Let's all celebrate Alan's long career of trying to make seniors ("greedy geezers") on Medicare and Social Security die faster!

This person has been fearmongering about the debt, deficit, social security and Medicare as long as I’ve been on social media and has never ever ever been right about a single thing yet still gets featured articles in my newspaper’s op-ed page. Where’s @DeficitHacks?!
$34 trillion!!! 😱 Run for the caves! People have been writing versions of this article for the last 75+ years. It’s actually rather embarrassing. nytimes.com/2024/01/02/bri… 1/
Democrat Kristina Marie Gluesenkamp Pérez @RepMGP just voted to overturn student debt cancellation, and add months of interest back onto your student loan She got her PPP loan forgiven by the government 1 out of every 8 people in her district has student loans
The debt ceiling's a fake concern. You know how I know? It's only an issue with there's a Republican House and a Democratic president. No Labels and I cynically use it to push for unnecessary cuts to popular programs, like Social Security and Medicare. That's our real concern!

Student loan payments need to restart, says @BudgetHawks. I agree. ➡️This country has unlimited money for endless wars, tax cuts for the rich, and bailing out banks. ➡️This country DOES NOT have ANY money for greedy college students, greedy seniors, or greedy poor people.

Big numbers scare me*, so no one can have nice things, especially greedy people with student loans! (*For some reason, big numbers don't scare me when they involve wasteful and unnecessary defense spending that happens every year🫡🇺🇸)

The problem here is that Biden didn't tie student debt cancellation to lowering taxes on wealthy people...if he had done that @BudgetHawks would have eaten it up

NEW: Perennial deficit scolds @BudgetHawks and their SVP @MarcGoldwein have lots of reasons for opposing student debt cancellation. But none hold water, and all are ultimately cover for a "crappy moral philosophy," our @MaxMoranHi writes for @TheProspect. prospect.org/economy/marc-g…
Anything that helps a large swath of people I don't like is costly, regressive, and inflationary. In contrast, it is ALWAYS GOOD to cut taxes on millionaires and billionaires and spend trillions on the military. #DeficitHacks #IHaveNoUlteriorMotives #NoOneCanHaveNiceThings

Column: Why is this foul-mouthed enemy of Social Security receiving a presidential honor? latimes.com/business/story…
I'm eternally grateful, @POTUS. Pres. Biden could have honored someone who was trying to make the world better, but instead, he decided to reward my decades-long advocacy against "greedy geezers" on Social Security taking advantage of hard-working American taxpayers. Touched😭

@DeficitHacks Here's me going "Gangnam Style" agitating for austerity. Glad @POTUS is honoring me for spending the bulk of my career trying to impoverish elderly and disabled folks! politico.com/video/2012/12/…
Alan Simpson's career is marked by his deranged and obsessive desire to cut Social Security, which he remarked is "like a milk cow with 310 million tits."

Making parents choose between child care and retirement is the kind of evil I like! "Parents would receive about $5,300 in benefits for each 3 months of parental leave they take—but would then lose about $15,100 in lifetime retirement benefits for those 3 months of leave"
