They clearly don’t know poor old people where #ssa payments keep them hovering around the poverty line. Take that away and they sink right into poverty. 💵 ⚖️ ⬇️👉🏾https://www.kff.org/medicare/issue-brief/how-many-older-adults-live-in-poverty/

What I don't understand, is why aren't grocery stores and retail saying anything about this, you know how many billions they would loose if this happens? Utility companies wont get paid, water utilities wont get paid, rents/mortgages wont get paid. I dont understand any this this.
Truly, they don't care. To the oligarchs running this country now, the poor and middle class are just a collection of worker bees. If you don't work anymore, you're of no use to them, so they'd just as soon see you drop dead. And if you think that's too cruel to be true, you're not paying attention.
Should the #SSA miss a #SocialSecurity payment there WILL be an 🇺🇸 ignition.🔥
This THEFT would affect recipients AND their younger family members as most would be forced to step in to financially care for previously fully or partially independent parents.
Learning about that when I was a census follow-up clerk was what broke me out of my teen Ayn Rand-induced libertarianism. How many old folk had nothing but SS between them and starvation.
Ssi recipients who paid 7000$ a year in taxes as I did as a registered nurse do live in poverty and was denied as disability but couldn’t afford to fight any longer for fear of losing my home I own try going from making $55000 a year in 2008 to $967/ month it’s disgusting to fear losing it
Before I retired I used to talk to the oldest old on only #ssa; they'd finally call the local office for aging when they couldn't afford a medicine or couldn't pay the heat bill or rent. If ssa is withheld, these people will be suicidal.😩 It's their only way to a tiny bit of dignity.

This will be the case for #Medicare also.
They live in a bubble of wealth and greed.
Smh😔
