[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I voted for Kamala and I think what Musk is doing is illegal, traitorous, evil, etc etc. But we also have to have a serious talk about the future of social security and Medicare in this country. As it is it is simply not sustainable. [/quote]

100% agreed.  Our current deficit spending habit is unsustainable.  We need to solve it through some combination of tax revenue increases, spending cuts (including cuts to Social Security, the military, and Medicare, which are the biggest expenses), and inflation.

I hate Trump and the way in which he is going about all of this, but I do appreciate that the conversation has at least been started, for the first time in many years.  Unfortunately, I am concerned that the fact that this purported concern comes from the Trump administration will lead voters to dismiss it as the rantings of a crazed lunatic instead of an actual problem in need of being solved.

Ultimately, this is (or should be) the responsibility of Congress to solve, not the president.[/quote]

You sound reasonable, but they are not. They want to take over and make the rest of us poor.

They are following a plan from Curtis Yarvin.

Do you realize (and acknowledge) that you guys had the past 4 years to do something about it, if you wanted things done a certain or different way? Nobody was stopping you. In fact, you would have had a lot of support from across the aisle to do some cost cutting. But instead, you guys just wanted to spend more and more that we just don’t have to spend, and let in millions and millions of people who we just can’t afford to support. At this point, Trump is in charge and like some other PPs, I really don’t care too much how he does the cuts as long as he does them. Someone is always going to be upset. But DC government workers already hate Trump so I guess their personal feelings aren’t being factored in here.[/quote]

With Project 2025, you're going to lose too. You just don't see it yet.
