working age people who are supposed to start families. That is madness.

Yes people who already paid in their whole lives....

A other irrelevant one liner from the big brain. With a name like yours I would expect you to be able to make an argument, but instead only hot air comes out. Might want to get that thing checked.

Now, of course a leftist LOVES LOVES some rich guy taking million dollar pensions from Americans so that they are unable to start families and get ahead in their lives. For the hard leftists, even their hatred of the rich is mitigated if they get to screw over Americans.

I'll give you a longer response as soon as you start making sense....

It's only you that isn't making sense. Stop projecting...

And given that you are unable to write a well thought out paragraph, no wonder.

You keep throwing around 100K. Please explain how you arrived at that number. Sounds like you have no clue...

Yes, in overall pensions, which also include OTHER government pensions. And of course, MEDICAID and MEDICARE are way bigger than social security.

The pension system is largely unfunded like social security, because they promised way more benefits than they could pay, even though at least in this case something was invested. Governments love promising free shit because there are many brain....less who think it's actually free.

His purpose is to keep us at each others throats........and nothing more..........

His posts are boring...........and are intended to upset only those who give a damn what he thinks........

Hey Mitch, run things by your cat first next time m'kay? I mean we play with mice, but not when it counts.

I never thought this would happen. I voted for Trump in the primaries, and for him again in the general election. I love his presidency and his accomplishments, but all of a sudden now the bottom is starting to fall out of the Republican party.

The Newsweek article I saw on this said that Democrats are ready to pounce on Republicans who put this forward, They're not the only ones. A lot of us Republicans will pounce on them too, as I'm doing right now.

1. If you want to kill the Republican party, this is the sure way of doing it. Older people vote in droves, and will simply not tolerate cuts in our already too small incomes. This would be the greatest gift Republicans could ever give to Democrats.

2. Older people have worked their butts off for 50 or 60 years, paying into this. Not right to cut it back from them.

3. If you want to cut entitlements, how about getting rid of millions of illegal foreigner leeches, who are sucking up waay too much of the federal budget ? Jail politicians passing sanctuary city laws. Abolish birthright citizenship for kids of foreigners.

4. Cut govt waste, but Social Security and Medicare are not waste.

Well here; I'll throw you a bone.

This will make you feel even better while you are having GOP voter remorse.

Trump: Ask Every Cabinet Member to CUT 5% From Budgets

Love that idea, we need to cut a lot more than 5%.

Let's cut your government access to benefits by 250%

Typical of a lefty, they don’t want to diebate an issue because they will lose, so they resort childish insults.

THIS IS A TROLL POST - THIS PERSON WAS NEVER A REPUBLICAN

The tax cuts aren't working to cut the deficit, so Mitch needs to get busy cutting entitlements. I recommend cutting welfare programs first.

Who in the world thought that thought that reducing revenue would cut into the deficit?

HAs revenue in fact been reduced....Who Really Pays Uncle Sam's Bills?

Yes, yes it has.

Monthly Treasury Statement

Remember the tax cuts kicked in in Jan, so we will count from there.

From Jan - Sept 2017 the total revenue was $2,574,122,000,000
From Jan - Sept 2017 the total revenue was $2,559,233,000,000
That is $ 14,889,000,000 less in those 9 months in 2018 than in 2017.

In the past 100 years it has almost ever only increased. The less of our money the government has the more American we will be.

Making America great again, working as intended.

Step 2) cut spending.

You "cancel" a subscription you don't cancel your political registration. The wording is awkward and vaguely suspect.

 

[OKTexas]

How about this reason:

They are terrible programs and in debt to the tune of 150 trillion. How about the fact that people are living much longer now? How about the fact that the young may not want to pay for the free shit for the old while getting almost nothing in return?

Nope apparently none of those are explanations.

Free shit?

We have all paid into Social Security and Medicare.

That's exactly how the GOP looks right now: No free shit, even if you paid into it. Too bad. Good luck. You're on your own. So are your kids.

Is that really what you want?
.

I just can't imagine how the country survived 145 years without it. The GD commies took your taxes, spent your money, gave you IOU's and are now borrowing money, in your name, to make those IOU's good. So you've been screwed twice, how's it feel?

.

When we finally implode............everything of real value will be on little pieces of paper...........the ones who did it will then own all the deeds to the real property as the whole world is a disaster..............

Then they will set up soup kitchens for the people and tents saying we are here to save you...............

They won't get mine, I don't owe a dime on it.

.

Great Depression...........ordered gold to be seized................and big dogs took land for failure to pay their taxes..............

I had some land and lived in the sticks...still do........lol...........in that same area is an old farm..........Was owned by a old man who refused to give up the land after other bought it for taxes...........way back when............He pulled out the gun and refused to go..........they eventually burned the place to the ground in the end and he left.....................true story

Well in TX I'm exempt form property taxes and the only gold I own, except one $5.00 gold piece, is in jewelry.

Are they going to cut WORLD POLICE military spending too? Start paying off the debt and set up an investment fund?

I would support them if they also did that.

I'm not sure if the US really owes ANY debt. There's supposed to be a big debt to China. Uh.. excuse me. How about the debt that China owes America ?

If we had not saved their butts in World War II, they wouldn't EXIST right now. They would be JAPAN.

Last time I checked - Social Security was America's largest debt holder and likely still is.

 

[protectionist]

Even if your epiphany is true - they gave us plenty of warning that this was their plan. Why are you surprised? Rich people don't depend on Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid.

Democrats Pounce On Mitch McConnell For Blaming Debt On Social Security, Medicare

You leftists have a real trauma about Republicans and the rich. They have done more for the AMERICAN poor and working class than the Democrats could even dream about, and today's 2018 numbers (GDP, unemployment, minority race unemployment, median income, etc) back that up.

Trump has repeatedly said he would not touch Social Security & Medicare. I'm counting on that. So far he has kept all his promises.

Well that's a great law then............

I'm only giving a historical perspective of what they did.............

4. Cut govt waste, but Social Security and Medicare are not waste.

They should cut SS, there are thousands of people who get 100,000 a year who for some reason draw on the SS fund and they don't need it but greed know no bounderys. I don't know where the cut off amount should be but some limits and cuts needs to be done.

So if they paid in all their life's they should not be able to draw it if they are making over $100,000 a year?

So there should not be a cutoff paying into social either, if you're earning a wage regardless of amount you should pay in. I have nothing against the wealthy if they paid in to draw out, but I also think there should not be cutoff of what this year $129,000?

So you want to break more commie promises? Typical.

Who the hell is MODERATING right now ?

I need to talk to that person - RIGHT NOW.

Maybe you don't read well. I said >> "How about the debt that China owes America ? If we had not saved their butts in World War II, they wouldn't EXIST right now. They would be JAPAN."

America is the world's largest CREDITOR. And thanks to the Brits, the Canadians, the Russians, and the Australians for what they too. LIVES are worth more than dollars.​
