Social Security and Medicare are losing money as it is. How in the hell will Democrats pay for Bernie's Medicare For All proposal. Cut welfare? Rent assisted housing? Food stamps? Infrastructure maintenance? Foreign Aid? Fire "non essentials" that dont work during shutdowns? know
How about we confiscate the total wealth of all of the world's billionaires and trillionaires? That would last 4 years, resulting in worldwide unemployment and no tax revenue after that. I know! Defund the military and let China, Russia or Iran vaporize us?
What happens next? A miracle? Democrats don't believe in G0d, so rule that out. Praise Marx Almighty!

Social Security and Medicare are insurance programmes run by the federal government. Both are paid for by contributions/taxes from citizens in active employment.
Both are struggling because like all forms of insurance, its meant to be "insurance" just in case something goes wrong. The more people that have a need for that insurance, the less money there is and the more people not using insurance have to contribute
Medicare is struggling because America has too many obese people and the price and frequency of the medical treatments of those in need of it driving up costs of medicare. Healthy people may need medicare 2 or 3 times in 20 years, obese people will need it 10 or 20 times a year.
Social security is struggling because of the large numbers of people retiring and of course those getting social security for obesity and obesity related aligments.
People have also been eaening less and less since the obama administration. This will continue with ai and more automation. So less money for medicare and social security.
We will either have to allow social security or medicare to make some cuts as to what the money is spent on or the federal government will have to take higher rates of contributions/taxes off of taxpayers. We both know which the federal government will do.
For me i say reduce the rates of obesity in the US by 50% and medicare and social security will be easily become affordable.
The US spends more per person on healthcare than every country in the world including countries that have universal healthcare. To say the US government mismanages money would be an understatement.

Healthcare spending compared to other counties is larger due to larger us obesity rates.
Can't fix your brand of stupid. Only hope you have an epiphany... or another head injury.
Welfare goes to the poor AND rich. The main issue being the rich don't actively need it as much.
It was the Democrats who first established welfare systems like social security, it was the Republicans who corrupted the concept so even corporations could be "people".
The issue is not welfare, it is the upper class taking more than they put in. Also, you are a bigger threat to the world, than the world is to you. You are practically a cancer growth at this point. It's no wonder God forsakes you.
We could start by cutting the bloated defense budget, then repealing the Trump tax cuts, then repealing the Bush tax cuts, then repealing the Reagan tax cuts.
Do something about the obesity problem and both will be easily affordable
@BlackFalcon03 One reason people are obese is that they can't afford fresh food so they have to eat the crap sold by the food industry.
The main reason people are obese is because they eat 3 to 4 times or more what a person should eat.
If you are eating pancakes or waffles drowned in mapable syrup for breakfast, followed by donuts for your coffe break at 10am, a burger and fries for lunch at 1pm and a kfc bucket for dinner and of course a bucket of coca cola and snacks everyday with zero exercise what do you expect will happen.
If you run the math, it's a match trying extinguish a hurricane. The cost is $20 trillion in 5 years.
All democrats will show their leadership by contributing 10% of their wealth, not income, wealth, to a fund which will provide ample $ for everyone to get what they need. problem solved.
**holding my breath**. ***Getting dizzy***
I dont say theory because that always reflect nature
I am just not afraid of it anymore

1. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
2. People respond to incentives.
That's most of economics. Trade-offs and incentives.
When measured by nominal dollar increase over a completed term in office, Barack Obama and Joe Biden added the largest amounts of national debt in U. S. history
How is that in any way useful, even assuming it is true? So you're comparing the Biden presidency with that of Washington in nominal dollar terms?
@MrChinaski Is very easy to Google this to find out it's true.
Let's just end taxes. Then there will be no money to fight over.
And no military to defend the country with.
No military needed cause no free money to be handed out
No one has added more to the debt than Trump, so you know how things get “paid for”
Now, lets see. Obama added 9.5T to it.
Biden added 8.5 T to it... equals 18T
Trump 45 added 7.3T
and 47 added (so far) 5.1T... equals 12T
Was this just aother dumb, unresearched toss-off responses that you hope stick to the wall?
(YES).
When you can print all the fiat currency you want, why worry about costs? We'll just have useless currency.
Why are you asking for a lesson? You already think you know everything.
they are planning on taxing all the billionaires.
No they aren't. They are talking about taxing billionaires while attending billionaire sponsored Galas. One even wore a $20,000 dress with tax the rich written on it.
@BlackFalcon03 California trie to pass a billionaire tax. It failed bu I suspect a billionaire caused it to fail.
And yet california is a democrat state top to bottom.
Champange socialism, let them eat cake. Virtue signal abkut the starving masses and throw them a bone from their feast
Flash in a pan.
