Define "pull their weight".

That's not a feature, that's a bug. I don't love it, and I'm not leaving. I just kiss that money goodbye as if I was setting it on fire every month. In the mean time I'll continue to employ Americans at my company, pay taxes, and plan for the eventual demise of all financial institutions, because if they don't fail I'll at-least still be in a better financial position than 99% of everyone else.

Social security doesn't work that way. You are supposed to get out of it what you put in to it. But in reality it has a negative rate of return. It is worse than putting the cash under your mattress.

The fuck it is. I'm compelled to pay in every pay check against my will.

And they can be renegotiated at any time. Nothing is ever set in stone.

True

Who here is shocked? Anyone?

What do you suggest?

Lol sure. And biden was powerless.

Deficit spending is the trolling. Hope your yearly raises have been out pacing inflation!

I think the Afghans would like a word. Oh, they are dead.

Thanks. Now ask me about my plan to make social security optional.

That's such a strange DNC talking point, "Programs already authorized". Program funding changes all the time.

That's a risk I'm willing to take. All the positive things you listed have already been accomplished anyway. Europe can clean up the crumbs without us.

And the Gold standard is fantastic. If deficit spending is so great why the crypto currency boom?

This article is about continuing funding Ukraine during a government shut down, not backing out entirely or never funding Ukraine in the first place.

Making them 2 different things in the first place was the disaster.

That's the problem.

Don't worry, say climate change is no big deal or that Biden has dementia and see what happens.

That's certainly a even more simple way to view things.
