From Newsweek:
President 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 becausethe whole country would be bankrupt, and you're not going to have any kind of medical insurance." …
This is Donald Trump’s Administration in a nutshell — governing through threats and intimidation while denying any responsibility for the consequences. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are just “Democrat”programs that he and his party won’t mind destroying? This is lunacy.
We elected lunacy. Elections have consequences. 🤡
ReplyDeleteHyperbole? This used to be a good place for information.
ReplyDeleteHe is literally quoting the president. Do the president's words mean nothing?
DeleteSee though, it’s good when the president lies, as long as the president is Trump. But bad if anyone else lies and bad if anyone else tells the truth but in doing undermines the orange one.
DeleteI kept telling you about the awesome might and vast cosmic powers of the Unitary Executive and you kept squishing my comments because you thought I was just trolling.
ReplyDeleteThe Unitary Executive appears to be concluding that it no longer needs to tolerate retirees and the poor working class. Based on this statement, it obviously no longer wants to give them any money because that just encourages them to keep existing.
You: "That's not possible! No one would ever do that! This is lunacy! I banish your comment to the Void!"
Me: "I don't think you understand the Unitary Executive."
Republicans want to bring back the poor houses and poor farms.
