    Remember when a million people marched in Washington DC to protest warrantless wiretapping? They knew who to blame then. Why does the commander in chief no longer bear any responsibility for the actions of the executive branch?

    Guess how many results are found? Zero as of this posting. There is one man that can stop this and who is ultimately responsible for this. You people make me sick.

    The answer to all those questions is no. I find it very revealing that you didn't ask if palestinians have the right to enter israel. Mexico is not invading the US. We don't have to demand anything. Illegal aliens remit 10's of billions of dollars a year to Mexico. We can tax those remittances and use the funds to build a wall. Not real difficult.

    Much of Scandinavia has a freer economy that the US does. Not a single one of those is an example of a socialist country. Sweden used to be socialist but they started a slew of free market reforms in the 1990's that made them the economic powerhouse they are today. They didn't succeed because of socialism, but because they rejected it.

    Yeah just look at examples of left wing governments throughout the 20th century and how good they were for their people. You're an idiot.

    Yep authoritarian socialist is a good discription.

  13. Trump has a cozy relationship with the media? A public media figure has a cozy relationship with the media. Trump plays the news media like a fidlle. Great work anonymous.

    Maybe that used to be the case, but these days we don't all get to decide what to spend things on. So in this new era, it will be just as easy to unilaterally end these parasitic programs as it was to create them.

    If I invested what I am forced to pay into SS, and managed to clear 5% a year. I would retire with multiple millions in my account. Don't act like SS security is some sort of godsend. It's a curse, and stupid people like you are the reason we still have it.

    Additionally, I think your perspective is a little warpe. Entitlement programs don't expose the government to risk. What risk? The government doesn't make any contributions. They have nothing at stake. They mismanage other people's money. It is you and I and every other person that has ever paid a payroll tax, and depended on a promise, that is at risk. And it will fail.

    That's good. Your wife's pension is an example of the proper way to run an entitlement fund, without the scheme. Wisconsin by any chance? Social Security is in no way run like that. It is run like a ponzi scheme.

    Then no ponzi scheme is a ponzi scheme as long as it is funded. The problem with ponzi schemes is that you run out of funding. Every. Single. Time.

    Why say it with a wall of text when 9 words will do. I didn't read your WoT, by the way. Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid are all public assistance.

    SS and Medicare/medicaid most certainly are public assistance, which is what the OP was talking about. And it is not a retirement plan if it cannot sustain itself, which is most certainly the case.

    Sure, and the constitution also says we don't have to actually pay income taxes. Good luck with that one. There are hundreds of ponzi scheme laws in the United States.

    Yes, all TANF is welfare. But not all welfare is TANF. All welfare is public assistance, but not all public assistance is welfare. The original claim was made that 219 years of "public assistance" is the equivalent to the cost of the Iraq war. It's not a difficult concept.
