"Social Security is NOT an entitlement, handout or government gift.

It's an earned benefit that you pay into throughout your working life. Every cent is yours.

So next time a politician says we should 'cut Social Security', remember that they're trying to STEAL from YOUR savings!"

I can't think of anything more stupid than listening to what this dumbshit has to say about . has absolutely no relevant education or experience on the matter of government , or Social Security. He might as well be offering up his opinion on the science of space flight, or brain surgery. Someone needs to return this carpetbagging schmuck to his lane.

If succeeds in slashing that dedicated revenue so that it is no longer sufficient to fully cover the cost, it will result in an automatic . This would happen without any having to vote for the cuts, or Trump having to sign them into law.

This would be utterly devastating to recipients.

These deranged people are the fundamentalist intending to impose rule over the rest of us, to eliminate all like in Afghanistan, to execute folks and like Gaza and Iran, to bring back like in Libya and Qatar, and make America a Saudi style ethno-state in the flavor. They intend to turn all schools into hellholes and your kids if you dare to let them be themselves. They intend to deport and force the poor into servitude with no or at all, including no or since only the rich deserve a decent life - their disgusting god told them so while they were here wallowing on the floor and babbling.

THIS IS OUR FUTURE IF MAGATS ARE NOT VOTED OUT AND KEPT OUT PERMANENTLY: rule by hateful misogynist nutjobs using POLICE STATE VIOLENCE to enforce their whackadoodle beliefs onto us.

Democratic lawmakers have proposed a new law that'd give payments a major upgrade having to do w/how cost of living (COLA) increases are calculated each year. Many seniors could see higher monthly checks as a result.

But good luck with that - it all starts in the -controlled House, and we all know how they feel about Social Security.

And then there's how to pay for it without bankrupting the program.

Put it in the category "Sounds good, but..."

"On Saturday night, Trump convinced 117 extraordinarily wealthy people to give him $50 million at a campaign fundraiser at the Palm Beach home of billionaire investor John Paulson. They believe that if Trump becomes president again, he’ll give them another big tax cut."

Golden Years? 😂 Not if Michigan's GOP US House Reps have their way.
They're on board with gutting and and giving the rich bigger tax cuts.
When you decide how to vote, remember how they'll vote if they win.
