He's just Transphobic!!!!! *sarcasm*

Also, my google fu sucks. I was looking for a Trans meme that would work, but couldn't find one that would be funny.

We need to treat gender dysphoria the way it was back in DSM-IV:
as a mental illness. Compassion, not wokeness.

Except the pedophiles and those that make death threats. Death penalties for the pedophiles!
 
Well the current DOJ is still going after J6 protesters, and using Lawfare to do it. Existing J6 prisoners aren't getting necessary medical care, from that same DOJ insisting on trans medical care for their beloved prisoner constituents that committed murder, rape, and pedophilia. It's an illogical double standard being repeated over and over.
The Republicans aren't doing shit and haven't the last 3 1/2 years.
 

I have an idea on social security, but first some cut and paste.

It was always setup so you could not get to it. As time advanced and medicine got better people started living longer. In the 1950's they did the "early retirement" thing and lowered the age. But for the first 20 years they did not want anyone to get it. Typical socialist FDR bullshit. Top 5 most shitty pres in history.

So how to fix it, it will be a long term fix, it will take some time to get it back in the black. And I think people might go for it.

Anyone born after 2025 can not get social security until they are 75, or pick your number, but I think that is a good one. People live past that on average today, but I think that might fly.

Social security theft.....err.....deduction form your check will be frozen at the current level. Not .1% more.

Anyone born after 2025 will have half the current rate stolen from their checks.

This will not effect anyone currently on the planet, or any buns in the oven. After those born after 25, they will not take such a hard hit on their checks.

I am sure there are flaws to this idea, but I can't think of one.

Much easier solutions but people will NEVER go for it:

Option #1 - within 3 to 5 years (on average) a retiree has collected all of the money they paid into SS. Tie everyone's SS tax paid to their SS number. When they have drawn out all of the money they paid then the payments stop.

Option #2 - same as #1 but the payer has the option of investing the money in a few very safe options and that return goes to their account. When all of the money paid had been paid out the tap shuts off.

Some information on how the return on SS works:


Variance in money paid in vs paid out:
  • A single man who earned an average income ($66,100) and reaches average life expectancy will pay $498,000 into Social Security and Medicare and receive $692,000 in benefits. ($194,000 more collected then paid)
  • A single woman in that situation will pay $498,000 into the programs and receive $775,000 in benefits (the projection is higher because women live longer). ($277,000 more collected then paid)
  • A married couple consisting of an average earner and a low earner ($95,800 in combined income) will pay a combined $723,000 and receive about $1.3 million in benefits. ($577,000 more collected then paid)
Other than the GOV raiding SS to pay for non-SS shit this is a major problem with the way the system is set up.
 


This is what just got us in the World War III!


Remember back to our war, the first gulf war. They shot missles into Israel hoping to get them to shoot back, and then have the coalition fall apart. I think quite a few calls got made and said just hang on, we will take care of this just give us some time.

I have a feeling the same calls are being made, I would not doubt for a second we see a regime change in Ukraine.

Or how about instead of giving the government $500-750k of your money, you become allowed to put it in a Retirement account like a Roth IRA, etc and have it invested into the market your whole life. Then your 500-750k investment Gets turned into millions and create generational wealth instead of having the government dole out meager Payments.

With a 7k yearly contribution, (11% of a 60k income) for 40 years with a average of an 8% return every year, you end up with 1.8 million in the bank account. You put in 280k and and receive 1.5 mil after taxes, gov makes 300k. AND the economy grows due to constant investment in the market.

Remind me why the fuck we need the government here at all? Give me my fucking money back and let me invest the shit myself. I don’t want social security. I don’t want Medicare. I want to invest my own damn money.

even if the money didn't grow for those 40+ years, $750k could probably pay more in monthly interest than the ssi stipend.
 

The U.S. Senate on Wednesday confirmed two more of Joe Biden’s radical judicial nominees to federal district courts—thanks in part to the absence of key GOP senators.

With Kamala Harris conveniently vacationing in Hawaii, the GOP had a golden opportunity to block these nominations. Instead, their failure to show up handed Democrats another victory.

Democrats confirmed Rebecca L. Pennell to the Eastern District of Washington in a 50-48 vote.


Republican firebrand Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) inexplicably missed the vote, joining Braun in the hall of shame, while Senator Joe Manchin (I-WV) voted against the confirmation.

Just like Eva Longoria, she isn't running because of Trump. She's running because she's on both the Epstein island and Diddy party lists!!

That is the best option but will never happen. The few have to support the many for the betterment of society or some such bullshit.

This is why I. Don't like his plan. If the money was left in my pocket it would have grown to many times that amount, but I am different from most, that vacation or new truck would be where the money went and they would be broke at the end. Nanny gov to the rescue
 
So let's see:
1) J.D Vance for starters....let's say that's letdown #1 of what I'm sure is going to be a number in the high 4 digits.
2) Rubio - all talk, has been since 2010 when he got in. Not a true conservative bone in his body. He's out for one thing...that's Little Itty Bitty Marco.
3) The rest....no shocker either...These people are NOT representing you. Yes, JD is VPOTUS elect; but you still have to do your f'ing job and this was a BIGGIE JD...
early on but the mistake of having those 2 in any power is obvious. didn't have to wait long.

This should make it pretty obvious that the two parties are really only one party with different names. Do you believe that it wasn't already planned?
There's a position in the each party called the "Whip". Look up what the responsibility for this job title is.
All the world is a stage.

I think the only missing part of this is that option, in particular, isn't taking into account earned value of money over time - like how much could I have now if I only was getting 5% on my return inflation adjusted. That is if I'm understanding it. Because folks that worked primarily in the 1970s - 1990s really would get the shaft.

I was all in favor of just outright doing away with SS after a certain age (or born after date). I would have been willing, up to about age 40-45, to GIVE my SS TAX back to the kitty so long as I get 100% of that SS withdrawal money back in my paycheck and no new taxes on that money that was designated for SS (so that % of your tax that is SS would become non-taxable income for investment!!) I think one can pretty much recoup that money with conservative investments over the next 20-25 years. I never did the actual math on that; but at some point, just having the SS TAX stop would allow one to retire with more money; because that money would be in private hands making money (like a 401K).

The debate against the no SS is that people don't have enough self control....ok...so make a law that says it has to go somewhere and cannot be pulled out until 65, but the individual gets a say on where the money is invested. It's not perfect due to the FED jacking with the economy, cyclic nature of stocks, bonds, gold, etc; but it's not quite the Ponzi scheme current SS is.
