"It revolves around making significant changes to entitlement programs"

About a month before he dropped out Christie talked about this at length in a CNBC interview. He said it's an issue everyone likes to pretend doesn't exist and that until it is fixed no serious dent will be made in the debt.

His plan was decent, if I recall it involved more means testing and cutting benefits at the top. Something like that will need to happen, but really all of those proposals are half measures in many ways. They just make the problem less of a problem rather than find a true solution.

They all redistribute in an ineffective way, so why not just fund the programs to a level where people get the benefits that is the minimum benefit and everyone else invests their money.

[h=6]- AUGUST 02, 2016 -[/h][h=1]DONALD J. TRUMP CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL GROWTH WITH $80 MILLION FUNDRAISING HAUL[/h](New York, NY) Aug 3rd, 2016 – Today the Donald J. Trump Campaign for President announced impressive totals from July’s fundraising efforts. The campaign’s digital and direct mail operations (in conjunction with the RNC) resulted in approximately $64 million dollars in donations for July. Last month we continued our $2 million matching program from Mr. Trump bringing his overall contributions to the campaign in excess of $56 million. His contributions for the month far surpass the FEC required reimbursements to his related entities, i.e., airplane, Trump properties and the like. The Campaign and both Joint Fundraising Committees also have very strong cash on hand numbers totaling approximately $74 million ($37 million for DJTFP, $37 million for TMAGA/TV). The results from this month show the enthusiastic movement the campaign has created since we started our online fundraising efforts in June. The campaign very much appreciates the broad based support, and will work hard to achieve victory in November and Make America Great Again.

The campaign, in conjunction with the RNC, also hosted 20 fundraising events throughout the country for Trump Victory raising over $16 million. The Campaign continues to work with the RNC to support its important operations for the Republican Party, and elect Republicans down the ballot this November.

The campaign expects this success to continue throughout the coming months with the support of small dollar contributions from passionate supporters across the country.

“We are extremely proud of our 69% growth in small dollar donations which shows the broad based support of over one million donors across America. Our volunteers and contributors are clearly committed to electing Donald J. Trump as President in November.” said Steven Mnuchin, Donald J. Trump for President Finance Chairman.

THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION’S TERROR MONEY AIRLIFT

Reports Published Today Show The Obama Administration Gave Iran, The World’s Foremost State Sponsor Of Terrorism, $400 Million In Hard Currency – Money That Will Undoubtedly Find Its Way Into The Hands Of Terrorists ​

This Year The Obama Administration “Secretly Organized An Airlift Of $400 Million Worth Of Cash To Iran” Via “Wooden Pallets Stacked With Euros, Swiss Francs And Other Currencies” On “An Unmarked Cargo Plane.”“The Obama administration secretly organized an airlift of $400 million worth of cash to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran, according to U.S. and European officials and congressional staff briefed on the operation afterward. Wooden pallets stacked with Euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were flown into Iran on an unmarked cargo plane, according to these officials.”(Jay Solomon And Carol E. Lee, “U.S. Sent Cash To Iran As Americans Were Freed,”The Wall Street Journal, 8/2/16)

The $400 Million In Hard Currency Was The “First Installment Of A $1.7 Billion Settlement The Obama Administration Reached With Iran.”“The Obama administration secretly organized an airlift of $400 million worth of cash to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran, according to U.S. and European officials and congressional staff briefed on the operation afterward. … The money represented the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement the Obama administration reached with Iran to resolve a decades-old dispute over a failed arms deal signed just before the 1979 fall of Iran’s last monarch, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.”(Jay Solomon And Carol E. Lee, “U.S. Sent Cash To Iran As Americans Were Freed,”The Wall Street Journal, 8/2/16)

“The $400 Million Was Paid In Foreign Currency Because Any Transaction With Iran In U.S. Dollars Is Illegal Under U.S. Law.”(Jay Solomon And Carol E. Lee, “U.S. Sent Cash To Iran As Americans Were Freed,”The Wall Street Journal, 8/2/16)

