Which is why you cannot depend on any government to take care of you. You have to produce for yourself and save/invest such that any future government benefit is lagniappe to you. My social security check will be purely for hookers and blow.
And the best news is this: if the dollar or your investments somehow become worthless then you (and everyone else) have bigger things to worry about than retirement!

OT’ers were loaning the money to America!
T-bills and treasury bonds for all.

Sir, I have a change order for your ball room and the Arc De Trump architect is on line 1 with a bid. And your suit against the American taxpayer for the actions of a previous administration was just green lit. Should I tell congress or just use the autopen?

I’d say those three come AFTER the big number one and that’s fraud which is a minimum of 25% if the debt
Well the big number 1 of our budget (read driver of debt) is social security. Followed by Medicare and Medicaid which is 50% of our budget for the 3. Other welfare programs account for another 18% of our budget.
We can’t fix our debt without massive reduction in spending. Also, all of those programs are rife with fraud. Kill the program, the fraud is dead too.

Medicare Medicaid and social security gotta go.
I hate that crap.
Add "free tuition" in there, too.

$402 B Social Security
$270 B Net Interest
$267 B National Defense
$261 B Health
$254 B Medicare

Trump is the only person in Washington who wants to fix it.

Add up all the Covid fraud and all the $ being wasted with all trumps changes and all the money the next president will spend to change everything back and you could probably give a nice rebate to all taxpayers and cure homelessness and hunger in the USA

And do you know where the $43.5 billion came from?
The Federal Reserve Bank typed it in a computer. Poof! Abracadabra. And all the member banks who own stock in the Federal Reserve gets a 6% dividend. For what? Just creating money with a few keystrokes.
We pay taxes to pay a 6% dividend to banks for nothing. No one worked, saved, and deposited money.
How would you like the power to just create a trillion dollars of money out of thin air and earn 6% on that?

No way, man. We were told tariffs would replace the income tax.

Thank goodness he's doing this. I hope this lawsuit sets a precedent that will prevent the IRS from disclosing private info in the future.

He is obviously the only one trying to fix it. You just hate that it's true.
