James Talarico: Frankly I am tired of the ‘thoughts and prayers’ rhetoric from our leaders.
There is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we're not willing to solve ourselves.

When I was in Congress we were constantly told to not call social security a “Ponzi scheme” unless we want to never win another election.
Elon Musk just called social security a “Ponzi scheme.”
But hasn’t touched his contracts with the govt yet