Iran Is Recognized As “The Foremost State Sponsor Of Terrorism”:

National Director Of Intelligence James Clapper: “Iran—The Foremost State Sponsor Of Terrorism—Continues To Exert Its Influence In Regional Crises In The Middle East.”“Iran—the foremost state sponsor of terrorism—continues to exert its influence in regional crises in the Middle East through the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps—Qods Force (IRGC-QF), its terrorist partner Lebanese Hizballah, and proxy groups. It also provides military and economic aid to its allies in the region. Iran and Hizballah remain a continuing terrorist threat to US interests and partners worldwide. (James R. Clapper, Statement For The Record,U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, PP. 10, 2/9/16)

The State Department’s Annual Country Report On Terrorism Listed Iran As A State Sponsor Of Terrorism And Said That They Had Increased Their Activity In 2015.“Designated as a State Sponsor of Terrorism in 1984, Iran continued its terrorist-related activity in 2015, including support for Hizballah, Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza, and various groups in Iraq and throughout the Middle East. In 2015, Iran increased its assistance to Iraqi Shia terrorist groups, including Kata’ib Hizballah (KH), which is a U.S. designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, as part of an effort to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Iraq and bolster the Asad regime in Syria. Iran used the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF) to implement foreign policy goals, provide cover for intelligence operations, and create instability in the Middle East. The IRGC-QF is Iran’s primary mechanism for cultivating and supporting terrorists abroad.”(State Department’s Annual Country Report On Terrorism, U.S. State Department, Chapter 3-State Sponsored Terrorism, 6/2/16)

Iran Has Been Funding Terrorist Groups Working Against U.S Interests In Their Region:

Iran Has Been Assisting Hizballah Rearm Since 2006 And Has Given Their Organization In Lebanon “Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars.”“Since the end of the 2006 Israeli-Hizballah conflict in 2006, Iran has also assisted in rearming Hizballah, in direct violation of UNSCR 1701. Iran has provided hundreds of millions of dollars in support of Hizballah in Lebanon and has trained thousands of its fighters at camps in Iran. These trained fighters have used these skills in direct support of the Asad regime in Syria and, to a lesser extent, in support of operations against ISIL in Iraq. They have also carried out isolated attacks along the Lebanese border with Israel.”(State Department’s Annual Country Report On Terrorism, U.S. State Department, Chapter 3-State Sponsored Terrorism, 6/2/16)

Iran Has Funded And Armed Shia Terrorist Groups In Iraq That Have “Exacerbated Sectarian Tensions In Iraq And Have Committed Serious Human Rights Abuses Against Primarily Sunni Civilians.”“In Iraq, Iranian combat forces employed rockets, artillery, and drones against ISIL. Iran also increased its arming and funding of Iraqi Shia terrorist groups in an effort to reverse ISIL gains in Iraq. Many of these groups, such as KH, have exacerbated sectarian tensions in Iraq and have committed serious human rights abuses against primarily Sunni civilians. The IRGC-QF, in concert with Hizballah, provided training outside of Iraq, as well as advisors inside Iraq for Shia militants in the construction and use of advanced weaponry. Similar to Hizballah fighters, many of these trained Shia militants have used these skills to fight for the Asad regime in Syria or against ISIL in Iraq.”(State Department’s Annual Country Report On Terrorism, U.S. State Department, Chapter 3-State Sponsored Terrorism, 6/2/16)

Iran Has Been Funding Hamas And Other Terrorist Groups Carrying Out Attacks Against Israel.“Iran has historically provided weapons, training, and funding to Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups, including Palestine Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command. These Palestinian terrorist groups have been behind a number of deaths from attacks originating in Gaza and the West Bank. Although Hamas’s ties to Tehran have been strained due to the Syrian civil war, both sides took steps in 2015 to repair relations. Iran continued to declare its vocal support for Palestinian terrorist groups and its hostility to Israel in 2015. Supreme National Security Council Secretary Admiral Ali Shamkhani sought to frame a series of individual Palestinian attacks on Israeli security forces in the West Bank as a new “Intifada” in a speech on November 25.”(State Department’s Annual Country Report On Terrorism, U.S. State Department, Chapter 3-State Sponsored Terrorism, 6/2/16)

