Blackpilled because I pay attention, but hopeful because I know how the story ends. Football, politics, and theology. #miamidolphins #NewFederalistAlliance

@RMConservative Everything about the modern GOP is fake and exists for the purpose of making money and launching media careers. This era will go down as the biggest missed opportunity in American political history.

@ChrisMartzWX You're like what, 25 whole years old? Yet think you're some kind of expert on how to "fix" SS? Privatizing still has the same end result. What do you do with the 75 million people ON SS TODAY and the 25M or so approaching SS that will NEED SS to survive? You gloss over this.

Let me grab some crayons. 🖍️ I’ll explain this to you like you’re five. The money you paid into Social Security has already been SPENT. 💸 Puff the magic dragon, it is gone. Your money is not kept in a lockbox just for you to earn interest and pay ya back when you become age-eligible to receive the benefits. 🚫 🗃️ It’s not a retirement fund. The money you get in return comes out of the paychecks of currently working people vis payroll taxes. Beneficiaries will often (albeit not always) get more in return than they paid in. And because the ratio of workers to retirees has shrunk from 16:1 in 1960 to 2:1 today, there aren’t enough workers pitching in to keep the pool of funds filled. So, the government has to borrow money they don’t have to make up the difference. The Treasury’s BEP then prints money to try compensating for the debt, which then causes inflation. 🖨️ 💵 = 📉 💵 value = 📈 💰 costs You have bought into FDR’s scam hook, line, and sinker. All the more reason it should have been privatized a long time ago.

@ChrisMartzWX How did my paying 12.4% to SS my whole career contribute to the deficit math genius 😀?

@JesseKellyDC Not surprising. It should be self evident by now that the Republican primary voter is beyond help.

If you’re still arguing about “left vs. right,” then you clearly don’t understand what is happening.

@JoelWBerry Certainly doesn’t help that the administration has fought to maintain access to Mifepristone, which accounts for over 60% of American abortions every year.

@megbasham In another era, it would probably be endearing, but I find it very hard to be swayed by circuses while the country is coming apart at the seams and the President is allowing tech giants to build a police state that would’ve made King George III blush.

@FiveTimesAugust Amazing what is possible when your “movement” revolves around the monetary whims of one man.

@just_mindy On a different note, this is one of the reasons I don’t believe it was planned or staged. If it was something like that, the shooter (aka the loose end) would be dead.

I’m just in shock that Secret Service missed this dude after firing multiple times and he only got caught because he TRIPPED and that’s not really concerning to people.

@20Gone @ChrisMartzWX That’s not it try again. Why do we have a cash flow problem? And no saving over time for retirement is tried and true. It does work. But Ponzi deficit spending doesn’t work. Good lord be logical

I understand your argument. And, I don’t blame you. My point is that the money you paid into Social Security for x number of years has already been spent. It’s gone. So, in order for you to get your hundreds of thousands back, realistically, it would have to come from the Payroll taxes of currently working Americans and printing of money by the U.S. Treasury. And, that is already what the existing system does. The solution to the problem we have with Social Security cannot be what’s causing problem to begin with. Unless Social Security is privatized such that you have your OWN fund, then any other solution will cause certain people some serious economic pain. This is why this scam should have been dealt with 50 years ago.

@ChrisMartzWX The boomers/conservatives simply want back what was stolen from them. Nothing wrong with wanting YOUR money back. Social security is a ponzi scheme and should be stopped immediately.

@20Gone @ChrisMartzWX Because you don’t or won’t address the root cause the problem will continue. So you’re not solving anything

@JohnSmith410846 @ChrisMartzWX As for it being a lazy argument, no, it’s not when you realize that SS as currently constituted is a losing battle and should be phased out over about 25 years to allow for private investment. Nothing at all lazy about that.

@20Gone @ChrisMartzWX Don’t lump. SS is 1.7 trillion. Just don’t deficit spend. But that would address the cause of the problem. Only way to solve it. So much easier to demonize seniors as if they’re the problem not the potential victim. Lazy and it won’t solve the problem

@JohnSmith410846 @ChrisMartzWX That sounds nice in theory but entitlements account for the majority of our budgetary woes by a mile. You don’t even begin to fix our fiscal situation without addressing that and the military. Everything else is peanuts.

@20Gone @ChrisMartzWX That won't fix anything if you don't address all of the other useless crap we spend money on. Which is how we got here in the first place. Not evil greedy boomers. Imagine that identifying a problem's root cause first. But the easy lazy fix is stiffing folks. Bernie Madoff style
