Always a good idea to go after the most successful anti-poverty program ever and say you're going to destroy it. How in the **** do Republicans get elected in this country? How? Anyone with half a brain knows they want to destroy SS, Medicare, and Medicaid.

No, I've watched it happen since 1980. It's why we have the most ****ed up tax policy in the civilized world.

Oh noez, he was taken out of context one time but his actual position on it for the last 40 years is still what Bernie claimed anyhow :rolleyes:

A few years later, at a Brookings Institution event in April 2018, Biden addressed Social Security again. “Paul Ryan was correct when he did the tax code. What’s the first thing he decided we had to go after? Social Security and Medicare. Now, we need to do something about Social Security and Medicare,” Biden said, then added in a whisper: “That’s the only way you can find room to pay for it.”

Last week, the Biden campaign told Politifact that Biden was mocking Ryan and being sarcastic. Immediately after his whisper, he went into the kinds of adjustments to Social Security he thought should be made, the same type that Paul said he told him supported privately.

“Now, I don’t know a whole lot of people in the top one-tenth of 1 percent or the top 1 percent who are relying on Social Security when they retire. I don’t know a lot of them,” Biden said, alluding to the need to means-test Social Security. “So we need a pro-growth, progressive tax code that treats workers as job creators, as well, not just investors; that gets rid of unproductive loopholes like stepped-up basis; and it raises enough revenue to make sure that the Social Security and Medicare can stay, it still needs adjustments, but can stay; and pay for the things we all acknowledge will grow the country.”

When the program is popular, “adjustment” is a Washington euphemism for cuts. But you can count on Trump to use the more common term.

The bolded is the part they're trying to say was taken out of context but he sometimes uses that "sarcastic" tone to say what he actually means and his follow up comments after it reflect that he thought SS needed "adjustments", which, I think we can figure out what that generally entails.

If you guys keep playing Biden, Warren, and Sanders off against each other you deserve what you get.

This is the equivalent of fans of three different pitchers on the same team slagging each other. The D is all that matters. The person holding the torch is fungible.

We have to think about this differently. The old way of doing it is too dangerous. Stop falling for the media feeding frenzy. Start realizing everybody wearing a D is on our side and everybody else -- R, media, voters -- are either obstacles to or means for us to accomplish policy.

We all died of climate change but at least we had unity in the 2020 primary!

WE have nothing to do with that and can doing nothing about it. Tell the candidates, their campaigns, and the media to stop doing it and focus on Dump.

We are each responsible for our own actions. That is our most important job.
 
Re: Democratic Challengers 8: Candidates Can Only Work for A Vegan Farm Market

Setting the record straight on Joe Biden's past re proposed SS/medicare cuts is a perfectly acceptable thing to do during a primary.
