I think that bears repeating every time a Democrat has an audience. I believe the current way of saying it is "Dat's da bomb!"

1. Anybody remember when Al Gore vowed to put Social Security into a lockbox?

That became a joke at the time.

I wish he had gotten a chance to do exactly that.

And I hope next year prosecutors will toss Trump and his crazed ideas into a nice big lockbox with bars on the door.

5. Yes I remember and the assholes who made

it a joke

11. I remember Bush agreed unless there was a war.

That didn’t take long.

2. I wonder how that will go over with all of his supporters living in The Villages.

Aren't some of the people on Social Security part of his base?

9. They know perfectly well that THEIR benefits are safe.

Republicans aren't stupid enough to cut off current Social Security recipients. They know retirees comprise a very large portion of their voter base. Social Security will be reduced or eliminated for future recipients only. Trump voting seniors have no problem with that at all. They like it when the younger people are fucked over.

3. Yea, the idiot said he would do away with the payroll tax

When questioned, he said Social Security would come out of the general fund. He is the worlds largest fool.

4. Barking mad has to be the most stupid Puppet Putin

ever snagged

6. What's his game? Sounds like he doesn't WANT to get re-elected.

I got the impression before that day of infamy in November 2016 that he didn’t want to win then either.

8. No, I think his game is not trying to hide anything anymore.

He just admits all the shit he is going to do. And nobody seems to be able to stop him.

14. +1.... totally agree.. He will shoot him self in the foot with that comment. nt

7. His idiot supporters say "That isn't what he means"

I got in an argument last night with some. Didn't last too long as I just said doesn't matter what I say, they won't believe me until their social security is cut off.

[Mariana]

10. Their Social Security won't be cut off, and they know it.

Younger people who haven't retired yet will lose some or all of their benefits. Current recipients' benefits won't be touched.

[shanti]

12. Not necessarily

I read that current retirees will have a benefit cut if Chump gets his wish.

[Mariana]

13. Where did you read that Trump plans to cut off current retirees? nt.

[shanti]

15. It was a few days ago

Sorry, don't remember where, but I'll look for it.

[Mariana]

16. Thanks. nt.

18. Nothing there says he intends to end benefits to current recipients. nt.

19. Not end, cut

If the payroll tax is dropped, SS will be cut.
