[QUOTE="Lotta Booze, post: 573253, member: 4471"] Ok. We'll break it down in bite sized chunks I said, "Trump's tax cut reduced money going into the fund" Citing a report that says: "lower revenue projections from taxation of Social Security benefits (which provided 8 percent of Part A revenues in 2017) as a result of the tax cut legislation enacted in December 2017" And your reply was, "I disputed the fact that you said trumps tax cut lead to lower payroll tax revenues - that is demonstrably false." We're either just talking past each other or you're fighting an argument I'm not making...a strawman. Either way not that important in the grand scheme. And I'm still not clear on what the point of this little mini-thread is. At first the date of insolvency moving up is used as an example of what a disaster Medicare is and now it sounds like you're arguing that they are inaccurately projecting revenues and they should be higher based off of these "4 million more net new jobs and all those taxes". So the insolvency date should move out further based off of that? Is that what you're trying to say? So Medicare isn't as much of a disaster anymore? You'll never hear me argue against managing costs running wild. I'm all for it. Which makes it even odder that they'd repeal the IPAB to manage costs if cost is what they are concerned about. But again, I don't think this administration cares about managing costs at all which is why they've increased the deficit. And as others have stated, they want it to implode on itself. [/QUOTE]