Iran Has Remained Unwilling To Bring Justice To Senior al-Qa’ida (AQ) Members.“Iran remained unwilling to bring to justice senior al-Qa’ida (AQ) members it continued to detain and refused to publicly identify the members in its custody. Iran previously allowed AQ facilitators to operate a core facilitation pipeline through Iran since at least 2009, enabling AQ to move funds and fighters to South Asia and Syria.”(State Department’s Annual Country Report On Terrorism, U.S. State Department, Chapter 3-State Sponsored Terrorism, 6/2/16)

Fox News Poll: Clinton leads Trump by 10 points, both seen as flawed



By Dana Blanton
Published August 03, 2016 FoxNews.com



NOW PLAYINGVeteran who gave Trump his Purple Heart medal speaks out


Never autoplay videos


Sixty-one percent of voters think Hillary Clinton is dishonest, yet she’s opened up a big lead over Donald Trump in the latest Fox News Poll.
Here’s why: majorities think Clinton is nevertheless qualified to be president, and has the temperament and knowledge to serve effectively. It’s the opposite for Trump: over half feel he is not qualified, and lacks the temperament or knowledge to lead the country. And his 62 percent dishonesty rating tops hers.
After the conventions, the Clinton-Kaine ticket leads the Trump-Pence ticket by 10 points (49-39 percent) in the race for the White House. Clinton’s advantage is outside the poll’s margin of error. A month ago, Clinton was up by six points (44-38 percent, June 26-28).

This is the first time the Fox News Poll included running mates. Trump announced his vice presidential pick of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence July 15. Clinton told supporters she’d picked Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine July 22.
Since last month, Clinton’s position is improved with most groups, as she gained ground among men, women, whites, Democrats, young voters, and seniors.
The Democrat is winning among the so-called “Obama coalition,” the key voting blocs that secured his re-election. Clinton is favored among women by 23 points (57-34 percent), blacks by 83 (87-4 percent), Hispanics by 48 (68-20 percent), and voters under 30 by 18 (49-31 percent).

Those numbers rival Barack Obama’s performance among those groups against Mitt Romney in 2012, when he won among women by 11 points (55-44 percent), blacks by 87 (93-6 percent), Hispanics by 44 (71-27 percent), and voters under 30 by 23 (60-37 percent).
Trump is the choice among whites by 10 points (49-39 percent), men by 5 (45-40 percent), white evangelical Christians by 50 (69-19 percent), and whites without a college degree by 16 (52-36 percent).
Right now he’s underperforming his 2012 counterpart. Romney won whites by 20 points (59-39 percent), men by 7 (52-45 percent), white evangelicals by 57 (78-21 percent), and whites without a degree by 26 (62-36 percent).
Trump bests Clinton among veterans by 53-39 percent.
Twelve percent of Republicans back Clinton. That’s more than double the number of Democrats supporting Trump (five percent). And while Clinton garners more support among Democrats (87 percent) than Trump does among Republicans (78 percent), she trails among independents. They go for the Republican by 41-33 percent. In 2012, independents went for Romney by 50-45 percent.

More Clinton supporters say their vote is for her rather than against Trump (49-47 percent). Among Trump supporters, a majority says their vote is better described as being against Clinton (52 percent), while less than half are voting because they like him (44 percent).
When Libertarians Gary Johnson and Bill Weld are included in the hypothetical vote, they receive 12 percent, while Clinton takes 44 percent to Trump’s 35 percent. They siphon off support about equally from both the Democratic and GOP tickets.
Qualified to be president? Sixty-five percent say Clinton is vs. 43 percent Trump. Fifty-eight percent feel he isn’t qualified, including 45 percent who say “not at all.”

