Congress is never, ever going to do that.


That's our fault for letting a bunch of self-enriching parasites take hold of our government and use it as their personal slush fund. It would only happen after we purge our elected offices of the parasite class and actually send representatives who share our values.

Reminder - We're AmeriCANs, not AmeriCAN'Ts.

Article V of the Constitution affords us the ability to bypass an uncooperative Congress for matters such as term limits or abolition of the income tax to be replaced by something such as the National Retail Sales Tax.

How do you fight to keep Social Security and Medicare with no cuts, when there's been consistent preaching by conservatives that Social Security is going to be insolvent within the next one to two decades and it either needs to be eliminated or privatized?

This thing reads like a hard bait and switch.

The only way you can truly reform SS is by admitting to America that there's no "Social Security lockbox" and that the entire thing is a Ponzi scheme where this month's payroll taxes pay next month's benefits.

What exactly is a "snake handler?"

And it's a settled State's right issue. As it should be.

Stop outsourcing?

How is that going to happen? Didn't Nixon open up trade with China?

... but the party's platform says no change to the retirement age and no elimination of Social Security.

It's like duplicating the platform of the Democratic Party.

Too late for #13, the US has used the dollar as a weapon so much that it will lose that status.

I don't agree with kicking the can down the road for others to seek to solve the problem, but if you don't do that, then the Dems go straight for "Those mean GOP politicians are going to cut Grandma's Social Security and she's going to have to eat DOG FOOD!"

I love it. The media is pushing the lie that Trump supports Project 2025 despite the fact that he explicitly disavowed it. Now he can get behind this and call the media liars.

At the federal level, the work is finished on abortion. It should be completely left out of national politics.

Precisely. If single-issue abortion-centric voters are itching to die on that hill, it needs to be on the behalf of local politicians.

"Unnamed sources close to Trump say that behind closed doors, he states that he will implement all of Project 2025 when elected President. This comes even after the RNC released it's office platform."

I wish they would quit using the word migrant, which was started by leftists in the last few years.

Illegal alien is the correct vernacular.

The Dobbs fight has been fought and won. Trying to drag it back into the national sphere is 100% radioactive.

#11 - No. That is not the job of the federal govt. Even DC should be ignored. If anything, all the money should be yanked out of DC.
