I admit it, I was wrong.

I should have known it was giving trump too much credit when he said, "the republicans should absolutely not talk about cutting Social Security or Medicare".  I admit I was surprised when he finally said something reasonable that made sense politically.

  But it turns out trump didn't say it because it made sense, he said it because he was setting up DeSantis.  It turns out that while DeSantis was in Congress he voted to cut Social Security & Medicare every chance he got.  In fact, cutting Social Security & Medicare was one of DeSantis's number one issues.

  DeSantis is piling up quite a few negatives, from his anti-vax stand, his "don't say Black" initiative, to "cut the hell out of SS & Medicare. Just wait until people find out about DeSantis's $2 billion reinsurance subsidy for the rich property owners in Florida.

(cutting Social Security & Medicare)

We'll cut is the wrong word and used as a political tool - and I realize for whatever reason no politician, or at least very very few, can utter the words fix SS & medicare without being demonized ....... but as I've said before it's time to fix and save SS.

The average life span was 63 when SS started, now it's 78 thus time to do a step-laddered in raise for SS from 62 to 65 & 70 to 73; and same with medicare from 65 to 68 or something similar for both.  

All of us know this is needed - any brave politicians out there that will admit the obvious and pursue it?

So Ed, when did you first start drawing SS?

[Edmund55]

(Ed, you know, don't you, that missed the whole point.)

No, I didn't.

I’d estimate from  40-45 years from now, depending on whether not they change the starting age.

When you count the rings of experiences and exposure for little Eddie like you would a tree you will likely come up with somewhere in the early to mid-20’s.  He’s running a schtick contrived and practiced to impress someone and hold on to something expected, and bringing it here.

INCEL personified.

Did Ed say something you disagree with?

[Edmund55]

(He’s running a schtick contrived and practiced to impress someone and hold on to something expected, and bringing it here.)

Who else is stating the obvious? and thus who would I be impressing?

  Social Security or Medicare were never intended to give free ride to whores that do nothing but flop on their back and spread their legs with one hand in the air.

You libs have destroyed the system that was put in place for older and sick people.

[henrikstudson]

You do seem to have a lot of experience with whores that spread their legs for a living.  Second time you posted that type of comment.  

[rickgthf]

I admit I don't have much experience with whores but I'm puzzled by that one.
