Social Security/Medicare Cuts -- 5 Year Pilot Program, the Republican Controlled States Go First.

Last edited Wed Jan 11, 2023, 11:19 AM - Edit history (1)

.

After 5 years, it is reviewed for viability and approval.

Those in Red States carry those cuts if they relocate to a Blue State to prevent mass exoduses.

I know that's not going to happen, but if the Republicans are serious, they need skin in the game.

Nazi Party Poster Displayed on Iowa State Campus

By Gavin Aronsen - November 16, 2016

snip

The display of the Nazi poster was the latest in a series of similar incidents. The week before the election, people chanted “Build the wall” at Latina students outside Campustown restaurant Jeff’s Pizza. On Election Day, a freshman said students yelled “Donald Trump, make America great again” and “Fuck you, ni##ers” from dorm windows at her group of friends.

The day before, ISU President Steven Leath sent a campus-wide email with a YouTube video in which he urged calm. “The 2016 presidential election is arguably one of the most contentious, emotional, and intense elections in history,” said Leath, whose boss, Board of Regents President Bruce Rastetter, was a Trump campaign adviser. “It’s ripped open deep societal wounds and ignited fierce debate in our country.”

Voters won't take kindly to their benefits being cut, and many republican voters are older and depend on SS and Medicare.

Oh well, pls proceed, republicans, even though the Dem-controlled Senate and WH will never let either one happen.

was treated as a big joke -- lock box, ha ha ha -- like global warming because it still snowed in winter (plus Gore wore earth toned clothing).

That’s how they will destroy the social safety net in this country.

A default on our debt will set off a dollar crisis.

The check you get won’t be worth shit after it.
