LOL, ensure and fix, now tell the truth , they wanted it cut by 50% . Sorry not a fix. Dems have tried but shot down by guess who?

Dems haven't even suggested one proposal that would fix SS long term. Not one (unless you consider 5 years long term). Their only suggestion/proposal is to eliminate the cap taken out for SS. And the CBC said that would have only have kept SS solvent for an additional 5 years. Those figures are 12 years old now, pretty sure because of those wasted years it is less than 5 years for the Dem plan by this point. The GOP would have to add 12 years to the grandfathered age which effects the planning of those effected and makes opposition greater.

Good read here , shows you how each party feels about the fixes suggested for SS. Seems the voters have no problem ,it's the politicians that are using it like a football.

70% and 71%. After both proven 100% absolutely false….def not a cult.

This is why the media is the enemy of the people, they pushed these lies without verifying a single fact and willfully ignored evidence simply because of the dislike for the President.

We were talking about extending the solvency not shortening it. The CBO already scored (in 2011) what eliminating the 160K cap would provide and they stated it would extend SS solvency by as little as 5 years and at most 10 years meaning SS would be insolvent between 2041 and 2046 (Since then projections accelerated the time period for insolvency from 2036 to 2033). Sanders was basically lying through his ass (He was aware of the CBO score made 12 years ago) when he made this claim, of course he will probably be dead by the time it does actually go insolvent in 10-12 years. Heck his proposal would have taken the additional funds needed to extend solvency 5 years for an immediate increase in payments now to recipients. A friggen awful proposal that would have made things worse.

Rep. Lauren Boebert says she decided it was 'cheaper to have a kid' after seeing the price of one month of birth control: 'Now I have my third son'



Some of the Brightest Republican minds!


https://news.yahoo.com/rep-lauren-boebert-says-she-182640302.html

The Colorado GOP congresswoman had her first child when she was in high school.

She said it "turned out to be a really great thing," noting that she's since had three children.

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado made an eyebrow-raising comment on Wednesday: that she first began having children after balking at the price of birth control at a local pharmacy.

"My staff is probably gonna talk to me about this later," Boebert quipped as she began recounting the "fun little story" during a House Oversight Committee hearing on prescription drugs on Wednesday.

Boebert asked witness Kevin Duane, the owner of a pharmacy in Jacksonville, Florida, if he'd seen patients leave their prescribed medicines at his pharmacy due to being unable to pay — before saying that she had done just that.

"I left a prescription at a pharmacy once — I went to get birth control," said Boebert. "I was there at the counter, and went to pay for it, and the price was very, very high."

Boebert said she initially thought the cost may have been for a three to six-month prescription, but was informed that it was just for one month.

"And I said, 'it's cheaper to have a kid,'" Boebert recalled. "And I left it there, and now I have my third son, Kaydon Boebert."


Condoms were under $5 back then.

Biden hasn’t done a fucking thing. Fuck up border, fentanyl pouring border causing overdoses,record inflation, record high food prices, war in Europe, high energy prices. Lied about election laws, endorsing sex changes for minors, traded the most wanted arms dealer for a dumbass basketball player, stokes false racial narratives.

Fuck Biden. Trump was a much better President, the country was in a much better place
