@AdamParkhomenko Well you’ve identified $640 billion a year you say we could save. Just need to find another $3 trillion a year and universal healthcare is paid for 🤷🏻♂️🙄
@GNSNick@EileenMarieSar1@SenSchumer@hakeemjeffries They aren’t saying anything because they don’t want to be reminded how they had Feinstein, virtually incoherent, kept in office and let her staffers tell her how to vote when they needed the votes.
@dandinohill Option 2 isn’t a fix either. Only extends it out another 25 years so it’s not the current politicians problem. The entire system needs to be revamped. Take care of those close or somewhat close to retirement and start young adults on a new program.
@freakoutsideofx And all federal spending bills initiate in the house. GOP controlled both chambers from 1995 through 2001. Clinton chose to negotiate to get these things done instead of today’s politics where they will just throw a tantrum and not agree to anything.
@RepJasmine All spending starts in the House and for the most part every presidents 1st year spending was passed under the prior administration. While the buck ultimately stops at the White House a majority of deficit spending was initiated in a Democrat controlled house.
@SenRandPaul You mean spending less than what was previously projected isn’t really a “cut” ? All we hear is how we cut this and cut that yet the actual $ amount never goes down.
@SSWorks@RonWyden That just simply not true. The only “plan” floated out there is to remove the income cap on taxable income. Doing so will only add 21 years of solvency to the program not “indefinitely” 🙄
@NYCMayor You mean you’re paying for childcare with other citizens tax dollars right ? It’s not “free”. And while you’re on this spending spree have you given any thought to the $14.6 billion in upcoming budget shortfalls for FY2028 and FY2029 ? Or is the state going to bail you out again?
@SenSanders Because you never tell them what it will do to their taxes. All you say is free healthcare. Total heathcare spending may gone down some but on an individual basis tha wont be true for everyone. Alot of people will see their taxes go up more than their healtcare saving.
@SenRickScott Well you and your party wrote and passed the last reconciliation bill that determined current spending and still going to hit the $2 trillion mark this year. Spending has gone up 68% while you’ve been in the senate.
@BernieSanders Your billionaire tax is projected to raise $350 to $400 billion a year. If we’re really only $400 billion a year away from making sure “ALL Americans have a decent standard of living” surely you all could find that in the current budget right ?
@lukepbeasley The cost is the same he’s just paying some of that cost with someone else’s $ 🙄. I’m still trying to figure out how it costs $10 million + to put a 9,000 sq ft store in an existing building. When locally they can build a new state of the art 30,000 sq ft store for the same cost
@GunnelsWarren We DONT have a revenue problem. Year after year we continue to collect more taxes than ever before. Yet continue to outspend that by trillions. Even Bernie’s tax the rich plan only gains $450 billion more revenue and he already has a plan to spend it. Get real about spending !!
