The second idea is your best, however, both political parties only see immigrants either as a voting block or a wedge issue. Both parties have been giving out amnesty for decades, but the problem continues to come back in a decade or so. Our overall immigration policy needs overhauled. Make it easier to get in if you do it the legal way and make it easier to send them back if they break the law. You're first idea just won't work. You want to tax the rich to pay for it. What then happens is what we are seeing now in our current economy. Prices of good will be jacked up and those same people will be paying for them, thus they will need a bigger cost of living increase. Obama and Desantis are both right, the age needs to be raised. While they both have different ideas on the new age requirement, they know it needs to be done. Then once that happens both political sides need to stop their BS on taxes and spending. Yes we should raise some taxes.......BUT we also need to slash spending. If we continue this long enough maybe the retirement age could be lowered after a decade or two. Let me ask you a couple questions. First off, you realize Obama also had a plan to raise the retirement age as well. Because as it stands social security won't last. People are living much longer and thus keeping their benefits longer. Second question would be, what would be, what are your ideas to save social security. Don't criticize his unless you have plans of your own. And at the end of the day the final solution will see benefits cut somewhere. Anyone who drinks beer should already be doing this. You obviously have to blame the shooter, the gun isn't fired off by itself. You will never be able to stop dangerous people who want to harm either certain people or a group of people, so why try to ban guns? And why restrict law abiding citizens who have done nothing wrong? A major change I'd go after are the parents of these children who steal their parents guns. Investigate if the guns were locked up properly and so on. Then hold them accountable, even if it means by death or life in prison. If your idea would also be applied to the first amendment, then sure, try it, but I doubt you'd be in favor of going that far. Because you didn't. There's many reasons as to why wages haven't grown as much. Capitalist companies like Walmart(which is the biggest private sector employer in the US) came in and crushed their competition decades ago. No competition leads to less wage growth. What should we do about that? While that is an important issue, we still haven't solved why these costs have gone up so much, especially since productivity is much higher now like you mentioned. I don't think you honestly believe Democrats are the savior on this issue. The cost of goods has also increase at staggering levels. The average price for a new car in 1960 for example was only $2,600(or about $26,000 today). In reality the average cost of a new car is closer to 50K. There are so many examples. My father provided for a family of 4 on 30 to 35K in the 90s. There's no way that can be done today. It's more about this or that policy. Sorry, no Democrat could change what I mentioned above. Throughout history Presidents have violated the Constitution. You mentioned Lincoln, then there was FDR, W Bush, Obama, Trump(clearly more, but you get the idea). Notice the trend though? Its much more normal these days. And the comments Trump made are the worst of all because he actually thinks he won the election. However, there is no evidence to prove that. Well, that isn't true. Theres already a couple heavy GOP hitters willing to take him on. Give it time and that list will grow. The GOP must do everything in their power to block this man from getting the nomination in 2024. Even if that means having a convention floor fight to take it away from him. View all replies >
