NOW....... THE WHOLE SHOOTING MATCH..... is Medicare, health insurance, education, Social Security --- gee let me think, who would win that election?


Sure about that?
The electorate sent a message that the dems didn't hear in 2024: Time to address some problems.

Everyone knows that Social Security isn't on the greatest of financial footing only the democrats have been pretending for 40 years that as long as there's 1 rich guy in the country they can tax that 1 dude and all our problems go away. Won't work.

The greatest mistake the GOP ever made was in impeaching Bill Clinton. Had they NOT done that...we would have had a deal in partially privatizing Social Security back then (because Clinton wanted to).

And for the inevitable haters out there, the average return on your Social Security payments is roughly 2-3%. More or less inflation (at least until Biden showed up).

But...$1000 invested in 1996 would be worth north of $16,000 today. Oh, well.
