    "Why no, Mr. Senior. I expect you to die"

    The pubs want to mess with that so our corpses under bridges can serve as "lessons to the indolent". Letting all the "useless eaters" starve to death has been a major Republican wet dream for decades now.

    I wonder how any old person (or minority, or young person, or just about anyone not a billionaire) could ever vote Republican ever let alone have voted for Trump in 2016. Hopefully, the last 4 years has shown them what the Trumpers have in store for all of us

    The try here is lying about the intention of suspending the payroll tax till 2021 and trying to make it sound like Trump is defunding social security... Which is not what is happening.

    Never stopped libs from making up a lie and running with it. In this case the site where this ridiculous BS lie came from is nothing more than a partisan hack left wing garbage mill.

    We all live on the "dole". The very value our money has is put there by the government and this is how just about every country on the planet's surface operates and why we support going on 8 billion in relative prosperity if not comfort

    Did trump say “I’ll extended beyond the end of the year and terminate the tax”? Yes or no?

    Did trump say he intends to “make permanent cuts to the payroll tax”? Yes or no?

    What is the primary funding mechanism of Social Security?

    Quit taking it out of the context of the executive order.

    You are unable to answer a simple yes or no question because it dismantles your narrative and yet you accuse others of being liars.

    Stay classy

    Previous claims had social security running out in 1982, then 1990, then...

    My comment should be considered a fact.

    The only narrative here is the BS garbage story you are trying to peddle.

    The answer to both questions is yes. The taxes cuts resulting from the executive order will be made permanent as in not have to pay them back in 2021.

    There are reserves, although not enough to sustain the program for years without payroll taxes.

    And the free loaders in the system have long since passed away. Everyone in the system now have paid in.

    It isn’t BS, it is accurate and a direct quote and not even you can dance away from that fact.
    Lets try again and watch you deflect some more…

    Did trump say “I’ll extended beyond the end of the year and terminate the tax”? Yes or no?

    Did trump say he intends to “make permanent cuts to the payroll tax”? Yes or no?

    What is the primary funding mechanism of Social Security?

    It isn't much fun being rich if you don't have peasants to laugh at, apparently.

    So you feel he can make “permanent cuts to the payroll taxes” or “terminate the tax” (if re-elected, which means in 2021) and it not impact Social Security in the slightest?

    Really?

    So trump said it, when previously it was stated that he didn’t, but now it doesn’t really mean what he said...

    And btw, he cannot do this — congress would have to.
    So again, another lie from 45*

    I dont think anything because thats not what is happening. You dont seem to be able to grasp that. Its not in the executive orders.

    It likely will not happen because it exceeds his executive power. He still said it and your desperate attempts to act like he really meant something else is just... sad...

    He is talking about what he would do if reelected. That is what this thread is about. Why do you keep trying to limit this to the executive order?

    SS won’t fall apart because he gave a five month holiday for employees and employers...just like it didn’t when the dems and obama gave a holiday in 2009

    your fearmongering is a obvious sign of desperation

    This thread is about a fantasyland theory being used as scare tactics just like every election year.

    yes Congress needs to act to make this five month holiday permenant so that employees and employers don’t have to pay the tax next year. Hopefully they do and the dems don’t continue to obstruct
