Diminished and Confused - Is Trump OK?

Damn, beat me to it.

 

The bolded is something I really think gets overlooked. Yes, I don't think Biden is as quick as he had been, but that doesn't mean he is stupid or has poor judgement.

Through the ages we venerated the old for their wisdom. Now being old brings nothing but ridicule. "Ok Boomer" is a great example of the disrespect many have for the elders now days.

 

I think you are missing the point, people are pointing out that Trump is in decline to negate the point Biden is in decline. Not the other way around.

Trump's crew is making it a huge deal. Others are pointing out Trump has the same issue, and maybe even worse.

 

Wait so two years in a row, the state has ran over budget to the toon of over 100 billion. The state bleed people for years and continues to create programs that cost money. Yet you think it’s about to have a surplus. Oh also, how many of those big tech companies have been laying people off the past 12 months.

You are not living in reality if you think all the sudden they are going to have a massive surplus as you suggested.

 

All RFK jr has is his name. He is stupidly wrong on vaccines. That is enough for me to drop him from consideration.

 

This reflects a viewpoint prevalent on the right and represents the difference between the right and the left. From my point of view, the right has no problem with tax policy that benefits the wealthy nor with bloated programs favored by the "havs".

Reasonable people can disagree is my point.

 

Not sure how we got on this topic.

I think the right mostly wants to keep corporate tax rate down.
The rich pay more taxes than most of the country and it’s been that way no matter who the president is. The top 10% pay 76% of all taxes.

Anyhow back to reality, California and our country as a whole has a spending problem, not a tax revenue problem.

Now the interest on our debt will soon surpass that of our defense spending. Imagine seeing all of that and thinking, we don’t tax the rich enough.
Damn clown country.

 

Link? Also, what is tax rate rather than amount? Finally what spending would you cut?

POST #64 is how we got on this topic.

 

I think Newsom is waiting for 2028 and also believe Biden would not have run for reelection if Drumpf would have been buried as he should have been.

 

It’s amusing to see Trump fanboys and fan girls rail on Biden for his age and mental gaffes when Trump has just as many spells of mumbling, misremembering and mispronouncing words, and he’ll only get worse with age.

 

You seem dim. I just pointed out why CA had a budget surplus 2 years ago and why they will have one next year (on account of an awesome move in equity markets last year).

 

Who Pays Income Taxes?.

The defense is a great start. Why on earth do we have bases everywhere...

Social Security needs a very thorough audit. Not sure how possible it is though. The manpower to do it would be costly as well.

Also, how is 14% of our budget "Health"? That does not include Medicare.

 

Lot of overhaul is necessary. That it doesn't makes my point, and perhaps yours: everyone has their "this is necessary", and soon we have rapidly increasing debt. My solution? Make drastic cuts in spending and reform the tax code. Will it happen? Not in my lifetime. Everyone has to give a little, an impossibility in today's climate of divisiveness.

 

His brain must be the consistency of apple sauce. I’m worried that when he’s finally imprisoned we won’t know what’s happened to him. That would suck.

 

Somehow he got his hands on Putin's talking point?

 

It doesn’t even matter. His followers aren’t even voting for the man anymore they’re voting for the idea of the man and what comes with that. Even if he’s just a head in a jar they are basically saying they think his handlers are better for country than Biden’s.

 

You can’t say it better than that. Trump has a diseased mind to go along with his diseased personality.

 

Trump's new name for Melania is Mercedes.

This could mean that (1) he has confused her with a car, or (2) he hasn't seen her in so long that he's not sure of her name.
