  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Are Trump and the Republicans going to put an end to Social Security for Americans?

The Juan who went into medicine and became OB Juan.
No, that's Dr. Juan, he's good people. The Juan with the shifty eyes and dirty Sanchez mustache. Juan Collio I think is his street name.

Come on, the Left was saying if Trump was elected that markets would drop, inflation would increase, people would loose their jobs, people would be deported, tariffs would increase, he would threaten our neighbors and allies, cozy up with Putin, abandon Ukraine, follow Project 2025, put unelected foreigners in control and eliminate government departments.

Straight up and unequivocally fear mongering.
This hasn't aged well, now has it?

This is the tactic of this administration, fear! Don't feed the adversary with your fear anymore, please. Go about your day in goodness, righteousness and love. Especially love, as it casts out all fear.
Go in peace, your SSDI is safe.
Be blessed.

Sadly, this is true. But even if Trump is not acting like the devil, Americans have a reason to fear with the trillion dollar national debt and everyone already being a private property and slaves of someone else and no longer handling real money.

But even if Americans have a real reason to fear and no longer in control, a good leader won't make it worse. A good leader won't be acting malevolently with disregard for the well being of everyone else.

As horrific the situation already is. there's always space for negotiation and compromise so that everyone goes home if not happy, less horrified.

I think Americans should have a right to take some of their social security payout and put it into an investment portfolio.
Americans already can invest as much of their SS payouts as they choose. What you want is for them to self-invest their pay in money. What happens when they need that money for emergencies or schooling or housing? We already know what happens.
It could even be capped at a certain risk level, so that they could just toss it into some real risky investments.
Could or couldn't? Qualified retirement accounts already have this stipulation, if I'm not mistaken.

Some people would invest well and wisely; others would not. We already know this as anyone can already invest their loose change. The point of SS is to not end up with a population of impoverished seniors alongside their luckier, more investment savvy brethren.
