The moral corruption of Biden and Trump on senior entitlements is not requiring future beneficiaries pay their fair share towards future benefits. The fact that current pay-go is having to cash in reserves during an economic expansion to make up the gap means it's unsustainable.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) March 8, 2023
The real risk to current beneficiaries is if reforms fail to be enacted before reserves are exhausted; distributions and/or other benefits could get a 20%+ haircut. I suspect that Congress would infuse funds from general revenues in the short run because of political backlash.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) March 8, 2023
Trump is just as disingenuous, morally corrupt, and economically illiterate as Biden when it comes to senior entitlement reform. The reason that the pay-go schemes need to be reformed is because the programs are dipping into reserves to meet obligations to current beneficiaries.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) March 8, 2023
It's economically counterproductive. This includes Bastiat's notion of things seen and unseen. Much of wealth is invested in the private economy, enabling job creation and a higher standard of living. Higher business taxes are globally less competitive.
