It’s a return on investment!!!

daveyguitr3.bsky.social•78 days ago

It's sickening. The only redeeming part of it, small victory, is all the MAGATS that voted for a criminal/traitor will lose many of the programs keeping them alive. Medicaid-food stamps. Seniors that just ruined their senior years? Tough luck, good luck finding a home. Medicare? Musk says just die.

Exactly,the people have no morals

Billionaires suck, and they need to go.

jamiboaz.bsky.social•78 days ago

Don't have to imagine. I am living it. Just had my last appt for disability! Expect to lose it as soon as I get it.

mariablack.bsky.social•78 days ago

Look what they did to women in the UK 🤬 it's unconscionable.

Meanwhile these billionaires have been sucking up federal dollars…to become billionaires.

triplozero.bsky.social•78 days ago

This Christmas it’s my job to shake loose some knuckle heads I know personally, who voted for Trump, and shame them into helping save Social Security, at the very least.

🤯

hegelian1.bsky.social•79 days ago

Especially by a nasty Fuck like Leon who probably never paid into it.

juadog.bsky.social•78 days ago

Especially by a billionaire who has taken many millions of dollars in government handouts. Hypocrisy reigns supreme.

skywalkerbeth.bsky.social•78 days ago

And which your employer paid into it as a company match. That company match could've gone into your pocket the entire time.

coffeemagic24.bsky.social•79 days ago

So disheartening

doggiemama.bsky.social•79 days ago

It will cause an uprising! Bring it on’

richardlordtoad.bsky.social•78 days ago

It would be much easier to eliminate the ones saying it.

tessrsq.bsky.social•78 days ago

You inspired a meme. ❤️

quichemcqueen.bsky.social•78 days ago

Actually I don’t have to imagine anything because it’s happening right now

presto123.bsky.social•78 days ago

It's beyond me how Americans are not living in the streets in protest. How bad does it have to get?

melindamosheim.bsky.social•78 days ago

exactly...this is a huge part of the problem. We did it in the 60s & 70s getting civil rights bill, medicare and ended the Viet Nam war. People worked then too. But every weekend there were huge marches & moratoriums. And the March on Washington was huge, only took one day! & it got results!

brookshoffos.me•79 days ago

Paying into Social Security your whole life isn’t dependency, it’s a contract. Billionaires calling it otherwise is just another way to justify cutting what they’ll never need.

mattflammable.bsky.social•79 days ago

💯

bluerockresistor.bsky.social•79 days ago

They are trying to Steal it.

Good bye yellow brick road.🙏

mrs-msr.bsky.social•78 days ago

I've been at a high school basketball game and otherwise out of pocket all afternoon. Who called it "government dependency?"

mattflammable.bsky.social•78 days ago

Mike Lee.

schmoozy.bsky.social•78 days ago

That money was sucked out of my paycheck with a promise I would get it back when I retired.

hidinginplainssite.bsky.social•78 days ago

Yup.

mrsgarrigue.bsky.social•78 days ago

What about the fact that he campaigned on “no tax on SSI earnings?” Can’t wait to see how this turns out.

ducklady.bsky.social•78 days ago

No tax because there won't be any earnings after they take it.

mrsgarrigue.bsky.social•78 days ago

Um, that’s not what they believed. But, hey, let’s see how it plays out.

southpawjc.bsky.social•79 days ago

And not having a choice to pay into it, it’s required…then they say this to you. Smdh

cwmay.bsky.social•78 days ago

It’s a kick in the guts

jennybing53.bsky.social•78 days ago

I don’t have to imagine it seems.

mizati.bsky.social•79 days ago

Melon is extremely sickening. He fails at being human on every level.

rockerchickphilly.bsky.social•78 days ago

They are a band of fucking thieves and liars (the sayers not those who paid in)

wolfli.bsky.social•78 days ago

I'm 64 years old and was hoping to retire at 70. Looks like they'll have to drag my moldering corpse out of that office chair instead.

mar-flo-ele.bsky.social•79 days ago

Disgusting and Despicable 😡

thefuckissilent.bsky.social•79 days ago

Not a lawyer but guessing there are strong legal obstacles for just canceling existing commitments.

If they do I'll be starting a new movement called Steal the Food

itspbtwo.bsky.social•78 days ago

Been 1099 for the last 13 years Paying my share, as well as my "employers" contributions, and now they want to take it away as it's an "entitlement"? I hope we will stop taking it and do something about it if that happens...just like other countries did. It's really time we grow some pelotas!

jillpaints.bsky.social•78 days ago

By people who have no understanding let alone empathy what this program means to all us regular people.

bluerockresistor.bsky.social•79 days ago

the slaves they think They bought are ready for delivery...here's one now.🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

rwilliams48239.bsky.social•78 days ago

I’ve been paying into Social Security & Medicare since I was 14 years old, I am 58

Apparently, ElonAHole, RamaSwampy & the GOP feel SS & Medicare is an “entitlement”

They now propose my retirement age should be 69. I probably won’t live long enough to collect a dime

They can go fuck themselves

ahunaj.bsky.social•78 days ago

And yet they have stolen trillions of dollars from Social Security and never repaid what they “borrowed.” Social Security isn’t the problem thieving politicians and their donors are the problem.

digitalmb.bsky.social•78 days ago

IT'S YOUR MONEY

IT'S OUR MONEY

everythingisgrate.bsky.social•78 days ago

That’s what they’re saying, but it’s bullshit. They literally want that money put into their bank accounts. It’s not even subtle anymore.
