was a bit confusing on whether it was just for this year, or permanent.

Is this a path towards elimination of Social Security, or just his lack of understanding tax types?

He doesn't understand the tax(nm) - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 15:06:32

He's desperate for any stimulus to geta 2nd term - tigerdb MU - 3/10 15:09:13

Hmm... so Social Security doesn't actually provide social - ummmm MU - 3/10 14:50:48

Not what I said - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 14:51:26

Do you think Social Security provides social security - ummmm MU - 3/10 14:53:39

As it is currently constructed for all time? No - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 14:54:35

So, another misnomer by govt. - ummmm MU - 3/10 15:00:57

Reform is long past due. As it was originally developed - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 15:03:45

And then it got confused - meatiger MU - 3/10 15:09:43

That is flatly untrue. The tax and cap has gone up and up - ummmm MU - 3/10 15:08:46

They should add the employer paid taxes - meatiger MU - 3/10 15:11:26

He's not starting a path toward elimination of SS, so he - ummmm MU - 3/10 14:36:44

That is sort of what I thought - meatiger MU - 3/10 14:48:34

Yes and yes - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 14:35:29

He's not eliminating or even flirting with the elimination - ummmm MU - 3/10 14:37:18

He's said multiple times recently there will be cuts - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 14:38:17

Yet in his SOTU speech - meatiger MU - 3/10 14:49:45

He'll be walking back his recent "entitlements" comment - ummmm MU - 3/10 14:51:47

He will say it in small bites - meatiger MU - 3/10 14:55:08

4tigs is far from a small gov't voter - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 14:56:37

In "claims" only - meatiger MU - 3/10 14:58:19

Or he will resort back to the - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 14:59:11

If there's one thing Trump has proven in his adult life - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 14:52:48

there should be reform,call it cuts - Ferg STL - 3/10 14:40:08

Agreed (nm) - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 14:40:51

And they should all come on the "benefits" side. (nm) - ummmm MU - 3/10 14:40:48

Awesome, hopefully the other taxes go to zero as well(nm) - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/10 14:35:08

that's great and hopefully it's permanent (nm) - Sal MU
