And what about the weather?? Everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.
And how much of that did he get back for his 2022 taxes? Also, how much subsidies did he get to start his businesses? And who trained the employees he hired to start his space program?
Not true…..according to the Honorable Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green! Her latest assertion is that in fact, “the givernment” does control the weather!
God Bless MTG!
Inflation rises 2.4% in September, above expectations
The Labor Department released closely watched inflation data for September that showed the consumer price index rose 2.4% last month, which was slightly above expectations.
Tax those who have the $$$. They are the folks who are benefitting the most. Let them pay “the freight” then.
Not sure that industry is “firing” older more experienced workers, rather most of those workers are choosing to retire. Employers are actually trying to retain their older, more experienced staff.
Since we have a two party system with small advantages in numbers in Congress for either side, there has to be compromise.
The Clinton compromise was to cut spending by by every dollar of tax hikes.
That is what has to happen again.
Partisans on each side demand there view or nothing. If that is the case then NOTHING will get done.

reality is that when clinton left office medicare + social security = $612B
by the time the next president leaves office medicare + social security = $3.1T
"just do what clinton did" doesn't address the fact that so much of the debt is driven by non-discretionary spending (which has increased simply due to demographics...the baby boomers aging)
Democrats have proposed solutions to fix the SS gap here.
GOP will not engage in any discussion of fixes, whatsoever. That is by design, because they want to get rid of it. Despite most retirees actually needing it in retirement to supplement their retirement savings.
Right. The increases in SS and Medicare have been predicted for decades, but no one is willing to do anything about it. It could have been fixed 25 years ago, but it's probably too late now.
Two quick partial fixes would be to double the max withholding and also cut SS payments to anyone over $5 million in assets.
Do you think thr republicans or Democrats in Congress will be more supportive of those measures?
Sure, sure.
Democrats’ Proposals:
- Raise or Eliminate the Cap: Many Democratic lawmakers have pushed for either raising or eliminating the cap on income subject to Social Security taxes. Currently, only income up to a certain amount (e.g., $160,200 in 2023) is subject to the Social Security payroll tax. Democrats argue that lifting this cap would ensure wealthier individuals contribute a fairer share to the Social Security system.
- Senator Bernie Sanders and Senator Elizabeth Warren, among others, have supported legislation to tax higher incomes for Social Security.
Republicans’ Proposals:
- Opposition to Raising the Cap: Republicans have generally been more cautious about increasing the taxable income cap for Social Security. Many in the GOP argue that solutions to Social Security’s long-term funding issues should focus on reducing benefits or raising the retirement age rather than increasing taxes.
Well thats proof enough for me.
Yet when the dems had the house, senate and president they did nothing.
Have you never contributed anything to society?
How many tax dollars did it take to keep you alive last year?
When did they have that “stranglehold” last? It’s been awhile… and maybe only for 2 years since 1992…Republicans have had Congressional control many more years than the Dems.
LOL. During Obama's tenure the Democrats had a filibuster proof Congress for about two months. And despite that they were able to get the ACA done.
Where are all the republican bills to raise the cut off level for SS taxes?
Your ignorance is palpable.
That perfectly describes your level of critical thinking.
Unlike you, yes I have contributed to society. Unlike you magats who live in your trailers by the river, I do not receive tax dollars. So go f**k yourself, as that is probably the only sex you will ever have, dickhead.
No. You're wrong yet again.
- In the Senate, Democrats had 58 seats after the 2008 election. They gained two more seats in 2009:
- Al Franken of Minnesota was finally seated in July 2009 after a lengthy recount.
- Arlen Specter, a Republican senator from Pennsylvania, switched parties to become a Democrat in April 2009.
This gave the Democrats 60 seats, the number needed to overcome a filibuster (60 votes are required to invoke cloture, which ends debate on most legislation).
- However, this filibuster-proof majority was short-lived due to the death of Senator Ted Kennedy in August 2009, followed by the special election of Republican Scott Brown in Massachusetts in January 2010. After Brown's election, the Democrats no longer had 60 votes.
It means you're an ignorant rube who doesn't understand what a filibuster proof majority means.
Completely unsurprised that you're ignorant about this topic as well.
You shouldn't fight inflation.... you would be better off just laying there and taking it.
Maybe try the play dead approach, like a opossum.
Not surprised you would resort to a rape innuendo and take the Bobby Knight view either.
"How do you fight inflation"
"You shouldn't fight, just take it"
Riley...... rape.....
Jesus dude.
Yep.
Just don’t remember one on this.
Got any articles from 1920 or other random fricking years?
Sure, sure.
You for got the "laying there".
You're as big a creep as you are a meathead.
