One can’t help but wonder if these easily avoidable public gaffs are purposeful to avoid being tapped to be trump VPs. They would likely be compelled to not say no, else he couple mobilize the MAGAts against you politically. At best it’s probably a dead end political position that could consume the remainder of your political career, at worst he may entice a mob to try to kill you.
Exactly. SS is too popular. There will be some sort of reform/funding, but congress will wait to the least minute to fix a problem. See any sort of continuing resolution government funding bill or the last time SS had problems back in the 80s. The '83 reform only occurred a mere months prior to insolvency. The fact that SS is still years/decades from major problems means it’s someone else’s problem to our elected representatives.
