Especially when her spousal social security is $104 per month and her's is $882. (That would be me after being married to an abusive alcoholic and stayed at home to take care of my three children.)
Nice gaslighting angry man. Zero indication or evidence Trump would seek reduction in SS pmts. However, there are huge opportunities to remove wasteful spending inside the program. Honestly, the inability for democrats to understand economics boggles the mind.
Yes this country voted against their own interests, the interests of their parents, grandparents for cheap eggs, which they aren't even going to get because the fat fuck liar, shocker...........lied to them and is now walking it back! It's INFURIATING !
Let's face it ,the Ritchie Rich guys, Bezos & Elmo, both have penis size issues & must master space ships shooting off, and ripping the US citizens for every tax dollar they can get. Mars is a dead planet and Elmo is going to save us by conquering it for our savior? And, Trump has swamp land in FL
Can someone explain to me why Social Security is even up for discussion when we the people fund it, it has nothing to do with the debt or anything so how is it even a topic of discussion??
Please consider adding alt text to images like this in the future. This particular image from an account with this kind of engagement is well-suited for it. Sure, ai for that would potentially be great here, but until that happens, adding it manually is reasonable.
I turn 68 in January. My first job? 15 years old at a carwash. My father died when I was 7, my mother when I was 14. I earned my SS but not according to the douche bags who bought this government. SCOTUS led the cult & what we have here is a fascist oligarchy funded by US. FUCK MAGA.
Rep.K Porter—How Much Does Gov. Contribute Social Security-0! Does Having Social Security Increase National Debt -No! Will Ending Social Security Reduce National Debt-No! There’s 2+Trillion In Social Security Bank Account Today,Funded By American Workers/Migrants -Given To Retired Americans Only!
It’s not enough to be rich; everyone else has to be poor. And the richer you get, the poorer you have to make everyone else. It’s the Bourbon approach (although it predates our humanness, I expect). Daffy Duck in Ali Baba Bunny gets it: “Mine, mine, all mine!”
My feelings 100%. The average SS income is $1700
a month. Muskrat is worth 500 billion, who the hell is he to tell we should do with less.Guys like Muskrat should be made to pay more onto SS. His SS payout is capped @ $160,000 of his total income. A miniscule amount.
Would you check out a guy anti everything we stand for: Soarin Heights @Eaglesman 710.bsk… under Notifications. I think he needs to be turned in to Bluesky and removed from this sight. Scroll down and pick up his earlier today tweets on religion. He’s been at it all day. Few followers.
I am in this group because I love animals and I love to highlight political fibs!I enjoy providing facts, and I do not mind being corrected if my info is dodgy?I am not a member of Truth Social but I am happy to call you out for lying or fibbing!
The only positive I can see out of this is looking at the faces of the dumb fucks that voted for those who will take away everything they need to survive. Week of Jan 20 I'm headed back to Shitter and slam this shit in their face. You thought you wouldn't get deported because you have a job???🤣 😜😆🤪😝
It’s none of his “business”. He’s not even a natural born citizen - he was not elected by the people - he best watch his words and actions cuz if he pisses off enough trumptards they come after him like they did on January 6th !!!
Being one of those Mom’s, I agree completely. I’ve worried about many things in my life, but my social security was not one of them. Because I more than paid my fair share, it isn’t what someone in their retirement years should have to worry about.
Or anybody Social Security for that matter. I’ve been paying into the system for 40 years. I think he should be the first one deported back to South Africa for the illegal immigrant that he was. Along with Melania and Trump‘s other wives. In Germany can have Trump back obviously doesn’t like it here
F... Elmo and his Afrikaner roots, he has no idea how normal folks live..
He has turned into Old Don's BFF, imagine him investigating other agencies for wealth as he gets more Fed contracts??
This is a conflict of interest, but for Old Don and his billionaire buddies ethics are just a suggestion.
That number is so 4 weeks ago. Since the election, the dancing dipshit's wealth has grown to over $400 billion. If I had 1/100th of that, I'd be spending it as fast as I could--on erasing people's medical debt, creating low-income housing, on and on. So many needs and all he knows is greed.
I came to comment that aswell lol. No one can spend 400 billion in their lifetime. It will be generational wealth for centuries to come. Hopefully his children aren’t as deplorable as he is. The one seems to have turned out okay.
I’m thinking Republicans want to kill Social Security, by thousands CUTS, So let’s get on with the Rebellion now and cut out the Middle Billionaires & Robber CEO’s Barrons! As the France Patriots said, Guillotine. Not Joking! Lol
I think he was upgraded wasn't he to four hundred billion. I bet my social security check wouldn't be enough for one of his days out and I have to stretch that out for a month. These people have no idea what their talking about.
This is what happens when billionaires (and a lot of them), will run your country. Basically, they don't give a shit about the rest of us. They only worry about how they can screw the American people, so they can make more money. So happy that 50% of voters have absolutely no idea what's coming.
I get less than 1800 a month on disability. I will have to go on public assistance if they cut it. I haven't been on food assistance since I was a little kid with a single mom raising 3 kids.
Ty BDD and spot correct ! Would someone in our legislature the peoples house, the Senate sergeant @ arms ,Secret Service throw this asshole out on his fat ass! He's a nobody and has no concept of what these social programs are about and that they are paid for by the proletariat!🖕Musk!
This guy knows for every $1,000 that he carves off of people's social security, some of it will float back up to him to grab he do it even if it was only a dime for every thousand
Musk has no political experience and does not belong in the White House anymore than you or I. Musk wants a 'Daddy' and Trump wants his money. They are both toxic narcissists and will not be able to speak civilly to each other in 3 short weeks, as soon as Vivek flees the oval office DoGE cluster
Most are aggressively ignorant. They should know the labor shortage caused by closing our southern border was a major factor in post-pandemic inflation.
Instead they elect someone almost entirely on the promise of recreating the same situation.
Yea, it certainly made matters worse. Instead of the same amount of goods and services being chased by an increased money supply, we had a reduced (because of COVID) amount of goods and services being chased by an increased money supply. A double-whammy.
