UPS management lost their health care benefits. The non-union side of things. Teamsters health care is still top notch, that won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
This is why he is the quintessential administrator that reacts before he thinks researches and plans. I saw that as soon as he opened his mouth on stage. Is a "Wiretap" the same as a "wiretap"?
The State Department is being cut by 1/3 and the puppet Secretary of State is fine with that. Real men don't use diplomacy. Real men like Trump and Putin demand, and send armed forces, to get what they want. Remember Ebola? Pretty scary but in the end it was regional, not global. One of the reasons was a State Department program that works with foreign countries to keep outbreaks of disease from becoming global pandemics. This program is being eliminated. So no way to keep disease from our shores, the National Institute of Health won't have resources to seek a cure, the Center for Disease Control won't have means to institute public health programs, and sick people won't have health care. Because sick people are losers. Not like Trump, the healthiest person to ever be President. Remember ISIS? Also being eliminated is the global coordination for the fight against ISIS. Obviously it is unnecessary since Trump has a plan to defeat ISIS in two weeks. True, we have not heard i yet, just as we have not yet heart the "amazing" things his investigators found about President Obama's birth certificate, nor have we yet heard the proof that the Obama Administration wiretapped him. With Passover coming up, observant Jews say that Moshaic (Messiah) will come in his good time. I guess we will hear Trump's plan to defeat ISIS in two weeks in his good time. If you bought an appliance any time recently you saw an Energy Star sticker that helped you decide which brands/models were most energy efficient. The Energy Star program is being eliminated. Conservation is bad. After all, global warming is a hoax and using more electricity will make the energy industry richer.
If Melania stayed in DC for 6 days we'd save enough money for Meals on Wheels. Shame on those elitist pieces of shit...
If Trump would meet officials in the White House instead of flying to Florida every other day it'd save a ton of money too....ridiculous to govern from his private resort and golf club. We pay for the White house security and staff whether he's there or not.
Shocking that balancing the budget means cutting spending. He's not touching medicare and social security, by far the two most massive government spending programs (a campaign promise). Some of you act like we should continue racking up massive debts. If we do, the interest on the debt will be bigger than medicare and social security and military spending. Every one of your pet programs is in jeopardy when the government ultimately has to choose between paying the interest and paying out benefits. There will be only so much money to go around.
Prove it. You can't, because we have to see the budget enacted to see it work. Here's an actual bullshit claim. We know it is because the law was enacted.
Holy shit, CNN not spinning this. http://money.cnn.com/2017/05/22/news/economy/trump-budget/ The budget doesn't propose cutting funding for Medicare or "core" Social Security benefits.
Trump is using his negotiating tactics to set the table for the Dems to win a few, so he gets what he wants. Below is a note from my Congressman Dem Peter DeFossio and what he wants. I have introduced legislation with Senator Bernie Sandersto protect this vital program from future attempts to dismantle it while expanding benefits to better meet the needs of our nation’s seniors. My legislation, the Social Security Expansion Act, would: Modify how the Social Security Administration calculates cost-of-living-adjustments for seniors by replacing the current COLA formula with a new Consumer Price Index for the Elderly (CPI-E) to factor in costs seniors traditionally face such as prescription drugs, utility bills and property taxes. If we had used CPI-E in 2017, seniors would have received a cost of living adjustment that was five times higher. Close a tax loophole so that earned income over $250,000 is subject to the Social Security payroll tax. Social Security could pay its full promised benefits for the next sixty years if we asked all Americans to pay their fair share of FICA taxes. Millionaires should pay the same percentage of their salaries as average American workers. Increase benefits for Social Security recipients by an estimated $65 a month according to the Social Security Administration. Update the Special Minimum Benefit so more low income people qualify. Apply a Social Security tax on investment income for high-income households. Additionally, I reintroduced my legislation to protect the Social Security Trust Fund from attempts to artificially lower the massive federal deficit by preventing the federal government from raiding the Trust Fund. The bill returns the Trust Fund to its original purpose - delivering benefits to the American seniors who paid into it their entire lives.
