and replaced them with compliant political toadies
oh, that's right, Trump preemptively fired all the IGs
and replaced them with compliant political toadies
You gave him 4 years to plan out his project
Me?
If I'd had my way, Donald Trump would be in the hoosegow for the rest of his natural life
it could still happen, if Trump survives his second term
You mean his health care plan and infrastructure week?
Trump just does what he's told.
...or, stretched out in the Butler PA. morgue slabbed & tagged.
God: "Uh, uh. Get up. And get on with it. You'll be the first to know when I set you free."
~40% of US births are paid for by Medicaid
~60% of home health care is paid for by Medicaid
it's last ditch help for people who are disabled and otherwise without health insurance
cutting it massively will lead straightforwardly to massive mortality
Start by taking Medicaid away from millions of Nazi's in Ukraine and giving that Medicaid to Americans.
Pull out of Taiwan, Ukraine, Israel, Germany, South Korea, Japan, all of Europe, et al and use that money to give Medicaid to Americans.
Take all aid that is being given to illegal people in America and give it to Medicaid for Americans.
You get the idea, blanket-head.
^^^Doesn't make any sense
(and I'm not Martin Pawley)
I'll boil it down for ya...Before we give another dime, or time to any other country we must take care of every single American.
That way when we start back up helping other countries we'll be secure in the knowledge that every single American has been taken care of first.
what horse , foreign aid is small, like ~1% of the budget
also, y'all have no intention of taking care of every single American
unless by "taking care of," you mean making us all poorer and less free.
Then there should be no problem with sealing that 1% back to Americans.
Cut the MIC to 1% and work backwards: All troops come home. All military bases overseas are closed and destroyed. S. Korea is abandoned, military base closed and destroyed. Same with Israel. Same with Taiwan.
Cut all ties rapidly with historical allies, what could go wrong?
No way Trump will give up the Israel beachhead.
No way all the troops will come home, Trump just declared terrorists in Syria and Somalia.
Trump isn't a peacemaker. Remember the first trump presidency? He bombed the out of three or four countries at least.
stealing from the people to give rich folks a tax cut
https://www.commondreams.org/opinion...security-trumpSSA’s budget comes out of the Social Security trust funds, not general government revenue. That means that when Americans pay into Social Security with every paycheck, they’re also paying for high-quality customer service.
That’s exactly what we would get — if Congress allowed SSA to spend just a few percentage points more of its $2.7 trillion surplus to hire and adequately train staff, open new field offices, and get wait times down. Instead, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are planning to utterly demolish Social Security’s customer service to pay for billionaire tax cuts.
why is the US budget out of balance fiscally?
Bush and Trump tax cuts, and 20 years of foreign wars funded partly off the books
we redistributed too much money to rich people in the last 25 years
the only reason so-called en lement cuts are needed now, is to redistribute even more money to the top of the income scale
https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/...ment-trillions“Martin O’Malley, the former commissioner of the Social Security Administration, said the recent cuts made by tech billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency at the agency could result in the ‘collapse’ of the Social Security system ‘within the next 30 to 90 days.’” — The Hill

FACT 1: People pay into Social Security over their working lifetime and then withdraw from it when they hit their sixties, like an IRA that holds value even when the stock market crashes. This works as long as the number of people paying in is greater than the number of retired people. Stupidly, the forefathers assumed there would always be more working people (sixteen to sixty-seven years old) than there are retirees. This assumption is called a Ponzi scheme.
FACT 2: Unfortunately, a bunch of people had sex all at once in 1945, and now those sex babies are retiring. Unless something intelligent is done, baby boomers will crash Social Security.
FACT 3: The government does not need to pay social security to dead people. Paying money to the dead is actually fraud.
FACT 4: DOGE has been tasked (by ourselves) to eliminate fraud.
FACT 5: We trained our AI on the previous facts, and it accurately pointed out that eliminating cancer research, ignoring pandemics, and stopping flu vaccines would significantly decrease the number of social security payments over time. This is because cancer and illness disproportionately claim the lives of old people. We only need to hasten the deaths of several million baby boomers to save the government $70 trillion over twenty years.
SECOND FACT 5: I have just saved the government $70 trillion. Therefore, that money should be applied to me.
PLAN OF ACTION: DOGE recommends taking that $70 trillion, plus all the other social security money, and investing it in my companies since the ROI will be excellent. For example, I recently turned $290 million, which I paid to get this job, into $70 trillion for myself.
TALKING POINT 1: That’s not corruption; it just shows that I’ll do anything for my shareholders, including mass murder, which is obviously the kind of business a en you need in a CEO / world leader.
TALKING POINT 2: Retirees are a net drain on society because they do not work eighty hours a week. They merely provide free childcare to their grandchildren and pay for unnecessary hobbies like pickleball, contra dancing, and ho e.
TALKING POINT 3: Will baby boomers get mad if we try to kill them off? No, because our social media takeover means they won’t even notice, and in many cases, they will contribute to their own demise (via “alternative” therapies and mistrust of “Western medicine”).
PR PLAN: Flood social media with the message that we’ve turned Social Security into a new program, X-Security, that exclusively eXists to invest in companies with X in the le. Proposed taglines from AI are “As secure as giving your money to your X” and “X-Security: Life will never get better than this.”
MESSAGE TO THE PRESIDENT: X-Security is much smarter than the current system and is actually foolproof, because if our stock goes down, we can continue to adjust health care accordingly.
MESSAGE TO MEDIA OUTLETS: We have saved US taxpayers all the money that exists and eliminated fraud!
SOCIAL MEDIA MESSAGING VIA OUR ALGORITHMS AND INFLUENCERS: Vaccines are bad for you! It’s healthy to get sick! Horse dewormer cures cancer! (Be sure to include exclamation points for a sense of urgency.)
THIS ACTION PLAN IS A TOP PRIORITY: Please email me the names of five baby boomers you helped kill by Monday morning.
believing the FF created social security
I got one point down and already SMH
Of course not on Israel, and by not cutting them off he does himself wrong all across the spectrum. But I take what I can get...(cutting off Urk)...(backing Putin under the guise of securing peace)...threatening to retract from Germany/he won't, but at least he said he might.
We must end the 80 year security guarantee of the European Continent. Let Europe guarantee it's own safety.
Keep those billions of dollars of collected taxes here in the States and never let them out of the U.S. again.
Either , or, get off the pot on the Tariffs. Either give it a real shot (his Presidency), and then let the incoming President take it from there, OR, stipulate that "It can't be done, I was wrong." And return to the fore.
Do not let them (D's & RINO's) run Musk off. No-matter-what.
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/ho...ricans-at-riskAllstate operates at 11 percent overhead as a big insurance company. Liberty Mutual operates at 23 percent overhead. When this agency operated well, Laura, they were allowed to operate at 1.2 percent overhead. I think people running agencies should learn and understand them before they go about dismantling them and crashing them.
For 90 years, they haven't missed a monthly payment, but now they're putting it — being put at great risk of doing that by being hollowed out and being gutted.
Leland Dudek shoved aside at SSA
Shoving good now!!!