ELON MUSK HAS VIOLATED THE LOGAN ACT! He needs gto be arrested on charges of conspiring with our enemies and the interest of The United States. He is an Immigrant and needs immediate deportation. Dark Brandon, please use your next 38 days using any and all powers at your desposal. #SaveDemocrasyJoe
Liz,
That's exactly right. History is watching as is the entire world. The court gave him almost unlimited powers with no repercussions. As long as what he himself does is completely within the new laws for Presidents and stays within all existing laws, then it's gotta be Dark Brandon for 38 days.
Sorry for the typos, "Democracy"
Trump has spoken with Vladimir Putin at least 7 times while being out of office! Trump has and is still Violating The Logan Act as well as Musk. Musk actually had his Starlink turned off above the skies of Ukraine to side with Putin and against the United States.
Nope, just the new powers bestowed upon all Presidents by our Far Right Supreme Court. Anything and everything that stops these criminals from taking power needs to be done post haste. This is a time for great courage and fortitude. I am prepared to be of service to our great Country, the USA !!!!
So in theory and those with nothing on the planet If he gave them $1billion each, how much would he have left?
This is action would cure homelessness, unemployment and no doubt a host of other issues.
Ok. I agree 361 billion percent. I fucking can’t stand themmmmmmmm!! Maybe these uap’s flying around New Jersey and other places are waiting until Jan 20. They have lasers right????
Tammy, you’re not paying attention. That’s exactly what they’re looking at cutting so that they can trim $2 trillion from the budget to give billionaires a tax cut.
And a part of the 50% that believe and are helping the billionaires cripple this countries economy for the working class and/or those with limited incomes like SS etc but they shall see however will probably deny what they are seeing, sheesh!!
Listen, if they want to cut unwanted spending then there shouldn’t be any new position like DOGE! That is an unwanted expense and just another way to screw the little guy!
Trump transition plan is receiving broad support so your point is a desired fact not an actual one. Most are NOT trust babies. Regardless, the most Americans are optimistic. Self made successful business builders identify wastes better than politicians with their self interests taking a priority.
If we stop funding foreign wars, we can take that additional funding and add back to Social Security and Medicare Medicaid. Then there will be no reason to extend and/or cut any entitlements.
To say nothing to the fact that he was basically an illegal immigrant when he first came to the country and was working without a permit. Along with Melania Trump.
Agreed, that is the nub of the matter - before Musk sets about destroying lives, he needs to live off social security payments (with no access to his fortune). He might have a very different perspective.
The cowards in the Republican senate and congress will obey. There are no checks and balances with them any more. We could’ve had decency but they chose evil.
These greedy 👹👹👹👹 cares nothing about the poor! They sees more money and their workers as slaves. Either we give it or stand up for our rights. These rich 👹👹👹👹 needs to find somewhere else to go 😡
Make that 400bn now apparently! And apparently the new "Messiah" has "cured" homelessness with the wave of his hand! ...... "He's the Messiah"...."No he's not he's a very naughty boy!" (Ackn. To Monty Python)
Trump's creepy billionaire bastards should keep their filthy and hate-filled fascist hands off of Social Security. I paid into Soc Sec for more than 65 years. Leave it alone. Period!
Used to be the technical term was ‘false class consciousness’ I doubt any of the commentators would dare use this now. It opens up a pathway to a lot of real information & reading.
It is un-fucking-believable. It's hard to fathom that there are people stupid enough to believe that billionaires care about them. This country is so screwed.
Yeah, but he does. It's never enough with guys like that. If I had 360 billion, I would give most of it away to the needy, then take, oh I don't know, 5 billion, buy and Island and never leave it. What is the end goal - wealth and power. Tale as old as time - when it comes to humanity.
Yea...that's why you would never be a billionaire. We forget that to become a billionaire you have to be a bit psychopathic...most of us aren't built that way which is why it's so important to collectively combat this form of wealth hoarding. There are no benevolent Billionaires.
i just heard yesterday on the radio that peon is now worth 440bil how did he make that much when nobody buys teslas now, he had to stop making the rolling dumpsters, and is losing his ass on twitter, somebody should check the money trail that leads to saudi's and putin
i'm sure, now that he's implanted in the government he's probably an arms dealer now too, among other things.
when those subs full of coke get stolen by the cops, those things are paid for in advance, who has that kinda cash on hand on hand? it's big people you'd never expect, and nobody gets busted
there's the bullshit stories of people putting free other drugs w/drugs they are trying to make money with, that's a DEA justifying their existence story, if there is fentanyl in weed? it's not dealers doing, it's somebody who has to justify existing, theres already fbi, atf, state, city, county...
it's only middle men who ever get busted. the money person never does, and who's the biggest drug "warriors"? republicans, it's like they have something to gain by keeping things illegal, huh? why else? they have to keep justifying the existence of the DEA, who steals shit, sells it back out.
Interest on what’s actually liquid and the rest in increased valuation of his myriad holdings. The stock he owns in each of his companies is valued quite high and he still owns a lot of real estate.
A person can live off of dividends alone if they are invested right... and still make $. He could do nothing and lose x, maybe even Tesla and still grow his wealth. He has SpaceX, Starlink and God know what else. He's being paid by our government for those two at minimum. Lobby $ too I'm sure
Just wait until they use Ticket to Work to make Medicaid recipients work the fields. They are already starting to try to destroy the dollar to insert crypto as out main currency-which is just a pyramid scheme in the economic field. https://youtu.be/BKGPFVAHVdo?si=8qZBprg6BBczrgPR
I also don’t think 🤔 that 330 million Americans should forget how many men and women since the war of Independence, traveling thru 249 years (including but not limited to WW1 , WW2, Korean War, Vietnam War, Iraq War, Afghanistan War etc), gave up their lives for us. And we give it to Trump & friends
Correct it’s really sad that billionaires are destroying the world 🌎 with their wealth and very bad decisions. Who cares about these rich arrogant tax welfare billionaires.
But the immigrants and the trans people are the ones you should be mad at, not the oligarchs and corporations! We will see how cult like MAGA really is when it affects them directly. Who do they blame when MAGA holds all the levers? If Democrats, you now they are in a cult and will never give up.

