NO cuts or screwing around with SS.
Dems need to "lay down on the track" for this earned income annuity that they paid into for decades & decades.

1/2 It suddenly dawned on me today. When republicans gave the rich tax cuts during T's first term, they made it so us peasants taxes were deferred not cut and we saw a little more in our checks each week but paid dearly the following April.

With SS, are they doing the same thing,

reply

hikercat.bsky.social•9 hours ago

cut just so much that our checks feel a little bigger each week yet will grandma and grandpa suffer now. We experience delayed suffering that will hit us like a ton of bricks when we retire.

Americans deserved a government that held accountable white collar criminals instead of just letting them off easy after they instigated an attempted coup, were convicted on 34 counts, and impeached twice. But here we are because this country refuses to prosecute the wealthy and powerful.

When is Congress going to have trump arrested for treason? He has done nothing FOR the people, and everything he has done/is doing is to hurt the people. PLEASE OUST HIM NOW.

So have you filed a lawsuit? Why isn’t Trump arrested for treason and on his way to jail? The American people have had enough if you jail him and get him out of the White House all of these problems would be in the background nobody’s gonna listen to Vance and be beside he’s created treason as well

reply

During the campaign Trump promised to make social security income tax free. Now it’s only if you’re a senior and working they won’t tap you for FICA taxes! Jeez, talk about another bait and switch!

A friend finally signed up for Social Security after years of paying in—still no money. He tried visiting the office, but walk-ins are gone. You have to call for an appointment—no online option—and wait on hold weekdays, 10 to 4. A billionaire’s idea of efficiency, making life harder.

If you haven't yet, make an account with Social Security dot gov. See how much you've paid into SS over your lifetime. It's YOUR money that you've loaned to the government until your retirement. It's not a fucking "entitlement" beyond the fact that only YOU are entitled to it. Elon Musk is not.

reply

hobopoet.bsky.social•5 hours ago

This is the only back door cut happening. All of the security nets are being pulled before they pull this giant lever. They are going this in Spring because they know that most folks won't react until colder weather when heat costs and food scarcity become problems.

If it’s illegal and Republicans who are in charge refuse to do their jobs and tie Democrats hand why don’t Democrats go outside the box and sue Trump in court like everyone else

Absolutely! We need full transparency and accountability for any actions that threaten vital programs like Social Security. How can we collectively demand that information from our representatives?

It is not illegal, until the court rules on it. We don’t need answers we need effective opposition party.

They keep mistakenly saying it's the biggest deficit problem, when SS is not in the general budget. Solution is raise the FICA limit and have a realistic means testing, do it now.

reply

The point is to destabilize Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Once they no longer work, then the GOP will say, “See how dysfunctional government is?! Let’s turn things over to the private sector. They know how to run things.”

And billionaires become trillionaires.

reply

cartojim.bsky.social•7 hours ago

It is dogma among the rich that if something needs to be done then a rich person should be getting richer doing it.

The goal is to privatize everything

We need transparency. We need to protect Social Security, not let billionaires and former presidents chip away at it behind closed doors. Americans deserve to know the truth, and we should be demanding clear answers and full accountability.

reply

ethan-lockhart.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Idc if they go through privatization schemes, budget manipulations, or executive overreach it’s not just wrong, it’s unacceptable. These kinds of maneuvers bypass public debate and democratic accountability, and they betray the trust of the American people.

Social Security is hard enough to deal with under normal circumstances (wait until your spouse dies - then get back to me). The SSA does not need anymore help in being hell to work with!
