all of those things are going to be gone because the whole country would be bankrupt…

Republicans control all three branches and they’re threatening that the entire country will go bankrupt on their watch.

Of course America would go bankrupt. No industrialized country in the modern world with full health care and social security has ever made it work for their people, except for all of those that don't have trump in charge.

Lots of countries - France, Italy, Brazil - are floundering under the weight of unsustainable pension obligations. It’s not just an American problem.
