AWK is another one of those conservatives who I think really has become noticeably dumber during the Trump era.

The SSA not only disagrees with you, but they point to a different party that changed the accounting rules...

Note that in 1968, the Democrats controlled the Senate, House, and Presidency...

 

I posted above some data for you.

Johnson borrowed money against SS to pay for the Vietnam War. Reagan and Bush borrowed money against SS to pay for tax cuts.

But, again, those citizens at the bottom of the pay scale pay federal payroll taxes. They pay into SS and Medicare. Do you claim teachers, or other government employees, those who exempt from SS tax and also from benefits, do not pay federal income tax? 
 

Yeah, I am concerned about not letting old people starve and also about medical care for sick people. And, while I am open to means testing for recipients, I know where the vast majority of wealth this nation has created over the past half century is located, and I support WW2 era tax policies upon that wealth.

You DO understand that SS and MC will soon not take in enough money to pay out current benefits within a decade, right?

In a decade, if something doesn't get fixed/reformed/whateveryouwanttocallit with both programs, the "wealth transfer" that bozo doesn't want WILL occur...

So, if you'd like to ignore the upcoming problem, feel free...

But, at some point in time, even the Democrats will be voting to reduce benefits when they realize the "Social Security Trust Fund" is nothing more than this:

Just because it’s the SS program that will be running a deficit doesn’t mean that it’s the SS program that will need to see benefit cuts.

You DO understand that is a graph of federal REVENUES, right?

Can you explain how those revenues increasing contradicts my other post?

you DO understand that federal REVENUES includes payroll taxes which those "50% pay 0%" people pay, right?

 

apparently not or you wouldn't have posted dumb shit like "50% pay 0%" right after posting a graph of federal REVENUES.

He didn’t get dumber and they didn’t generally. They just retained a conservative political vocabulary even though their political tribe abandoned its conservative economic policy posture for this. So there’s a lot of cognitive dissonance there. It’s like you put Jay Gould’s brain in William Jennings Bryan’s mouth. 

Well yeah… she works in the receiving office. She can still tender inbound loads with one foot.

Fortunately, it seems Amazon changed their tune, probably once they realized the media was in touch with her.

The Amazon warehouse where she works originally denied her request for a leave of absence, but the company said in a statement Friday that they've since spoken with her and given her time off with pay.

Do we know what kind of leave of absence she was requesting?  I find it hard to imagine that they were telling her she'd be fired if she didn't show up to work today. I work at a place with stellar benefits, but if the same thing happened to me I'd be paid for as long as the sick time lasted and given an option for leave without pay after that.

He’s not dumber. You’ve just noticed it.

I’m just reminded why I already had him on ignore.

Are you aware that wealth and income are two separate things?

Nope.

They'll just borrow more.  Do more of that @Bozo_Casanova "wealth transfer" he's against...

I do.

I also want it to be upside down.

I’ll bet that as soon as Trump is sworn in, he makes some incoherent speech to raise the flag to full mast and they do it.

Sure. And how wealth can avoid income.

These stupid fucks claim they are worried about “spending” 

When is the last republican administration who made meaningful cuts in spending?

My man, they're owned by billionaires. Their sole purpose is to enrich their owners and stake holders. Nothing more than that. Civics are dead and privatized

Gives us JD Vance as president?  Not sure that would be better. 

The same people who voted for that turd will say women are too emotional to hold the office. Drama Queen in Chief.

Neither are a good choice as both are just white trash human beings to their core. Just incredible that we share a country with 77 million people who think either of these horrific people care even one iota about them.

Trump’s America encompasses corporations shitting on their employees without interference of government regulations. Like sick leave.
