It is running a $85 billion dollar deficit and no plan to fix it,. How
is that not an immediate problem?


$85B? Why does that number sound familiar? I know, I know. It's the
big oil subsidy. Eliminate that, and we're good to go. What's more
important, big oil getting money it doesn't need or people getting
their Social Security? Hmmmm....

Cite that.


I lied. $52B in direct subsidized costs, plus $1.6T in related costs
of the fossil fuel industry.

... or $10B

"In the United States, credible estimates of annual fossil fuel
subsidies range from $10 billion to $52 billion annually,"

Nice cherry picking tho.



So the range, without underlying infrastructre and related cost, per
year is, let's say in the middle... $32B. That of course, won't help
the Social Security situation if it were funneled to it. Is that what
you're claiming? Nice try.
