- If You Really Want To Understand How Much Trouble We’re In, Give Me A Few Minutes Of Your Time.
- Your government is just an insurance company with an army
- In the next 30 years, 100 percent of the deficit is Medicare and Social Security.
- The shortfall in Medicare is about 75% of all of our borrowing.
- In ten years, unless we fix Social Security, you are going to double the poverty of senior citizens.
- These are the things we are here to fix instead of the trite crap we come behind these microphones and talk about.
- Medicare for all is a financing bill. None of those health care bills change what we pay. They just move around who pays.
- Until the conversation changes about “what we pay” you can’t save us.
- Is this body ready to tell the truth about the math? Because the math will always win.
- We’re not telling the truth about the fragility of interest rates. Every dime is covering interest.

Who’s supposed to pay for that? Taxing the wealthy won’t even begin to cover what Democrats have in mind.
