    The Biden follies, begin.
    An area to discuss Biden's goofs or other surprises.
    Please offer up what you have.

    This example is not about Black people feeling Biden isn't paying his indebtedness to them. Nor about another Yellen economy experience.


    Biden's current surprise

    https://www.yahoo.com/finance/m/e22...d68099d63631/eliminating-social-security.html

    Eliminating Social Security provisions that reduce benefits for some state and local workers is not the way to help retirees

    President-elect Biden proposes to eliminate the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offet (GPO). These provisions reduce Social Security benefits for workers with significant government pensions from jobs not covered by Social Security and for their spouses and survivors.
    <author opinion>​
    Eliminating these provisions would be a mistake. They are well-intentioned attempts to solve an equity issue that arises because about 25% to 30% of state and local workers are not covered by Social Security.


    Seems like Biden is raising a stir although honestly, if someone didn't pay into Social Security and are receiving a government pension
    What is the problem?
    And why didn't Trump do it?

    Type slowly for me, I may be in another dyslexic episode.

    You left out the part about increasing the Social Security Minimum Benefit to 125 % above the single person poverty level.

    Federal State.Military and Local government retirees have Much more liberal beneficial terms in their retirement plans than ANYTHING offered by private companies org corporation. Most of them can reach and take full retirement after only 25 years of service while Social Security recipients cannot collect until age 67 now and their monthly check is based on their 35 best working years.A government employee can retire and start collecting in their 40's,taking a job with Social Security and can work for 25 years accruing a decent S.S. monthly check on top of their government pension check.

    And your conclusion regarding Biden's proposal? Please.



    I guess @Sirius Black makes a point. See #3
    A bone for the progressives buried in it all.

    In the Clinton(s) - Obama manner,
    the benefit @Sirius Black mentions is paid for
    by working people via the Biden Plan.

    eh
    for the :flagcanada: lurking aboot

    Did you know Bill Gates collects Social Security? Biden is only setting things right at last. Billionaires don't need charity.

    Biden has the Senate as well as the House

    Reminds me of Jimmy Carter :rolleyes:


    Stay tuned
    THE CRASH IS COMING!
    Stagflation.
    Unemployment + Inflation
    Increased military deployments.
    Black riots, in part due to feeling Black votes boosted a 3rd tier candidate to the presidency and it didn't pay off. Also suffering most in stagflation

    The not to be forgotten, "etc." .

    The Biden follies has 4 years to make it happen

    The icing on the cake is Winter bringing on more Covid as it does its' cousin - the common cold virus (no vaccine because it mutates so rapidly) as well as the usual influenza. Hey, it'll be on Biden's watch, especially the consequences on the economy.


    THE CRASH IS COMING!

    Are YOU prepared for the Biden follies?
    I'm not buying any new stock market investments

    Any arson or looting or gunfire?
    Where's the riot ?
    Riot involving arson, looting, destruction of private property.
    At least knocking over a public statue ;)

    “ leaving the field of violence to ANTIFA and blacks” ? Seriously?

    Georgia seems to have a very sensible government. Don’t know why you’d think Georgia lost.

    Oh, it all sounds like so much neo-socialistic FUN -- except that we DON'T tax our rich! They use all the loopholes, shelters, exclusions, and deductions in the U. S. Tax Code -- which NO Republican or Democrat big-wig ever changes so that it is finally FAIR for everyone!

    So, who gets taxed...? If you're middle-class and work for a living, GO LOOK IN THE MIRROR! :buggered: "...but, but... I'm NOT rich!"

    Helping those in poverty is not the problem

    The problem is Wall St. Democrats (Clintons - Obama - Probably Biden) placing an unfair cost on working people. Lord forbid "the rich" should pay for it, or even their fair share. Ref.: ObamaCare

    Democrats need 60 votes and want the right things. End of story. The problem is GOP propaganda. Do you think Trump believes he won the election? I think he is such an ignoramus, he does.​

    We expect it of Republicans.
    The Democratic Party has become Republican - lite.

    I would vote Sanders or Gabbard over Trump,
    Not Hillary nor Biden/Harris

    When I drink beer, it is never lite
    Likewise Republican vs Republican - lite.

    I agree, truthfully, that even though there were evidently a number of irregularities, Trump lost the election... period.

    Democrats, as of this evening, once again, have the Presidency, the House of Representatives, and, now, the SENATE, too. Let's see exactly WHAT they do with THIS opportunity to make things 'fair and just' for American TAXPAYERS....

    (Hint: don't hold your breath....)

    They still need 60 votes to tax the rich, as they have for the last 50 years.... I hope they go nuclear myself because the policies they want are very popular. People just don't know about them lol. Not open borders not confiscation not taxing regular people, but a good health care system cheap college and training,Good infrastructure and the living wage and I say an ID card to end the illegal immigration for crying out loud like they have everywhere else it needs it.

    That is what Beijing Biden has promised - the first presidential candidate every to promise to make things much worse and "darker days ahead." He will deliver on that promise.
