"Now he needs to do something about protecting our future by tightening up our voting."

Since Bill can't ever find actual voter fraud by illegals, he's clearly referring to suppressing LEGAL voters.

"is protect citizens vote"

Oh, gee: look who can't tell the difference between being on a voter roll, versus having actually cast a false vote.

"How do you know? No one knows"

Sure they do. Utah checked, and found ONE illegal registered.,,and he hadn't voted. And idiots keep getting suckered in by human error, while ignoring the near-total lack of criminal intent.

"He's willing to have citizens votes discounted just to maintain his ego."

Wow. You lie very nonchalantly. Rather sick trait.

In truth, I've merely pointed out EVERY SINGLE method suppressionists want to enact, will suppress more LEGAL votes than thwart ILLEGAL ones.

You know...Actual Math.

What kind of Math are YOU using?

"I'm going to have the best health care plan."
~Donald Trump

"Nobody knew that health care could be so complicated."
~Also Donald Trump.

"is it the subsidy? they shouldn't qualify for it but lied about their income or something like that"

I'd be interested to see the breakdown, what is income, and what is ineligibility due to citizenship status.

And whether or not the errors are due to computer and industrial snafus, or wanton criminality.

On another thread, there were THOUSANDS of folks improperly registered...mostly due to programming and data entry errors.

Headline screechers usually bury that last part.

"...because of software glitches and clerical errors made while processing their driver's license and state ID applications"

So...NOT because of some nefarious election-stealing scheme. Got it.

Wanna bet most folks "registered" had no idea???

Whatever the Vegas line is...I'm taking the over.

"Data shows as many as 30,000 non-citizens"

"...as many as..."

And that's possibly REGISTERED, not actually VOTED.

So, based on what the prior claims turned out to be, we're probably taking about a few hundred votes. Out of hundreds of millions of votes cast.

Remember Kansas' Kris Kobach? He claimed he had "over 100 cases" "ready to file" of illegals voting when the KS legislature empowered him. Four years and millions of dollars later, he'd found ONE illegal immigrant vote. And eight others: 3 addled elderly, 3 folks who'd moved and "forgot", and 2 cases of a surviving spouse returning a mail-in ballot after the voter had died.

When Trump enlisted Kobach to find illegal votes, they came up empty-handed.

"Would this be around 4% of the enrollees?"

Yep. 1 of every 25. Staggering, isn't it?

And what do you believe the error rate is on this claim???

"...based in part on "fraud" claims predicted by an AI model..."

GIGO at its worst.

The prompt was probably "find at least 3/4ths of a million".

"That doesn't mean Trump has any firsthand knowledge"

Oh my, you're naive.

" Continuous accrual of liabilities for current and past employees/payees is a feature"

Not in all of them. I was the Trustee for a Union's DB plan. Once someone achieved a pension, that monthly benefit remained the same. Yes, it loses the value of inflation annually, but the equation ultimately worked.

When my time came, the bride and I opted for the second-to-die plan. I get about 80% of my earned DB pension, and my wife gets the same amount for the duration of HER life. The default option was taking 100%, with her getting 50% annually upon my passing.

"Defined-benefit plans are the very definition of pyramid scheme"

Nonsense. Pyramid schemes are always opaque, never transparent; defined benefit plans are transparent. Investments are always secret in pyramid schemes, yet always public in defined benefit plans. And there is never an equilibrium equation with a pyramid scheme, and always one with a DB pension.

The author doesn't understand the basic structure of a pyramid scheme. For example, if DB plans actually were pyramid schemes, there would never have been corporate raiding.

"some going bankrupt from the pyramid scheme of underfunded pensions"

Funding pensions is not a pyramid scheme.

Pretending to fund pensions, while using the money for corporate pay and bonuses, will cause a company to eventually go bankrupt.

It also led to "over"-funded pensions being raided, as soon as courts decided monies put away for the workers didn't belong to the workers.

" but did FDR etal create an unsustainable system? Yes, I think they did."

Nah. When SS began, the average male lived 60 years. The average female lived 64 years. Full benefits began at age 65.

"Why do they need adjustments and increases?"

Three main reasons: Longevity; the acme of the retiree/worker ratio; and the fact the "Trust Fund" was raided over the years by politicians wanting to spend the money.

" Someone thinking one party drove the US off the cliff tells me who is carrying water."

Someone pretending one party didn't unilaterally reset America's fiscal sites tells everybody who is slurping ass.

"Privacy and individualism. Capitalism guards these things"

For the owners. Not for the individuals.

Meanwhile, knowledge of your proclivities are bought and sold.

" ... and they also disclosed their methodology."

Cue the music for Whatever Donnie Wants.

" ... some experts said a Biden-era policy that requires Medicare to negotiate prices for some popular prescription drugs is more likely to be driving down costs."

But Trump will take the credit.

" Prescription drug prices record sharpest drop in more than 60 years"

... because of precipitous drops in the price of GLP-1s.

At least finish the sentence honestly. It's not like prices of every Rx dropped.

"He left me with incredible healthcare costs."

As a former Trustee of a Health Plan, your costs would've been WORSE without the ACA.

I should know: I've been against O'Care since its inception, but admitted I'd have to give it props if it bent the health care inflation trajectory.

It bent the health care inflation trajectory.

Let me guess: you have a pre-existing condition.

" You'd have to be down right stupid to think only Republicans do it."

I've certainly never believed that, and I've been studying the Heritage Foundation's website for decades.

Both sides do it. And the most common reason they give, when they give a reason, is I was convinced the other side was doing it.

The question is ... how much MORE does one side do it, compared to the other?

10% more? 25% more?? 50% more???

Imagine 10,000 instances. Who, and how much more?

"Regardless who was caught, you are saying voter fraud exists."

OF COURSE IT EXISTS.

Virginia averages one fraudulent vote every two years, if you count the 8 felons they've caught in the last 20 years. If not ... it's one fraudulent vote per decade.

OF COURSE IT EXISTS. But one fraudulent vote every two years IS NOT A THREAT to the integrity of the system.

ANY additional barrier to voting will suppress 1000x the illegal votes it'll thwart.

"make a list of his lies, and I'll show you those president's/leaders lies and let's see if Trump distinguishes himself from that field."

"Where does Trump separate himself the most from the others?"

The lack of humanity.

"compared to whom?"

Every human being I've ever met in my life.

You?
