That has NOTHING to do with SS or Medicare dolt.
You think getting old people health care and keeping them from living in squalor had no impact on life expectancy?
Then what did? Because life expectancy has certainly increased since 1933 and 1964.
That has NOTHING to do with SS or Medicare dolt.
What part did I misread or misinterpret? Is Social Security and Medicare written into the Constitution? Where?
Is the Department of Agriculture, Education, Transportation, HHS written into the Constitution? I think the document is quite clear about the role of the Federal Government. Defend the nation, administer its laws and copyrights and patents.
Incorrect. Completely fucking incorrect. We'll even look at the last one you morons did to prove just how incorrect you are:
+103,834 from 2017, a 3% gain
Inflation from 2017 to 2019 was 4.3%
So the net loss is about -1.3% from two years of tax cuts.
The tax cut didn't increase revenue.
Once again, not a single objective truth that proves that Conservatism has done any objective goods, nor a single objective truth that liberal policies like Medicare aren't successes.
You did exactly what I said you were gonna do: not defend the stupid things you say or believe, but instead try to keep me on my back foot by hilariously arguing that your subjective judgment is the same thing as objective truth.
As it stands, there has not been a single one of your Nazi-loving shitheads that have been able to even come up with one thing Conservatism has done that has made the country an objectively better place.
NOT ONE THING.
Well, since the government can borrow to infinity...what exactly are you afraid of happening, in real terms?
All government debt is is a scorecard of spending...so we've spent X amount of dollars but we have things to show for it...like Medicare, or Social Security, or Interstates, or our military.
Spending gets us actual, tangible things that produce tangible, quantifiable results. Like, for example, getting health insurance to 30M people who didn't previously have it.
Tax cuts, on the other hand...well, we don't have anything to show for them. Not increased revenue. Not more jobs. Not anything.
When someone asks what do we have to show for tax cuts, and your answer is not something tangible, then that means there is nothing there. So then it becomes a question of since there's nothing there, why do them at all?
You haven't proven anything you've said on this thread with objective truths. Just your feelings. Your very emotional feelings.
Taxpayers aren't the ones solely footing the bill...
and the Medicare tax is just 1.45% and for that we get health care for 70,000,000 people.
Objective success.

Okay so you don't care about any arguments to the contrary, you're going to continue to pound your tiny fists into the table and demand Government dependency. That's pathetic and severely stupid.
The government has the power, derived from the Constitution, to pass laws and bills that improve the general welfare and common defense.
This, right here, is the pinnacle of your argument. This is what it's all about. Your subjective view that these programs fail because there is no objective truth
that they do.
That you think your subjective judgment (aka "I think") is the same thing as an objective truth (aka "This is").
What a fucking loser.
What is it about self-sufficiency, liberty and freedom you find so abhorrent? My argument is that our founders had it right. A highly educated public with the liberty to pursue their dream unfettered by Government intrusion with property rights will prosper far better than one that is dependent on Government spending, rules and mandates.
Do you have any examples where Big Government dependency has good outcomes?
The thing is you haven't made an argument using objective truths yet...it's all your subjective judgment and personal feelings about things.
You even betrayed that in your last post when you started it by saying "I think...".
You don't actually think those things, you feel them.
You feel that Medicare is bankrupt.
You feel that Social Security fails.
You feel like they're unconstitutional.
So you have nothing tangible you can point to and say "I did that".
And the couple of things you did mention turned out to be gigantic fails on their own.
So what have you assholes ever done to make the country an objectively better place? And I don't give a shit about your personal feelings on these programs, all I give a shit about are objective truths of which you have none to support anything you say or believe.
Using dated unobjective charts don't make a very good argument. Personal savings spiked to 32% in April 2020.
The same goes for Household debt. It was stable until Biden got into office
You are obviously misguided and not retired yet. If you believe that all the money you paid into the failed system is going to be there when you retire, you're misguided.
That is the typical misguided perception leftist halfwits have, that money can solve mismanagement and poorly thought-out programs. But history shows that that thinking is dumb and uneducated.
