[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd seriously like to understand the end game to all of this "dismantle the government" ideology that started in earnest with Reagan in the post-Nixon years and has now reached it's logical zenith under Trump.

What will happen when tax revenues are fraction of what we need to maintain the military, infrastructure, and the Boomers begin dying in poverty in mass due to the dismantling of Social Security & Medicare?

I'd love to understand what Republicans want our country to look like once they enact all these policies. What is your vision? Is the point to weaken our country to the point that Constitutional changes are rammed through that fundamentally end "one person, one vote" electoral politics? Perhaps the installation of some sort of hereditary-based political structure?

Will we be able to defend ourselves from foreign invaders with a society that is physically unhealthy/aging, in prison, and with crumbling infrastructure?

I feel like a lot of my Republican friends and Trump can say what they want to do to dismantle government....but have they contemplated what will exist in the aftermath?

Ryan's plan caters to the wealthiest and will deeply hurt the poor and working classes - what's left of them. Poor states will be poverty ridden - the benefit of a federal safety net is it lifts all boats, so to speak.  It's hard to fathom why the GOP wants to destroy the middle class ... why they want to turn the most vulnerable away from basic support.  I'm a fiscal conservative but cannot for the life of me understand the motivation behind this hateful, greedy party and it's platform. It's not just Trump; it's spineless Ryan and McConnell and a whole host of others. This is getting scary.

[b]First I'm ignoring the whole people are going to starve/die crap that's fear mongering

Fed government will do what the constitution actually says mainly Defense/National Security type stuff

Rest of the money will go to the states and each state will decide what they want to do... That's the end game

Read some of the stuff Paul Ryan has put out it's all out there

See, I think you're willfully ignoring a HUGE outcome of Ryan's policies. What will happen to Americans in old age if you dismantle Social Security and Medicare? You can't ignore that elephant in the room....way too big and affects all of us. Again, you have not articulated an end game. You've told us what you want to do, but what does Tomorrow look like?[/quote][/quote]

For crying out loud, tt's not going to be wholly dismantled.  The age limit is going to increase one maybe two years the wage caps will increase and there might be some means testing

Again quit with the fear mongering [/quote]