On temperament, 64 percent say Clinton has it. Just 37 percent say Trump does. And 72 percent think Clinton has the knowledge to serve effectively, while 40 percent say the same for Trump.
The poll finds a couple things that could bode well for the incumbent party, most notably a positive rating for the president. A 52-percent majority approves of the job Barack Obama’s doing as president. Forty-five percent disapprove. Those are his best marks since May 2011, soon after U.S. forces killed Usama bin Laden, when 55 percent approved and 41 percent disapproved.
In addition, more voters feel they are getting ahead financially (35 percent) than have felt that way in nearly a decade.
There are also findings that could help Trump. Most voters say they are either just able to pay bills (49 percent) or are falling behind (14 percent). In addition, 55 percent remains dissatisfied with the direction of the country. Those unhappy voters prefer Trump by 62-23 percent, which makes sense considering 84 percent of Republicans are dissatisfied with the direction of the country.
Poll-pourri
After emails published online showed the Democratic National Committee favored Clinton over Bernie Sanders during the nomination process, 37 percent of Democrats think their party’s primary process was rigged in favor of Clinton. That jumps to 56 percent among all voters, and 61 percent among those who preferred Sanders over Clinton as the party’s nominee.
Some 37 percent of Sanders supporters think he would have won if the primaries had been fair.
Republicans are still divided over their party’s nominee: 50 percent are happy with Trump, while 49 percent would rather have someone else.
Finally, 77 percent of voters are familiar with the exchange between Trump and the parents of a Muslim-American soldier who died while serving in Iraq. Some 69 percent of them describe Trump’s criticism of the Khan family as “out of bounds.” Among Republicans, 40 percent think his response was “in bounds,” while 41 percent say “out of bounds,” and 19 percent are unsure.
The Fox News poll is based on landline and cellphone interviews with 1,022 randomly chosen registered voters nationwide and was conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R) from July 31-August 2, 2016. The poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points for all registered voters.

Guesser, yesterday you said you didn't really agree with my notion that SS sends false signals to people not to save and I didn't really give too much of a reply, just a quick "Well of course people are saving less if the gov't is giving them benefits" but here is a US and world news piece that claims there have been studies done that people are saving less because of SS. Another thing is when 1/8th of your paycheck gets lit on fire, it tends to make it tougher to save. Then take all the state pensions and public-sector union benefits and think of how much that has an effect on savings.




And second, there is plenty of evidence that middle- and high-earning households treat Social Security and personal saving as substitutes. That is, if you increase Social Security benefits, these households will save less on their own. If Social Security benefits are lower, middle- and high-earning households tend to save more to make up the difference. Research from the U.S., United Kingdom, Canada and Poland finds similar results: If future Social Security benefits are lowered, middle- and upper-income workers save more. But if future benefits are made more generous, working-age households will save less. The result of the Democratic candidates' plans to expand Social Security benefits would very likely be less individual retirement saving by middle- and upper-income Americans.




[READ: The Social Security Facade]


Doubtless a presidential candidate would phrase things more delicately than I, but saving for retirement is something that middle- and high-income Americans can, should and would do on their own if the government scaled back their future benefits. The federal government should work to expand access to retirement saving plans such as 401(k)s and help people sign up. But if ever there were a case for letting households rather than government do a job, this is it.

What I said was the Gov't has done all they can to get people not to depend on SS as their sole Retirement income. Passed laws for IRA's, 401K's, Roth IRA's, now MyIRA, and practically beg people to use them with all kinds of tax benefits. If people are too thick to get the message, that's on them. Personal responsibility and all.
I don't know of a candidate that is/was pushing to expand SS benefits. Most, if not all simply want to save it. Their are various plans to save it, but only Bernie's would actually save it in perpetuity by removing the Wage Cap, and do means testing, neither which would expand SS Benefits, just increase the trust fund and keep it safe for future beneficiaries for forever and a day.
