The thing is, Social Security isn’t part of the general budget and will save nothing.

They should be lifting the rich guy cap on SS payroll taxes. Then it would be solvent forever.

libraryanna.bsky.social•27 days ago

With dictraitor don messing with the market, we won’t be able to fall back on retirement accounts.

Here is a reply to this I got from a trump supporter on Facebook they won’t care.

rastafreedom.bsky.social•27 days ago

I'm really curious how Social Security beneficiaries will react when their checks don't arrive or are short.

womblingeast.bsky.social•27 days ago

And militarized police forces don’t come cheap. And the American war machine doesn’t come cheap. And someone has to keep those poor arms dealers rolling in it.

ingemarknows.bsky.social•27 days ago

Yes, for sure. And they seem to be itching to use that on the American people. This is insane.

womblingeast.bsky.social•27 days ago

I know. I’m terrified for the Americans who didn’t vote for this shit. Do not comply.

I wonder if they will take a page out of the former Australian conservative government and employ contractors to fill the void
All supplied by cronies, and cost way more

decker2000.bsky.social•27 days ago

I'm guessing if there is a problem there it might wake up some people. Unfortunately for the rest of us it will be devastating

albert71292.bsky.social•27 days ago

Exactly. I'm 59 and since I can't work, I rely on monthly SSI disability payments. If they are late or delayed, my bills won't get paid. I voted for Harris/Walz.

😢 Death by a thousand cuts. Make no mistake. Then for sale and our $$ used to gamble in the stock market. If Bush had succeeded in privatizing during his term, Social Security’s money would have evaporated in the crash. Does anyone remember the crash in 2008?

daaw.bsky.social•27 days ago

I’m very scared. I’m disabled and retired. I don’t know what I’m going to do. How cruel these monsters are is a subject of nightmares. Now reality.

marbleball.bsky.social•27 days ago

That’s going to be painful and in some cases deadly.

jonathanscherch.bsky.social•27 days ago

What we seem to need is an organizing plan along with daily press releases from Dem leadership to counter P25.

We / they are watching our agencies implode, services whither, international relations & markets tumble and harmful privatization forecasted.

Where are our Dem leaders? Former Prez’s?

Every State of the Union should hold back their federal tax dollars and keep in a trust so DOGE can't grab it... and until this administration gets their shit together and stops breaking stuff. "Impeach Trump and J.D."

bethciesla.bsky.social•27 days ago

They are messing with so many lives, homes, healthcare, and they don’t care! 🥲

boscobuddy.bsky.social•27 days ago

These evil bastards need to be stopped by any means necessary. Many of us are still ambulatory enough to be effectively mobile. Those of us who make it the protests need to go and let the orangutan know that he fucked with the wrong folks. Bullhorns are not that expensive. I bought a Ukrainian flag.

zivadoodle.bsky.social•27 days ago

Scared to death. I’m disabled. My credit will be ruined by late fees. If they mess with Medicare there goes my breast cancer treatment and I will die.

marilyn-smolen.bsky.social•27 days ago

😪 I'm so sorry. Those late fees will now be compounded without the CFPB. I too am terrified and PISSED OFF!

kallenemvalts.bsky.social•27 days ago

Step 1: Break SSA

Step 2: “Reform” Social Security

Don’t allow this to happen. If there are problems with payments or sign-ups, the Musk-Trump administration is entirely to blame.

rockney.bsky.social•27 days ago

Anything the Nazi bastards can do to fuck-over Americans. Face it, both Trump and Musk are not real Americans and hate the government. Much of what Musk has destroyed was involved in investigating his violations and crimes. They think they're above the law.

patti54.bsky.social•27 days ago

Absolutely!!!!!

2moonfarms.bsky.social•27 days ago

Trump’s plan all along has been to tear it down just enough to collapse the system, blame it on fraud and inefficiency, then stuff his own pockets. Evil at its core.

jrbjr.bsky.social•26 days ago

They will create chaos within the system, and people won’t be able to communicate to an agent, because all the offices will be short on staff. It’s all part of the plan they have forced upon us

crisd67.bsky.social•27 days ago

As a person who doesn't come from America I don't understand how Trump has all the power.
Surely there are processes in place to stop this.
Or does your president have all the power

adria88.bsky.social•27 days ago

He doesn't.
Congress is failing the American people.

crisd67.bsky.social•27 days ago

That is sad on so many levels

waiting2befree.bsky.social•27 days ago

The courts are our last defense - but while all this is being dragged out in court the corruption continues because the Republican party in Congress refuse to stop him.
Cowards...

corwincannuck.bsky.social•27 days ago

lolalolajoaquin.bsky.social•27 days ago

And now DOGE (Vought at OMB) has reinstated the 100% clawback policy of "overpaid Social Security benefits".
So if your benefit is even one penny over the correct amount, 100% of your benefit will must be returned. This happened Friday, at 5pm.

green4nature.bsky.social•27 days ago

The whole point is to have congress shut down and declare emergency declaration so it won’t matter his orders will be followed and there won’t be anyone to stop him hence the king which will cause unrest in the American people. Social security will be small at that point. His maga will run ramped

THIS IS NOT what people voted for. Cruelty, harm, pain, suffering. There are no MAGAs on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, who work at VA, & other places unconstitutional DOGE/Musk/Trump are decimating? How does all of this lower cost of living? Help the 96%?SURPRISE, Trump LIED

annietomlin.bsky.social•27 days ago

I wouldn't want to be Elon, a GOP congressman or senator, or Trump or a member of his cabinet if that happens. Vets and elders depend on SS and with have nothing left to lose, there's likely to be shootings. Their children and grandchildren are going to be furious, too. Just sayin'.
