Do you believe that to be the position of the Trump economic team? Would they admit to that position?

Who would bear the burden of such a plan?

In 2015 Trump ran as a fiscal conservative. He was anything but that. So we can disregard anything he claims he will do as nonsense.

Yes. But populism is meaningless after the “populii” part. What are the people being led to? What do they believe? What are the solutions for the issues that the people believe to be important?

You are right. And for some reason the debt is Trump’s fault when 100% of the authority to appropriate and spend money comes from congress. They probably believe impeachment means removal too.

How would you like to be the new age to collect what you paid into 66.5 to get your SS payments. You can no longer do the same profession you have done for 48 years because of arthritis.

You can enjoy life and grandbabies barely; and then they change it to 70?

DeSantis is the Governor of Florida and has always been for Paul Ryan's plan.

Paul Ryan is suddenly very anxious because DC stole from SS.

DeSantis pinky swore with Paul Ryan to promote this crap of insolvency. Screwing people over. They spend money on studying Chinese hookers while they are drunk and on Ukraine for a proxy fake war.

frick them if they change SS to 70. Ron is from Fla. he is el stupido kicking out all the illegal laborers as well...

Ask Macron what happened when he did.

They’re perfectly happy to jettison conservatism for Trumpism. And they don’t even need to know what Trumpism is. Just that Trump is leading it.

Correct. He could do a 180 on everything he has stood for tomorrow and everyone in Cult45 would buy in instantly

Lol. DeSantis has proposed nothing that looks like this. This is literally the same argument that Democrats since Tip O’Neill have been using to keep from reforming SS. Embarrassing.

They believe in Trump. Hell, they say as much all the time. We've got people here ostensibly from the right side of the aisle sticking up for figgin Disney, all because the guy who went after Disney is Trump's opponent.

NO ONE has said they would change the age for those close to retirement.

Look back to what Reagan did to improve SS's solvency.

Or keep sticking your head in the sand.

I read this as Trump accomplished nothing, then. He didn’t confirm SCOTUS justices. He didn’t cut taxes. Nothing.

You take no responsibility, you get no credit. You’re a shadow of a moral being.

A populist can be far Left or far Right and anything in between. Most Trumpers do not consider themselves big spending/big gov't types, I'm pretty sure. Even though that's what MAGA is.

We are past the point of no return. We are better off inflating the debt and keeping the military and navy strong so we control economic policy around the world.

So you support the version of Trumpism that combines the domestic spending/goals of Leftism with the military spending/goals of neocons?

And this is how you define "conservatism"?

I’m saying the legislative branch had total control of spending. They give the president his slush fund but they have control.

Do you realize congress has not passed a line item budget since 2008? Every budget since then has been a continuing resolution (with the 2008 $800 billion Stimulus still included) with a COLA attached to each CR.

Well Trumpism is the real conservative stance. Didn't you get the memo?

He signed the spending (which wasn't his first) and then complained they didn't spend more (on vote buying)
