David Feldman: The risk of Dems' shutting down the gov't and Repub's will blame & take advantage...he may have a point

?t=1155

"Not sure this is the hill Democrats should be dying on"

"voters need to see at least for the first 100 days who these Republicans are, they need to be reminded, and I worry that shutting down the government over 8 billion dollars may cloud the issue...

"this is the most dangerous Republican party in American history and you don't give them and inch, but what if the inch you're giving them is enough rope to hang themselves...."

"my gut tells me a government shut down would be a disaster for Democrats"

"I could be wrong but who's to say the government would open back up?"

"I just can't see Schumer will allow the government to shut down and serving up a gov't shut down on a silver plate for Trump
to blame Democrats with"

I wanted to share all the videos Dr. Ed Weir Phd advising on Social Security....this is just a recent example...

I believe this info is politically pertinent so I am posting it here rather than the Social Security forum...although it's pertinent the as well.

Listen to first 5 minutes where he describes:

" how during the Bush administration just go in there give the money to Wall Street"

"the other way to do it is destroy confidence, do nothing, wait for the cuts to happen in the future (21% in 2034)"

" with no taxes on tips...... no taxes on SS.......no taxes on overtime, cuts will start sooner"

...or they block access to benefits happening now...nobody at social security to help you for new applications, changes, etc.

"all the people filing over the next year, good luck with that"
