Too bad Trump can’t fire Mark, the feckless clown.
Agree on the subject matter – but what the heck can he do? … guess he’s trying to build some credibility for the next election … if he’s gets smart – he’ll have a SSA rep with him to answer questions – few would trust his answers
domo,

I’ve heard Congressman Mark DeSaulnier speak on this subject before, his solution is to increase immigration rates so that more people will pay into the system, which isn’t fixing the problem, it’s just pushing the problem further down the road that will always require higher immigration rates. His solution is much like a pyramid scheme, always needing more people to keep it going. His other talking point is to “tax the wealthy,” which he never really defines.
stupid is as stupid does and this guy is sure stupid. must suck living with all that anger that he feels he needs to share with others.
Time to scare the old folks!
The Republicans are going to stop your Social Security checks to buy Trump a fleet of solid gold golf carts!
Scaring old folks is just plain wrong.
They are already stressed out enough watching California turn to ****.
Spare the seniors your fear mongering and head up to the cemetery to harvest ballots.
desaulnier on how to maintain socialism, the stepping stone to marxism.
I doubt any one living in Rossmoor are illegally collecting Social Security or fraudgently using Medicare Mark. You really need to spread your outright lies and radical leftist propaganda elsewhere, instead preying on the elderly with your unnecessary scare tactics and B.S.
Americans with hhiger incomes pay significant taxes on their Social Security Income. If these taxes on Social Security were added to he Social Security Fund Balance and left there, rather than put into the General Fund for politicians to waste, Social Security Fund Assets would last much longer.
It it is similar for Medicare, higher income citizens pay much higher premiums for Medicare Supplemental Insurance premiums and if those were added to the Medicare Fund Assets, Medicare would be solvent for a mugh longer period of time. Keeping Socual Security and Medicare Funds out of reach of the politicians is the answer.

Federal law requires that surplus social security funds be used to buy U.S. Treasury securities in the form of short-term certificates and long-term bonds. I’ve heard Congressman Mark DeSaulnier and many other Democrat and Republican members of Congress say that if it wasn’t for excess social security funds being used to buy these government securities and paid back to social security with interest, that social security would have become insolvent much sooner than the future projected insolvency date.
Generally bonds will not outpace taxes and inflation. Therefore the SS bucket still has a hole in it.

I don’t disagree with you, that’s why Social Security is still facing projected insolvency. Social Security would’ve already become insolvent had the 1983 “fixes” to collecting full Social Security benefits not happened, raising the age for those born between 1943 and 1959 from age 66 to age 66 and 10 months and to age 67 for those born in 1960 and later, and the 1983 taxation on Social Security benefits not been implemented, in addition to several increases in the original combined 2% employee/employer Social Security tax in 1937, with increases taking place in 1950, 1960, 1977, 1983, and 1990 to the combined 12.4% employee/employer tax today. It’s easy enough to fix the problems with Social Security, but Congress doesn’t have the courage to do so because they fear being voted out of office for voting for the unpopular fixes needed to fix Social Security.
Wait, I thought Trump cut Social Security and Medicare! Mark should first ask the attendees if they still get social security checks. So much garbage talk by idiots.
