SOCIAL SECURITY and MEDICARE/MEDICAID because of debt if you have enough money to "buy" Greenland (which is not interested in selling), and enough money to possibly invade Canada, Mexico, Panama and Greenland. And to fund leon skum's and bezos' space projects.

before Will Smith's Oscar performance.. it's an appropriate thing to say when anyone is unworthy to talk about something. Like our SS & Medicare.

Although I think Smith went way overboard in that case..

or to lower the deficit after they balloon it with tax cuts. They want to keep collecting but not give us the benefits.
Under Bush they were talking about putting it in the stock market--is that back? Tesla stocks, right?

13. Medicare For All
Mon Jan 13, 2025, 11:00 PM
Jan 13

If we had Universal Health Care/Medicare For All we would save an estimated $450 billion dollars a year (this information is from an article in the Lancet from back in February of 2020. I do not immediately have a link.). If the MAGA Republicans are serious about saving money, they would support Medicare For All. It would also save an estimated 68,000 lives a year and vastly improve the health and quality of life of all Americans. The billionaire oligarchs have all the money in the world but apparently they want more, and at the expense of the American people. They really need to be stopped.

Suppose a Democrat wins an election to the House. One of the following would happen:

(1) Current House speaker simply refuses to seat them.
(2) Trump's DOJ simply indicts, arrests, convicts them.
(3) Trump's allies (Proud Boys, Groypers, etc.) carry out an extrajudicial killing.

Any of these would of course result in legal action by our side, which would be squashed by Trump's Supreme Court.

pretty sure it would kill the R party for 20 to 30 years which would be a good thing. But I don't
want to see my SS cut one little bit.
