Alan Kooi Simpson

Love #GrandBargains/hate #greedygeezers. Former Senator from WY livin' the dream on just a Senate pension, inheritance, and speaking fees. Don't be #debtdeniers

[Alan Kooi Simpson @AlanKSimpson]

I'm eternally grateful, @POTUS.

Pres. Biden could have honored someone who was trying to make the world better, but instead, he decided to reward my decades-long advocacy against "greedy geezers" on Social Security taking advantage of hard-working American taxpayers.

Touched😭

BIDEN is giving the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Gabby Giffords, Simone Biles, Steve Jobs, John McCain, Megan Rapinoe, Alan Simpson, Richard Trumka and Denzel Washington. Among others

@DeficitHacks Here's me going "Gangnam Style" agitating for austerity.

Glad @POTUS is honoring me for spending the bulk of my career trying to impoverish elderly and disabled folks!

[Deficit Hacks @DeficitHacks]

Alan Simpson's career is marked by his deranged and obsessive desire to cut Social Security, which he remarked is "like a milk cow with 310 million tits."

Goodbye Pete. Your children - me, @budgethawks, @concordc, @fixthedebt, @BowlesSimpson, @deficitranger, America Speaks, @thecankicksback, @AlanKSimpson, @NickTroiano - will carry on your life's work of punishing the poor in order to shovel wealth upwards.

Seniors beware: The #TrumpBudget is disastrous for you https://t.co/JYqelGKRsA #HandsOff

[Deficit Hacks @DeficitHacks]

Completely false. Some care about the deficit because they are True Believers in the weird, spooky economics where the deficit is the cause of all our problems but all the evidence never, ever points to it.

Others, like me, use it as cudgel to torpedo any sort of good policy. https://t.co/9nliiFLUOs

[Deficit Hacks @DeficitHacks]

Hot take: tackling #nationaldebt is more important than forgiving student debt

-Forgiving student debt does nothing to punish kids for wanting an education

-Paying the national debt helps us atone for our decisions to waste resources on F-35s and tax cuts

What can I say, I'm a fool all the time, especially when talking about politics! https://t.co/JqQXSPhuux

Congrats to Ann and @AlanKSimpson & Lynne and Pete Simpson @psf85 for winning @CUBoulder @Centerwest 2017 #WallaceStegner Award! https://t.co/iHPOIy0hQa

[Alan Kooi Simpson @AlanKSimpson]

It's true: I only care about carrying water for downtrodden CEOs and corporations. I'd love to destroy #SocialSecurity :) https://t.co/zueCJnihq5

[Deficit Hacks @DeficitHacks]

That AARP advocates for its constituents is monstrous! The only constituents you should represent are rich people! https://t.co/CCgQFuj7bM

@WaaDooWho I did retire. Unfortunately, I didn't close my big mouth.

[Alan Kooi Simpson @AlanKSimpson]

@anneleaderegval Listen to me? I can barely form any coherent thoughts about anything, and it's not because of my age, it's because I have terrible politics

[Alan Kooi Simpson @AlanKSimpson]

@IrishBnkRbr Don't give me that sass-back. I stand for gutting #medicare, gutting #socialsecurity and shoveling money upwards...what don't you get?

[Alan Kooi Simpson @AlanKSimpson]

@PaulMHigginson1 Don't be tagging me in things you young whippersnapper

[Alan Kooi Simpson @AlanKSimpson]

@perryosmer @kingsthings I do what I can to perpetuate lies and falsehoods, especially about #SocialSecurity. Glad to have you on my side.

[Alan Kooi Simpson @AlanKSimpson]

@cpindell1 If by "working on it," you mean doing everything I can to throw the poor and old under the bus, then yes. I'm a straight-shooter.

[Alan Kooi Simpson @AlanKSimpson]

@perryosmer @kingsthings I'm just an old man trying to tell it like it is and mercilessly cut #SocialSecurity. #greedygeezers

[Alan Kooi Simpson @AlanKSimpson]

@deanatch @ErskineBowles I'll tell it to you straight: The debt doesn't matter at all, and we hacks use it as a cudgel to shovel $$$ upward
