An interesting thing you left out was that everyone flipped out when W said he wanted to privatize Social Security, investing the money like a 401k rather than just having direct payouts with inflation/cost of living adjustments. If that had happened in 2005...well, just look at where the S&P is now compared to then and you'll see that we'd all have 3-4x more money waiting for us when we retire than we do now.
That actually makes sense, the report did not jive with the nasty produce I can see with my own eyes.
Only in opposite world. If the government needs to recoup money it is unnecessarily paying out in benefits the easiest way to do that is to tax a portion of that disbursement. Means-testing is a better option though, just disqualify retirees worth X millions of dollars from receiving SS benefits. There will be hell to pay for that though. Try explaining to an old person recieving Social Security that they are on welfare and those monthly checks are welfare checks and see what they say.
It would've been funny if JD Vance had one of memed faces as a contact photo.
I think poors should be turned into soyelent green or get a job. No exceptions, if you can't be bothered to push carts or flip burgers then you can always fire up a stream and become a lolcow. That's also a viable career path for literally anyone, even complete retards.
I smell gayops. Why would top government officials be texting each other on some MSM platform? This is something so stupid only an internet addicted leftie armchair revolutionist could come up with. Even the piss tapes were more believable than this.
Redundancy is repetitive.
I'm thinking gayops. Alleged top secret military secrets are shared on Signal (for some reason), but it's about an operation that already happened, so there's no way it leaking could harm the United States. This is nonetheless a problem. The government will begin cracking down on Signal and Telegram kinds of messaging software so it never happens again.
Giving everyone the same outcome regardless of how hard they try means removing all incentives for good behavior. It's not theoretical since we all know how well it worked in the past.
I hope they absolutely wreck this fucking clown. They should put him away for life and it seems like there are a few potential ways to prosecute him.
Nice to see all those anti war folk suddenly be ome the most advent war hawks.
I liked this article. I think it accurately depicts the Right right now, as well as the underlying tensions that will definitely emerge as the years continue. On mobile so can't quite take snippets of the article that I like, but I highly recommend people read it. It's worth the minute.
If you are literally required to pay into something (on top of regular taxes) that you will only have access to when you retire. It is effectively a retirement program, and not just a welfare program. At which point why should someone be denied access when they've paid into it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know you can't get benefits unless you've paid into it. Odd welfare program.
if America and Russia went to war there would be no winner because everyone would be dead. the principal of mutually assured destruction didn't go away because the Russians aren't soviets anymore, they still have nukes.
Obesity has been a problem in this country since at least the 1900s. Where have you guys been?
The reactions to a potential soda ban in this thread tells me that there's a lot of people who don't know about the realities of financial hardship or how SNAP/EBT works. They just see that blacks are on it, the "NIGGERS could be here" alarms in their heads go off, and then they start eating up every wrong conservative talking point about it.
Quit frankly I don't understand how the Dems haven't realized that focusing on the H1-B/Visa issue is the best way they have to breaking of the collation between MAGA and Big Tech.
Wasn't the biggest fan of hers but she has my respect for outliving her brain tumor prognosis by two years. So young to be hit with a tumor.
Multi stage gayops.
Think they could’ve been trying to flush out a leaker?
