@JonLosAngeles66 Haven't seen any proof that it was debunked little man.

He might end up pushing for scrapping Social Security or more likely, replacing it with some sort of privatized plan to benefit his moneyed supporters, but I've got to think that's at the very end of his list. Other programs are much easier and less politically dangerous to loot first, like the post office and even Medicaid.

If he gets around to Social Security, I really expect it wouldn't be until after the midterms or he's eliminated Congress as an obstacle.

You've obviously never worked at a government agency people don't make those checks keep going out not the employees there social security is still using an archaic system from the 1980s to early 90s
Every agency in the government could run with 10 percent of the staff, They aren't manning typewriter and file cabinets anymore, it's all bloat.
Less employees means money saved for taxpayers.

A growing trend since the 1970's has been to put grandma in a fancy retirement home instead of inviting her into a family member's basement apartment like ethnic people more commonly do in countries like Italy, Poland and Ukraine to name just a few.

The reason for the invention of retirement homes apparently was to allow upwardly mobile young couples with kids, to remain upwardly mobile into their foreseeable future. To remain upwardly mobile means, they can't be held back at home to take care of grandma.

To not put grandma in a retirement home would mean that their only choice would be to take grandma with them wherever they traveled to around the world, which can be a drag since most grandmas that I know don't really like sitting on a beach in a wheelchair while everyone else is out surfing.

But now that America's Social Security is about to get sidelined by Trump, my best investment advice to all us young, upwardly mobile, career oriented business types is to invest heavily into basement renovations and be prepared for one of you career types to retire several early so that somebody is at home 24/7 to take care of grandma who's asleep watching TV in the basement with the volume cranked up high enough for the neighbors to hear.

Make America Great Again! Enjoy the fruits of your vote, kids!
@swirlie that's if they are decluttering. If you do that in your house you start with stuff that makes the most obvious difference. They're starting with things that are minuscule in terms of the budget but affect the most at risk. It seems more likely they are purposely breaking the public safety net, international health and self sabotaging long standing allies and national ideals.

No one who loves Trump will care.

It’s honestly gotten to the point where we can all draw a line and on one side is silence and the other is violence

There’s not discussing anything in the US anymore

All that had to happen for Social Security to fail was to not touch it.. It needed life support and intensive care to survive..I think we all know thats not happening under MAGA, Trump or no Trump Musk or no Musk..A lot of hungry old people are going to be living with family, get sick and die.. Dress it up how you like. Sooner or later its coming to every American..😷

[@Diotrephes Americans understand that they don't have any political left and they even hate the Greens and Socialists. Too bad! They're never going to change even a tiny thing!!! Maybe most people under thirty are socialist. But no parties ever Will be! No candidates ever! No representation. No trying! No voting for the left!
