He knows.

He's just doing like Widow used to do. Say something stupid, then justify it to yourself the ego beating by chanting to yourself "they got trolled. they definitely got trolled".

He's just worse at it.

he's just parroting smarter right winged thinkers that can back up the argument with actual math on the waste in each pie piece with examples of cutting down on it. he's just so unsmart all he can do is point to the pie chart.

there's a smart argument to be made for entitlement reform, you just have to be smart enough to make it. when your brain is only capable of "big numba baaaaad, small numba goooood" you're fucked into a corner.

if you're smart enough to make a smart argument but keep predictably going back to the pie chart that's on you. its gotten so obvious u can be inb4'd on just about any topic.

personally i hope you never improve, you're a weaponless target tbh.

you have a bad memory. i've done this dance with you a number of times.

YOU are the idiot who feels the need to just post shit like "welfare/entitlements are responsible for the debt" out of the blue every few days. then someone bites on the shitty bait and you post hte pie chart, and repeat, and repeat.

what it boils down to is i'm ok with reducing the US's military standing in the world in favor of entitlements for US citizens. you're not. and guess what, you're still going to cast that shit bait out again within a week, arent you?

...because 16% is a good portion less than 55%...



What percentage of the 55% is funded by taxpayers who will receive equal or lesser benefits vs their lifetime contributions?

...just because youre okay with something doesnt make it a good idea. Ill be here when you grow up and make a case for your ideas

Almost none of them, which is one of the main problems. The system promises more than is mathematically possible.

The second issue is that the money doesnt help people, it just raises prices. This can be seen by measuring the cost of healthcare within the decade after medicare implementation

again, made the case already. we came to a disagreement about how OUR personal beliefs differed in what should be done but that we agreed on the math.

the fact that your memory is terrible, even when reminded, is noted tho. feel free to post more about how i need to grow up and accept math/facts the we both accept because you have a shit memory. or better yet make a softball joke about how its only because im not worth remembering. make my day champ.
