Thread 513868651

Why is this meme so popular when:

1. 50% of the federal budget is social security (old people) + medicare (old people), add on military + veterans affairs + interest on the debt and it's 75%
2. USAID + SNAP + HUD etc is less than 5% of the budget
But it's treated like a comparable amount of money goes to minorities/foreigners as old people?

Not to mention 30 year olds aren't the US tax base, 30 year olds don't make much money, the US federal tax base leans heavily towards higher income individuals which is pretty overwhelmingly late career and thus older (but not yet retired) people.

Plus the "dream act" is a failed piece of legislation. It's not law.

That's incorrect. Also you're omitting medicaid which we found out is getting showered on illegal aliens.

It's just a powerful meme, doesn't have to be true. I mean you lie all the time, in order to get what you want. Why does truth suddenly concern you? Very strange behavior.

Medicare and social security is like 2/3 of the budget retard

It literally is correct, I checked the numbers

>you're omitting medicaid
I'm not omitting Medicaid, the original image is!

The dogs are becoming self aware.


Damn that's crazy.

You're missing the point. The meme is much more powerful and speaks truth. Your debunking of a meme shows you're on the back foot. It also comes off as whiny,

I don't know, I'm pretty tired of old people escaping the blame too
