Don't be stupid. SS on the existing track is unsustainable. It has to be cut off for younger workers and replaced with 401k-like plans that cannot be raided by the government or forced by the government to invest in government instruments. People would be much better off under that kind of system than present day SS recipients.

Govt shouldn’t have raided it. That’s what was stupid.

Aren’t most of those people dying ? The younger group won’t keep paying for nothing- unless they are as stu… gullible as the rest of the MAGA nation and will believe whatever they are told.

There are many articles on how the younger generations are pissed at the Baby Boomers already. Cutting Social Security and Medicaid would be the nail in the coffin.

A short recap now that Johnson is getting settled into his new role at the helm of the House of Representatives:

Newsweek:

In his first speech as House Speaker, Johnson said that there are "no coincidences" and he got elected as the Bible teaches God "raises up those in authority." Johnson said that God has "allowed and ordained each and every one of us to be here at this specific moment."

A 2016 campaign speech to a Louisiana Baptist Convention:

"Some people are called to pastoral ministry and others to music ministry, etc. I was called to legal ministry and I've been out on the front lines of the 'culture war' defending religious freedom, the sanctity of human life, and biblical values, including the defense of traditional marriage, and other ideals like these when they've been under assault," Johnson said.

In the same interview, Johnson said: "We don't live in a democracy because democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what's for dinner."

"It's not just majority rule," he said. "It's a constitutional republic. And the founders set that up because they followed the biblical admonition on what a civil society is supposed to look like."

At an American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research event before he was elected speaker, Johnson did not mince his words, saying that entitlements like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security pose an "existential threat" to the American way of life and the "whole form of government."

Newsweek OP Ed – David Faris, Professor

Don't let the facade fool you: Johnson will be the most extreme leader of either chamber of Congress in modern American history. It is not just his voting record, which features the hardest right positions on hot-button issues like abortion (he favors a total national ban from conception onward and once threatened doctors who performed abortions with "hard labor") and Ukraine (he favors letting Russian President Vladimir Putin dismember and gorge himself on what is left of it).

Politico:
A climate-science skeptic, he’s raked in more campaign cash in his congressional career from the oil and gas industry than any other industry, and he’s repeatedly downplayed climate change, according to E&E.

In 2017, Johnson supported Trump’s “Muslim Ban” executive order, which restricted travel to the U.S. from seven predominantly Muslim countries. “This is not an effort to ban any religion, but rather an effort to adequately protect our homeland. We live in a dangerous world, and this important measure will help us balance freedom and security,” Johnson said of the order.

Johnson, who sits on the House Armed Services Committee, supports ending American military aid to Ukraine during its war with Russia.

Johnson was part of Trump’s inner circle and traveled regularly with him on Air Force One while he was president. “It’s surreal,” he once told a Shreveport reporter. “When I call him, he calls back within a couple of hours.”

As a member of the House Judiciary Committee, Johnson was one of Trump’s fiercest defenders in his impeachment hearings, leading Trump to include him in his defense team for the Senate impeachment trial, in which he was acquitted. About this, Johnson said, “His ultimate gesture of trust was asking me to serve on the impeachment defense team. It was an extraordinary experience.”

“If you don’t think that moving from Kevin McCarthy to MAGA Mike Johnson shows the ascendance of this movement and where the power in the Republican Party truly lies,” Gaetz said Wednesday morning on Steve Bannon’s podcast, “then you’re not paying attention.”
 
gop leader closing down the house till Wednesday. i shit you not.
The vacay comes in the midst of two of the biggest world conflicts in seven decades, a government that is set to shut down in three weeks with no deal remotely in place, and following three weeks without a Speaker of the House..

Ironically, the announcement came after new Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced, "Let the enemies of freedom around the world hear us loud and clear, the people's house is back in business."

And the perfect example for the Democrats to hold up to the electorate in the next election. The Republicans have stopped stabbing themselves now,and have moved on to building there coffin.
 
Will they be changing the rule that allows a single person to call for a motion to vacate? Once the important business gets done, there might be a Democrat or two willing to make that call.
 

New House Speaker Thinks Creationist Museum Is 'Pointing People To The Truth'​

In the mere hours since Johnson was elected speaker Wednesday, he hadn’t had to address his views on creationism and evolution. But his close ties to a leader of the creationist movement and his past legal work — on behalf of the Ark Encounter creationist theme park, where children can learn that dinosaurs were passengers on Noah’s Ark — seem to suggest that he’s also personally aligned with these beliefs.

“The Ark Encounter is one way to bring people to this recognition of the truth, that what we read in the Bible are actual historical events,” Johnson said in a 2021 interview with Ark Encounter founder Ken Ham while guest-hosting the radio show of Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, an evangelical activist group.

Are you saying that a science denier telling a block of cheese on a news outlet that admitted to lying to morons *might* be bullshitting?

Deflect deflect deflect. Our party did not cause the issue. Johnson won't make it to New Year's once he crosses Gaetz....and he will.

Everything that's wrong right now was brought to us by Joe Biden and your ignorance.

Swapping these people reminds me of changing out the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when I was in the Army.

It’s a “position of great power” but if the news didn’t tell you, you’d never notice a difference.

Great power… little practical effect.

Accept he controls the agenda in the House. On the other hand, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is not in the military chain of command.
 
https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/28/poli...n-about-house-speaker-mike-johnson/index.html

Yep...Democrats will cave. Just like Biden has done on every environmental bill. Tell me again how this benefits the party? Know why? Because both Manchin and Sienima will go with the Republicans. So all that is stopping Republican agenda is the 60 vote Senate required to move legislation forward. 18 days. It will move forward. Otherwise the Democrats close down the Govt

What people will see is that the Republicans are trying to balance the budget...even though they won't...but by taking the fight public...they will gain support.

My Party deserved this. It is what happens when you do things without a plan. No policy. No legislation goal.
