J          “Here is the secret plan.  Trump will eliminate Social Security and then keep his campaign promise and not tax Social Security payments.”

K          “That may happen.  I still say the system will implode two weeks before I file to participate.” 

. . .

K          “We as a country must select either guns or butter.  Those in power will select guns.  We the powerless need to demand butter.  I have said before that the only way to save the American Experiment is to dispense with the American Empire.”

J          “How about a fifty percent reduction in defense spending?”

K          “I am in one hundred percent agreement.”

. . .

J          “There should be a federal law that no one with a net worth of over four million dollars is allowed to opine in any way or vote on Social Security.”

K          “But for the First Amendment concerns and a conviction that we have too many federal laws already, I am in agreement.”

. . .

K          “Someone noted that of the ten states where the citizens rely exclusively or primarily on Social Security for their retirement, eight or nine are Red States.”

J          “The MAGA army is now expendable.  They will be decommissioned and disbanded and discarded.”

. . .      

K          “Trump may be serious about the no tax thing.  If the promised payments continue, I could tolerate continued taxation even though it violates the original intent of the legislation.”

J          “Stay tuned.”
