Donald Trump warned Tuesday that if the Democrats don’t approve funding, there are dangers to the future of Social Security and Medicare.
Trump said at a press conference that when he asked Democrats for feedback on the funding bills, one said, “It means death.”
“There’s nothing about death,” Trump said. “Theirs is death because they’re going to lose Medicaid, they’re going to lose Social Security, they’re going to lose Medicare, all of those things are going to be gone because the whole country would be bankrupt, and you’re not going to have any kind of medical insurance.”
We didn’t “pay for nothing,” we contributed toward the well being of people in our communities that cannot work.
Jesus Christ people, it’s not always about you.
With the promise that we would be given the same benefit. We paid in Money most of us would need to invest in our own retirement had it not been going into that system.
People are allowed to feel cheated when they get cheated.
We did pay for nothing if the program gets cut. Sure we took care of old people, now what? I could have used that money for my own retirement. If the system is still in place then it wasn’t for nothing and you’ll be using the younger generations tax dollars for your retirement. So it’s not all about me, but if I don’t get the same benefit why pay in?
That’s the whole point of social security. Not social security for a certain generation tax
You paid for “social security”. It’s literally just right there in the name.
Yeah someone else’s. If the program gets cut then who is paying my social security? Oh yeah. No one. So it’s social security for a certain generation. I could have used that money for my own retirement, but if the programs cut it was social security for boomers and then alone lol.
It’s not “someone else’s,” it’s social security. It’s for the entire society.
Like you realize that the old lady down the road isn’t literally getting the exact same money that you put in, right? They are just numbers on paper. You pay into a fund that is used to benefit all of society. And it does.
Stop looking at it so selfishly and read about why FDR introduced it in the first place.
