Right around the same time they started turning against trans folks. Almost like there’s been a change in management.
It’s ran and owned by rich fucks who don’t pay into it of course they rather we work until we die and die when we are longer useful.
Direct quote:
Both parties will have to compromise: Republicans must accept the necessity of collecting what the government is owed and of imposing taxes on the wealthy. Democrats must recognize that changes to Social Security and Medicare, the major drivers of expected federal spending growth, should be on the table. Anything less will prove fiscally unsustainable.
Reading the article, it seemed they were trying to get consensus between the democratic and republican party. I don’t like the idea of cutting these programs, they are vital to sustain our social safety net. But avoiding the cuts requires money.
Or… We correctly tax the rich, corporations, create a single payer medical system, and stop letting the Republicans blow massive deficits without limits and then turn around and point the finger at Democrats when they are not in power.
Most of our current debt is from:
- Iraq war (Republican)
- Tax Cuts (Republican)
- Afghanistan war (Republican)
- More Tax Cuts (Republican)
- Covid relief with no over site (Republican)
If we stop the grift of the Right suddenly I bet we could have afforded to take care of every person born, and immigrating to the USA.
