Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

[chop2chip]

Kill social security, open up big-ass government-run nursing homes to care for the elderly poor and tell any future retiree who wants to live out their days in the comfort of their own home to start saving their fucking money now.

Oh nice. So you support getting rid of social security contributions?

Yes. I think services for people who cannot care for themselves can be moved to Medicaid/Medicare, and we could then take the enormous funding we put toward this program and use it toward medical care across the board, to include elder care for those who need shelter whether they’re able-bodied or not.

I have some news for you and Lil Marco. Trump has for all practical purposes withdrawn from NATO.

Our entire system is built to transfer wealth from young people who have the least amount of money to old people who have the most

Is this SS? If so, I hate the system, but old people should be able to get back part of what they paid in

What “enormous funding”? Social Security entirely funded by social security payroll taxes and taxes on social security benefits. What you’re advocating for is a massive tax on workers (who won’t receive anything now) to pay for healthcare for non-workers and seniors.

I’m aware of how social security is funded. That was a half-cocked proposal on my part, but I got imaginative. I’d remain interested in simply ending social security in its current form and look at other avenues for how to publicly care for the elderly.

Social security, medicare are the two big ones. But they also get every tax break we can imagine at the federal, state, and local level. Everything is designed for the olds, bc they are the voters and make up the government who writes the laws
