If Elon and Vivek are successful in cutting the Federal government as much as they think they can, does it set up a scenario where the Federal government doesn't require the SSA and Medicare dollars going into the general fund. That means there's the opportunity to carve both programs out and privatize them.
Pick an age for cut off to the new private SSA and give folks in between that age and retirement the option of which program they're in. SSA withholding continues for X number of years to build up and those dollars go into a private fund. The Feds continue supporting current and near term retirees but then is out of the retirement business once those folks are dead.
It could become the Sovereign Wealth fund Trump has talked about.
I was thinking about the impact of this election on the Supreme Court. Alito wants to retire, Clarence Thomas is up there in age and may retire at some point in Trump's term... Any of the three hard core libs leave the court and a "mostly" conservative court could be in place for 20 years. That would give President Trump the most picks in history and a generational Impact.
No sauce, just contemplation on my part but Walz has been to China 30 times. He was also a Master Sergeant in the MN National Guard. Not necessarily high security level stuff but certainly methods and processes could have been exposed or compromised... Just saying...

Biden delegated authority to Sec Def, Treasury,... Others. If he is now incapacitated due to stroke as has been speculated, what incentive do the Secretaries have to invoke the 25th if they lose their extra power back to Kamala if she assumes the presidency? Especially if they find her lacking the dreaded "gravitas"?
Seems like streaming that doesn't stream the debate is down?? Call me paranoid...

There are plenty of examples (35W bridge in MSP, 880 in Oakland) where properly incented contractors can get the job done fast. 24x7 schedules with time sucking regulations waived and early completion incentives... It can be done.

I wouldn't have expected Kevin to but Speaker Johnson should.
no one is talking about impeachment or corruption this weekend...
Had a thought while scrolling the news about Israel and the Palestinians. If we interpret the Q post that they are saving Israel for last... and Iran has been given money by BO and Potatus so they can wage war on Israel... are BO and Potatus white hats? Poof... mind blown... my CG cannot accept that...

He's MAGA... He knows how the swamp works... He has no desire for the office...