A few rich men, who are making all the laws for everyone in the US, seems "rich" doesn't it?!

Know the difference ‘educated’ people!
There needs to be simple basic memes with quotes about reducing or eliminating social security identifying who is being quoted (date/event helpful)
Memes work because they are quick bites of info
a month. Muskrat is worth 500 billion, who the hell is he to tell we should do with less.Guys like Muskrat should be made to pay more onto SS. His SS payout is capped @ $160,000 of his total income. A miniscule amount.
For most people it would not pay an average car note.
He inherited that wealth from a crooked father who made a fortune selling rocks, so...
I’ll wait.
He has turned into Old Don's BFF, imagine him investigating other agencies for wealth as he gets more Fed contracts??

#TheGreatDictator
There are a lot of very smart Luigi Mangiones who get it done out there.
I'm just saying...
Those corporate tax cuts results in more total $s in the money supply. More money chasing same # of goods/services = price inflation. https://bsky.app/profile/epinnoia.bsky.social/post/3lcogbmcsos2g

Right now I get $981

Lowers Food Prices: he can’t
Pre existing conditions: gone
Social Security Benefits:gone
Federal Retirement: Gone
Medicare Benefits: Gone
10 million Mexicans: Gone
Hurricane warnings: Gone
Polio Vaccine: GONE
#WeToldYouSo
Letting a bunch of trust fund children who've never been poor a day in their lives decide what is wasteful is a hilariously dumb idea.
America is about to f around and find out what a true oligarchy looks like and will be shocked when it doesn't help them
The fact that you are too blind to see that the only thing Elon and Vivek will do is eliminate agencies that regulate them is the sad part.
They are about to rob you blind

Or is he just in this for a tax cut?
They want to expand child labor and raise the age requirement for social security.
Only people who own shit deserve to be paid.
People who do shit are just tools they can discard when they're old and rusty.
