    Trump Puts Dems On Notice: Will Never Let Dems 'Jeopardize or Hurt Social Security or Medicare'

    [​IMG]
    Dems Warned Not To Jeopardize or Hurt Social Security.

    Trump, who has sewn up the GOP nomination, made it clear that he is singularly focused on cutting government waste, while protecting Social Security and Medicare from Democrats.

    Bribed Joe 'has in recent days attacked Trump after a CNBC interview in which Trump was talking about cutting waste and fraud in government spending.'

    Bribed Joe is big fan of government spending waste and fraud.

    Bribed Joe has lost two years until Trust fund exhaustion.

    'The Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund will be able to pay 100 percent of total scheduled benefits until 2033, one year earlier than reported last year. At that time, the fund's reserves will become depleted and continuing program income will be sufficient to pay 77 percent of scheduled benefits.'

    https://www.ssa.gov/oact/TRSUM/

    When Trump Left, the fund was good until 2035.

    Please discuss.

    Nope, the GOP is on record for wanting to eliminate SS and Medicare so Obama is nothing.

    No politician will ever say they want to cut social security, period. When Biden and his fellow democrats say Trump wants to cut social security they are lying to you. The democrats need to stop talking about Trump and start telling us what their plans for the USA are. Same advice goes for the republicans.

    I agree with your last two sentences. The voters need to hear about issues, not personalities.

    People that work hard their whole lives and expect to be supported by SS afterwords for all their hard work are the people the left HATES the most. They can't control hard working people as much as they can control leachers and moochers
    DISGUSTING!!

    Retirement is right on Topic. Bribed Demented Joe is coming after our 401k's, too? You'd think that Bribed Joe would be satisfied with taking two years off of full Social Security Benefits, moving up by two years, the date when Social Security Retirees will be hit by an abrupted 23% cut in their monthly checks, under current law. But that rat bastard wants to take our 401k's, too?

    What the hell is wrong with this guy. He's already spent us into 20% inflation since the FBI lied him into the WH, what else can he possibly want?

    Has Biden Crime Family ever paid the taxes due on their bribery income?

    That's what he said in the interview:

    There is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in terms of cutting and in terms of also the theft and the bad management of entitlements,” Trump said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

    I guess we SHOULDN'T belive him when he says there is a lot that can be done in terms of "cutting", but we SHOULD believe him when he says he is not going to touch SS and Medicare? Which on of the two is it? He can't take both sides of the issue?

    Here is my take, he opened his big mouth again and said things that are ususally unspoken but understood in GOP world, but, instead of walking it back, he attacks the Dems. Typical....

    Fake News. That's a chopped quote that deliberately twisted what he said.

    The actual quote that they butchered is in the link I provided.

    My advice to all you folks still working -- start saving 10% of your take-home pay, put that money in an IRA or 401k invested in an old established mutual fund. Learn to live on the 90%. When you retire you'll be so glad you took my advice. Yes I took my own advice and retired at age 55.

    That's rich considering it Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security etc., are all DEMOCRAT PROGRAMS.

    This is a classic example of Trump gaslighting projectionism.

    Bribed Joe already took two years off life of the trust fund, which under current law means retirees will be hit by 23% reduction in their Social Security Checks just 9 years.

    Bribed Joe and the Dems will NOT be allowed to harm Social Security any further, if voters give Trump the opportunity to stop them.

    Hey, Joe Biden didn't start the war in Ukraine,

    they just sent over 300 million dollars of weapons
    in mid 2021, which arrived in Feb 2022, and
    the war started after they started using them.

    Coincidence.

    And then we handed over a huge amount of money
    for it, which further damaged our economy and jeopardized
    everything else.

    The money for just that one war will total out at 200,000 million
    dollars. And then there's the border and Bidenomics.

    How did Biden take two years off the life of the trust fund? Just wondering. Everything he did with respect to SS and Medicare was an extension of what Trump did, which was an extension of what Obama did. The last time anyone TRIED to tackle SS, it was GWB, who wanted to privatize it. This, however, died a quick death, because it seems that GOP voters, many of whom are older and on "entitlements", didn't want SS touched.

    Now, to prevent running out of the trust fund, there are really only three options: Reduce benefits, increase retirement age, or raise the salary cap on SS contributions, or a combination of the three. Now, what is Trump going to do? As usual, he bloviates about these things without having any clue, and at the end he has no plan. Just like with health insucrance, which supposedly was easy to fix.

    Ask him.
    Exactly The Bribed Biden family could probably start by paying their back taxes owed on their bribery income.
    You left out Rising Real Wages, like we enjoyed under Trump.

    Fortunately, Trump will never be POTUS again to save or hurt SS or Medicare.

    This kind of news doesn’t affect me at all.
