McConnell calls for entitlement cuts....to ease disturbing debt

[georgephillip]

I do not understand why every Dem everywhere is not running on THIS.

All they have to do is say interest payments on the rapidly accelerated debt and deficits are now one of largest expenditures of tax revenue. Which leavse only two choices. Take the corporate tax cuts back or...

Another likely candidate for cutting?

So you are saying Obama spent more and you have just ruined Julie's point...How thoughtful.

You have the quote to which you refer, obviously?

Ask and ye shall receive...

I’m sure you asked for a link because you found it deplorable and now wish to bash Trump?

Bash away.

;-)

 

[georgephillip]

Trump even said his public ridicule of Christine Ford was justified because....it worked. He “won.”

Utterly deplorable.

There are roughly 246 million adults in the US.
How many support Trump?

He said no such thing. How could you paint yourself into a corner like that? Just how stupid are you?

No thought required to recognize how Pentagon corruption is supported by both major parties.

hee hee...you always set new standards for being deplorable - that’s exactly what he said, as the link plainly reveals.

Do you try to reach new lows among your fellow deplorables, or does it just come naturally?

;-)

Stay focused. McConnell is announcing the Republican plan to screw the average joe on entitlements. Entitlements are what YOU pay for. It's the premiums on your insurance plan to keep you safe and healthy in your retirement.
Remember what happened when GW Bush pushed his plan to privatize Social Security?

I have private insurance, and entitlements are more than just that.

 

[Colorforms]

Gee, I hope Trump and the repubnuts make that their platform...end social security, medicare and Medicaid...should be a real vote getter.

Wow, cutting entitlements to ending programs. You are the most dishonest poster ever.

As always, your massive dodge is noted.

it's easy to see whose scared of losing their entitlements

and didn't plan ahead for life!--------------libs

In Trumplandia, the trolls ask for links, get them, deny the links say what they say, and then screech accusations of dodging. Standard troll barking in Trumplandia, where the resident trolls have no civic pride in their homeland.

So a book by a radical left wing "Counter Punch" editor who hates America like you is your example. How about you do like I do and use what would be considered an opposition piece in your post. I quote from the WaPo and The NYT all the time.

No if the GOP remains in control it's not. They will throw granny off the cliff long before they throw the Pentagon's wish list in the trash.

I'll bet you'd love to see granny thrown off the cliff, wouldn't you, Rape Boy? But not before you had a shot at her first, right?

Your link:

"McConnell’s comments give Democrats more fodder for an argument that they’ve been making in campaigns across the map: That the GOP will ultimately try to pay for its tax cuts by slashing social programs.

"The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected that the GOP tax cuts would add $1.9 trillion to the national debt over the next decade.

"The loss of government revenue from the cuts has been a larger proportional loss than what was caused by the Great Recession, according to the New York Times."

Mitch and other Republicans haven't stopped celebrating their Kavanaugh "victory". Possibly this announcement was just applying a little more salt in Democrat's wounds, or maybe Mitch expects voter suppression efforts will allow Republicans to maintain control of congress after next month's mid-terms?

McConnell makes his "we're going to cut entitlements" statement because he knows the Republican base is too stupid to pay attention and actually THINK what it would mean to them.

Alright.
The problem is, these scoundrels of both parties are raiding the $treasury!

"They would have us borrow $700 $Billion $Dollars over the next ten years, to give a tax cut of about a $hundred $thousand $dollars each to folks who are already $millionaires." U.S. President Obama 2010

And that's just what Trump/Repubs did.

There's a lot more money in killing foreign grannies.

You're talking about the loons who want government to keep its hands of their Social Security?
