I'd have to see a flow chart on that one because the SS funding seemingly has been pilfered to the point that I doubt anyone really knows much about the funding thereof. But if what you say were true, isn't it kind of silly to tax the benefit you are paying in order to fund the very same benefit? No.. isn't it flat out stupid?

The only real downside of eliminating taxes on SS would be a 'run on the bank'. No taxes means an immediate 30+% increase in the value of the payments. I would start SS benefits as soon as I turn 65 rather than wait until I am 72. I am sure that millions of others have done this math as well.

I don't disagree taxing the benefit seems odd but it is tax revenue and we are already woefully short

I just became eligible - if this goes through I am absolutely taking benefits the next day.

We are not short revenue. We are long spending. Don't lose focus on the big picture.

Matt Gaetz Announces Bold Move just hours after Trump made him his shock cabinet pick to be attorney general​


Rep. Matt Gaetz stepped down from his position in the U.S. House of Representatives just hours after Donald Trump picked him as Attorney General.

The dramatic move by Gaetz came as Punchbowl News revealed the impending release of a 'highly damaging' report concerning sex trafficking and drug use allegations against the Florida rep.

Now that Gaetz is no longer a member of Congress, the House Ethics Committee loses its jurisdiction over him, although the report may still be released.


Attorney General Merrick Garland's DOJ also conducted an investigation into the Florida Republican over claims of sex trafficking, but he was never charged.

Now, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will be able to appoint someone else to fill Gaetz's opening House seat in in Florida's 1st congressional district.

SD Gov. Kristi Noem having ‘absurdly blatant and public’ Affair with ‘handsy’ Trump aide Corey Lewandowski, sources say​


Married Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has engaged in a years-long affair with longtime Donald Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski, multiple sources told The Post Friday.

Though no images of the two getting frisky are known to exist, the pair have been less than discreet about their relationship, with one source recalling them making out at a hotel bar during the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Fla.

“I remember it was so absurdly blatant and public,” said the person, who recalled Noem and Lewandowski getting “handsy” at the bar of the Hyatt Regency Orlando with between 100 and 200 others around.

“It wasn’t like 2 a.m.,” the source said. “It isn’t like we caught them at some dive bar miles away. It’s a lobby bar where everyone is staying and so there’s a bajillion political operatives and journalists and electeds around. I remember I saw it with my own eyes and a couple other people saw it and the blatantness was absurd.”


“This has been a known, open thing and we’ve all been waiting for it to blow up at some point,” the person added.

“He’s 100% banging her,” said a second person familiar with the relationship between Noem and Lewandowski, first reported by DailyMail.com.

The source added that they personally witnessed Noem “sitting on his [Lewandowski’s] lap” and “playing grab-ass” during an event at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in December 2020.

“I thought they were a couple. They were all over each other,” added this source, who had met Lewandowski before, but was unacquainted with Noem — whom the witness recalled as otherwise “so beautiful” and “poised.”

A fourth source told The Post the dalliance has been widely known in Republican political circles for “years,” adding that Noem’s husband Bryon is said to have moved out of the governor’s mansion in Pierre roughly two years ago.

Trump's Magnificent Beginning​


As my assiduous readers know, I've been down on Donald Trump for abandoning the central promises of his 2016 campaign -- a campaign so spectacular that I wrote an homage to it, "In Trump We Trust." In gratitude for the "Mexican rapists" line alone, I was speaking at his rallies a few weeks after he came down the escalator -- or about eight months before Fox News abandoned its "Never Trump" campaign and took away Megyn Kelly's parking spot.


I will not rehash the horror of what happened after Trump got elected, ditched his immigration plans, and hired his nimrod son-in-law Jared Kushner.

His defenders, most of whom never cared about immigration in the first place, always told me, He tried! The people around him sabotaged him!

Yes, but he hired the people around him, including the nimrod. Anyone could see Trump was packing his administration with people who openly opposed his agenda, e.g. Nikki Haley, John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, half of Goldman Sachs and every kiss-ass, phony "four-star general" (meaning they promoted enough girls and transgenders to impress Senate Democrats).

I was so sure he'd do it again, I tried to formulate a bet this year. The general idea would have been something like: I bet he'll hire Nikki Haley, but not Kris Kobach.

Luckily, I never made the bet, because boy, was I wrong! Apparently, the left's maniacal pursuit of Trump over the past four years has had an energizing effect on the man. What MSNBC is calling Trump's plan for "revenge," his supporters call "keeping his promises."

[I wrote that before Trump announced his plan to make dog-killer and Afghan refugee-lover Kristi Noem head of the Department of Homeland Security. Please God, don't let him blow this second chance of a lifetime! We're not getting a third.]

SS is supposed to be a self funded thing. There is a separate SS tax that is supposed to pay for all of SS. But because its a Ponzi scheme, it can't. The spending problem with SS is too much benefits going out with SS.

All the money that has allegedly come out of SS to go to other programs just sped up the failure. it didn't create it. it exposed the problem faster. The Titanic has already hit the iceberg and is going down, the only fight now is how many of the younger generation can the older people push into the water to make sure the old get their life boat.
