The Right Side of the News

And, as has been explained to you repeatedly, that is simply not true.Social Security and Medicare are funded from a Trust Fund and by law they cannot spend any money not already in the Trust Fund. They cannot by law run a debt or contribute to the deficit.Learn the basics so you will know when folk like the Heritage Foundation are simply telling more porkies.Medicaid is funded jointly by the Federal and the States and is NOT a fixed cost. The Feds pay a percentage of the Medicaid costs and the States must fund the balance. You can actually see what the Federal share is by state at this link.Stop taking the snake oil.

A more honest appraisal is that Trump and today's Republicans would like to raid the funds in the Social Security and Medicare Trusts to steal those funds to pay for their stupidity and greed.

He lies Faith.

He lies Faith. He knows that his audience is trained not to check reality but just believe when he TESTIFIES.

They are liars when they market totally false, verifiable and actually very basic information. They lie because they know you are too gullible and deplorable to actually check the facts.

But once again, Social Security does NOT add to the deficit. To say it does is simply not true.

No Phat, they can and do touch those expenses. They just changed the benefits retirement age brackets not too many years ago, they can do so in the future and they can also change how the payments are indexed to inflation.

There is a simpler, fairer and faster fourth solution. Simply remove the Social Security Tax Limit.

And the actual tax rate is also subject to adjustment.But of all the issues out there funding Social Security and Health Care are really among the trivial ones. Almost every other developed nation has solved those issues long ago.Once again the US suffers from NIH (Not Invented Here) syndrome.

And education!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw Pelosi's behavior as petty and that she came across as playground reaction after Trump snubbing her when he presented the text.But both were pretty much childish.Edited by jar, : only one "e" in her

It can't happen hereIt was predicted in 1935.

It was an assigned reading back when I was in the 8th or 9th grade IIRC. About the same time 1984 and Animal Farm and Words in Thought and Action were mandatory reading.

And this Joe Walsh just pulled out of the race.

Can I get a BIG AMEN!We have utterly failed in the task of educating citizens in the US and unfortunately one of the biggest causes has been STEM. The goal of education should not be just training workers. When we concentrated on that we threw out the humanities as well as all civic education and yet expect our voters to be able to make reasoned fact based decisions.Ain't gonna happen!Edited by jar, : fix sub-title
