That is silly even for this poster. The claim is libbies drive the results of DOGE and their false claims and pitiful results. Sure. The cognitive breakfrom reality is pervasive in the Pubs. LOL
Sure sport you're just such a tough guy on your keyboard. Oh no, how will I endure. Here's a thought, how about you attempt (first time for everything) to engage in a mature discussion with actual thought rather than this juvenile crap: "If they weren’t, then the libbies here, 99.5% of the Democrats, plus all of their accomplices in media would still be wearing their panties and not wadding them up and throwing g them at people." Be better.
One can’t look over your history of emotional rants and come anywhere near anything that resembles mature discussion. So I don’t even think you can sell that to anyone here other than maybe Jj and Jo. I’ve sent you back to the showers so many times here it’s like arguing with my 21 year old. I’m frankly surprised you would even pop your head out of your safe space. You requesting mature discussion, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I guess maybe I should just go ahead and laugh because you probably need to care about something to cry over it.
That's okay I knew it would be a reach for you. Your consistent lack of ability to link anything to support any of your positions foretold. along with your imaginary glorious victories over me made me certain that you'd never engage honestly anyway. BTW... your attitude is very sub-standard, perhaps add more fiber to your diet.
Given the number of times I have thoroughly dismantled your positions line by line I will just overlook your current nonsense. You’re more or less just like your typical FSU fan who is always bitter about something, but that something is never just that they aren’t that good.
Musk apparently called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme" when on Rogan. I don't know if he really thinks that's a fair characterization, but if he does it doesn't seem unreasonable to believe he wants to do a lot more than identify some waste or abuse.
If DOGE has evidence that huge numbers of Social Security checks are being sent for the benefit of 150 year-old dead people and that those checks are being fraudulently negotiated, shouldn't we expect to see a commensurate number of criminal indictments?
The numbers just don't add up for Musk and DOGE unless they include the revenue side and that derails the tax cuts. There are about 3 million federal employees, representing 1.8% of the total labor force, which has gone down from 3% in the 70's. The avg salary of a federal worker is about $106,000.00. If everyone were laid off, the total savings would be around 250 billion. To support the 4.5 trillion tax cut Trump needs for himself and friends to live comfortably, there's a huge gap that will explode the deficit. From the short article in the New Yorker The Musk-Trump War on Federal Employees Doesn’t Add Up Trump will need to obfuscate the issue to the public, which from the townhalls doesn't seem to be working very well, leaving it to cow any resistance from Republicans to vote in the tax cuts, which probably will work. Can we clone Lisa Murkowski?
Looks like Social Security is cancelled for the next four years, for those looking to start benefits. In theory, you can still sign up for benefits. In actuality, you need someone to be in the office to sign you up. That's where Trump and the Muskrat come in. They are massively reducing staff at SSA, even though it is understaffed. They are confident that this action will not hurt billionaires one bit. Only 30,000 people died in 2023 waiting to get a decision on SS disability benefits. Those people are not expected to complain in 2025. Commentary: Trump, the GOP and DOGE have launched their attack on Social Security. You should start worrying now
The Dems had 3 major problems heading into the 2024 election: 1) The economy 2) Chaos abroad (Ukraine, Gaza) 3) Chaos at home (southern border) Historically, having a problem with just 1 of the 3 is enough to tank the incumbent party in a presidential election Per political bettor Robert Barnes
Democrats and some RINO's want to cover this up. MAGA wants to expose and prosecute. We know who the real patriots are. And we know who the traitors are. How the NGO's rip us off per @LizMacDonald on X. "This is disturbing – Biden and Obama Democrats created a new beast, the “popup nonprofit shell” they suddenly launch to take in your taxpayer money supposedly for things like climate change and illegal immigration. Major front for taxpayer abuse with accusations of grift growing by the hour. Never saw it like this in decades covering IRS/taxes. Check out the tax returns for one of these popup NGO shells, the Climate United Fund which got the biggest nonprofit grant in history out of Biden’s massive climate slush funds. Kamala Harris and Biden’s EPA chief Michael Regan gave $7 billion total to the suddenly created Climate United Fund in April 2024 after it launched just five months earlier in November 30, 2022 when Its tax returns show it started with a tiny $547K in revs. But it spent a massive $451K of that $547k in just two months in 2023, a quarter of that on legal fees and the majority $323K mysteriously blown on no one knows what because its tax returns don’t say. It has no stipulated plans for how it will spend your $7B in tax $$, just ephemeral solar projects in Idaho, Arkansas, and Oregon that amount to only about $50M total, a fraction of the $7B. It also gave money out of that $7b to Power Forward Communities linked to Stacey Abrams. It has little to no details on how much its officers get paid that you typically see on NGO 990s, in fact virtually no details, red flags that it’s a shell. It supposedly is a partnership betw Dem insiders at investment firm Calvert Impact Capital, Community Preservation Corp. and a group called “Self-Help” (irony noted). Beth Bafford is its CEO, a former “special assistant” in Obama’s OMB and a regional field director for the Obama Campaign. As we tweeted about a month ago, it has ties to Democratic Party of California chairman and California State Treasurer Phil Angelides, Obama’s Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx, United Farm Workers of America co-founder Dolores Huerta and Patrice Willoughby of the Congressional Black Caucus. Judge Glock, the Director of Research and Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, noted on X that the Climate United Fund got your $7B ater submitting a small 49-page report. That was all it took."
Reduce staff results in cost cuts —win Delay payments and services results in the Ponzi scheme lasting longer — win sounds like a win/win to me
It’s going to impact current recipients too. https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/08/politics/social-security-administration-staff-cuts/index.html
