Rolling back Medicaid and Medicare is going to bankrupt a lot of hospitals. |
That’s not how SS works. Your taxes pay for current retirees and younger generations pay for you. How much did the first recipients pay into the system? If you said $0 you would be correct. |
Raise the cap and that will make it solvent. Stop forcing people in demanding manual labor jobs to work longer and longer, if they are able to manage to find a job at their age. |
Raising the cap alone will not make it solvent. Look at E2.1 in the link below. It addresses 73% of the issue, assuming no credit to benefits, and that's doing it immediately for 2025, which is surely not on the table at this point. So it will be even less helpful if done in the future. https://www.ssa.gov/oact/solvency/provisions/payrolltax_summary.html |

Where was Donald Trump Sr born? |
Scam program needs to end |
Every 1st world country has a system, most more generous than the US. 80% of deep red counties that voted for Trump derive most of their income from government transfers. So, I guess if Trump wants to destroy his voters…that’s the way to do it. |
Trump's nominee for the OMB (Office of Management and Budget) is Russel Vought, a co-author of Project 2025. (This is curious since Trump had claimed he knew nothing about Project 2025, yet he apparently knows one of the architects of it well enough to nominate him.) Vought recently stated: “I think we need to go after the mandatory programs that Sen. Cornyn mentioned that are keeping people out of the workforce because they have become not just a social safety net, but they have become a benefit hammock."
That would include Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Theoretically, Congress would have to cooperate. And they well might. But if you believe the checks and balances are broken, then you should understand a rug pull is possible at any time. |
Lol great you didn't need it, but you still are covered and so you used it as a safety net. You have car insurance and if you don't get in an accident you still used it as a safety net. See? |
Tax the Uber rich more. That would be fair. |
That’s no excuse. I was angry about the George Floyd riots, but I didn’t vote for Trump. You have to be an idiot to vote for Trump. |
If you become disabled or widowed early or have a child with a disability, you'll see the value. |
This. Tax the billionaires! |
I am preparing to take care of my elderly father myself in several years. No nursing home for Medicaid patients. He may also be kicked off Medicaid as a permanent resident. Luckily ophthalmology is the only care he truly needs rn. |
