These words are completely meaningless.
Will President Trump veto any bill that would privatize Social Security or Medicare? This is the only pledge that matters.
My guess is that if the GOP is serious, they will simply attach privatization to an appropriations or debt ceiling bill and Trump will sign claiming he had no choice.
Trump, of course, is his own spokesman. He can, and will, take any of this back. If the repeal of Obamacare goes well with red staters ( ie Trump supporters) then Medicare and Social Security will be on the dinner menu.
In the list of U.S. Presidents, one name, Trump’s, will always appear with an asterisk.
The illegitimate President* who destroyed Social Security and medical care for the elderly and infirm.
Also, too, define “privatize.”
Trump did say he supports “modernizing” Medicare. It was on his website after the election. Any bets that “modernizing” means any beneficial improvements in the program to current and future recipients?
“He made a promise in the campaign that that was something that he didn’t want to do.”
Only a pathological idiot would believe anything said by a pathological liar. That explains why Rinse so readily accepts as gospel the crap spewed by Comrade Coir Coif.
“Shoring it up” will mean privatizing. They play with language like no one else.
Preibus’s comments reveal there will be a difference of priorities between Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI)
Or it means that Trump and Preibus are both lying sacks of shit, I know which one I’d bet on.
Which means Comrade Coir Coif will follow the sage advice of son-in-law Jared and funnel all Medicare dollars through the online health-insurance startup Oscar, which, coincidentally, was co-founded by his brother Josh Kushner.
No pledge from someone with Trump’s record for dishonesty matters.
The proposal from the 86 year old ex-POW cuts but does not privitize Social Security. But Trump don’t like him cuz Trump don’t like guys who get captured. Ryan’s proposal privitizes Medicare.
Here in Michigan, I remember Golden Duke runner-up Rick Snyder saying that Right To Work was not on his agenda, and then signing it a week later. Problem was, RTW WAS on DoEd nominee Betsy Prince Devos’s agenda.
Put your congressman’s local office number on your phone and call them every time you have something to say. Be very kind to the phone answerers, but make sure they understand that as a constituent, you are not amused by the machinations in the House. Show up at any town hall type event in the district and get them on record about SS, medicare, medicaid, etc.
It’s going to be a long four years.
No. Credibility. Whatsoever.
And you can believe him because he’s a member of the GOP and he works for Trump. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Ryan; Trump will upgrade Medicare to Premium Care or Trump Care as he likes to call it. All social services will be upgraded with Trump brand.
“Voucherizing” will definitely not be part of the definition.
"I don’t think
The most important ‘quality’ among PsychoPhants.
That’s not what’s in his heart…
Watch for Trump’s head to explode when we his a mid-2017 recession. He’ll blame Hillary, Obama, Democrats in general, NATO allies, China but nor Russia! Look in the mirror Donnie boy as you will be the prime actor in this donnybrooke!
