Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have proposed solutions to the potential shortfall. The Fair Share Act, introduced by Democrats Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and Representative Brendan Boyle of Pennsylvania, would strengthen Social Security and Medicare by requiring people earning over $400,000 to pay payroll taxes on all income above that level. Supporters say it could fund the program for 75 years, though high earners oppose it.

A bipartisan proposal from Republican Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Democratic Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia would create a new investment fund, allowing Social Security to invest in stocks and other assets, starting with a $1.5 trillion Treasury-backed boost.

Don’t worry, he’ll have more time for evil agenda advancement on the DL, now.

Hope he gets charged for CSA eventually.

He’s not a socialist. He doesn’t even appear to be socdem.

Oh. I’ve never seen this before! Surely our completely upstanding and not corrupt government will assess a billion dollar fine and send people to real prisons with poor people, rather than months at Club Fed! 🙄

Listen, the US revolutionary war was fought on lies, the declaration and constitution documents full of lies, pledge to fabric a lie, stated ideals and goals lies, so anyone imagining anything coming from US puppet-government is either extremely naive at best, intellectually disabled, or willfully lying to themselves and others in order to milk whatever slim and slimmer-by-the-moment benefits from the rank corruption they reap or imagine themselves to reap, at worst.

If we want things to get better, we have to make it better.

According to a statement from Southern Command, the three attacks were carried out late Monday against alleged “narco‑terrorists,” in the Trump administration’s words. Two of the strikes took place in the eastern Pacific, each killing four men. In the third attack, in the Caribbean, three people were killed. “No U.S. military forces were harmed,” the military command said. “At the direction of the commander of U.S. Southern Command, Marine Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted three lethal kinetic strikes on three vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations,” Southern Command said in the statement, which — as has become customary — was accompanied by a video showing the boats exploding after being hit by a missile. “Intelligence confirmed the vessels were transiting along known narco-trafficking routes and were engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” it added. The new strikes follow another one last Friday, in which U.S. Armed Forces destroyed a fourth alleged drug‑running boat with a missile, killing its three crew members. Since September 2, when Trump announced the first attack on a vessel allegedly involved in drug trafficking, Washington has acknowledged more than 40 strikes, which have left around 150 people dead.

Exactly what I’m getting.
