When he took office the U.S. was energy independent and we did not need to rely on any other country for our energy needs. But because of Biden's policies we are no longer energy independent and must now depend on oil purchased from Russia and Saudi Arabia. I'm sorry that you are too stupid to understand that, little mentally limited snowflake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgerunner Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 10 hours ago, O_U812 said: The “Rs” will do whatever it takes to protect their wealthy and corporate donor base, but when it comes to serving the best interests of the nations citizens, they turn their backs again and again. This is easily illustrated by the “Rs” recent responses to funding the Infrastructure measure. Originally it called for a rollback of the 2017 tax breaks that primarily benefited the wealthy and corporate sector which they rejected. Next there was a proposal to increase funding for the IRS to specifically go after wealthy and corporate tax cheats who have short changed this nation by trillions over the years. That too was rejected. Finally they “agreed” (by process of elimination, they dictated) using unspent pandemic emergency funds while we are seeing new surges with the Delta Strain and a new strain just discovered in Florida, one of the states with a low vaccination rate, that are forcing a return to restrictions, along with a program to go after “fraud” in Unemployment. Again spare those at the top and themselves by sacrificing the average citizen. That’s been the “R” way for a while now. Some Dems, like Sen . Manchin who claimed that S.1 (The For The People Act) was too “partisan”, but then doesn’t bat an eyelash at the “Rs” decidedly “partisan” agenda and activities, are also at fault. Instead he and other Dem holdouts should be pushing to raise or better yet, abolish the earnings cap. If that happened the trust would be self sustaining for decades - even centuries - and benefits could be increased to get seniors, the disabled, and survivors out of poverty. It is getting wearisome that that these two extremely popular programs are always trotted out like “sacrificial lambs” whenever an issue with the budget comes up. Social Security is a sustaining trust where benefits are paid for by both employee and employer contributions throughout an individual’s working life, not from the general fund. Same for Medicare. Therefore that part is, or is supposed to be, immune to deficit and debt caps. The funding part that does come out of the general budget is for administrative operations, which is tiny in comparison to the what the MICC, fossil fuel industry, Pharma, and other special interests receive, and has been already cut to the bone. The only other time the general fund comes into play is if there is a surplus in funds collected which is converted to treasury bonds that other programs and expenditures borrow against, and must repay. That has nothing to do with inflation or debt ceilings, though it is using our hard earned contributions as temporary form “collateral”. From their viewpoint, it does make sense to gut benefits because that makes for a larger treasury “piggy bank” other spending measures can use instead to avoid debt or deficit ceilings. So not only will workers pay income tax all their working lives to support the nation’s budget, but now more of their SS and Medicare contributions as well, which will never benefit them as they should. It is becoming increasingly infuriating that our elected representatives on “Capital Hill” (not a typo, I call it that because it’s pretty much bought and paid for by special interest PACs and lobbies, in major part thanks to the “Wealth United” ruling that gives corporations person-hood and opened up the floodgates for PACs to dump hundreds of millions into election campaigns, who put the interests of the privileged and corporate sector and their own selfish interests above their job of representing the citizens and nation whom they swore and oath to serve When you quote someone you are suppose to cite who you are quoting otherwise you are guilty of committing plagiarism just like your hero "Sleepy Joe" Biden has done numerous times. Everyone on this thread knows that you did not write the above comment, little boy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo was put with the story to make people believe that Trump was at the Dallas rally. Another example of slimy journalism from the left wing media.
