Something that is breaking through: my mother-in-law lives off social security and she is actively worrying about how to pay her bills if the government stops paying her back the money she paid in.

Maybe you and family members pool resources, help those who need help until this is corrected. Still have faith in the courts and attorneys who are not going to lose their licenses lying to judges or peddling nonsense to them
I know this one. They think people should have kids to care for them in their old age. Note that the saying is honor THY mother and father. Not everyones mother and father.
Trust me, i'm very well aware. Medicaid is the reason my dad was able to be in a nursing home without total catastrophe striking us in his wake while he was at the nursing home or after he passed. And likewise for my mom who has her own various health ailments, though she's still home.
Yeah, she is one of millions sadly. Hopefully the people can apply enough pressure to deter them from doing the unthinkable. If not...those same people are going to be incredibly pissed off. That will be the final domino to fall before a reckoning.
I too am concerned. If they do this how many people will be homeless. I can hear JD saying, "your family will have to step up and let you move in which also solves your daycare problem".
I'm not saying this about your mother, but in general, let's hope that this threatened loss of income makes some people think about their recent choices, and whether in hindsight those choices could have been better. I hope for your mother's sake, and everyone's sake, that this doesn't come to pass.
I get what you’re saying, but I think a better political and moral message than “you get what you deserve” is “they lied to you and are making your life worse, join us and let’s build something better”.
Join us, absolutely. But they never lied to anyone. They told people plainly what their plans were. They wrote it down for all to read. People just didn’t pay attention, or didn’t care until it affected them personally. No one deserves it, but we’ll all pay for it royally, together.
Yeah, this is the attitude that got us here. Tolerating hate, arrogance, religious nutjobbery, and idiocy of Republicans voters who kept voting against their interest because no one told them what happens when they get what they voted for. They've been voting for gutting ss for decades, fuck them.
One in 6 people receive Social Security checks. The majority of them voted for the convicted felon.
Every single one of them can kiss that money goodbye. The elderly population can say "hello" to homelessness, abject poverty, no healthcare, and little chance of finding a job.
I'm 72, been living on SS for about a decade now. In all that time I would check my bank account balance monthly. Now I check at least once a week, more than a little concerned it might vanish or be chipped away at by ketamine-fueled DOGEstapo. Folks in the U.S. should not have to live this way.
Two mentally ill losers
Stripping seniors of money earned from years of working through rain, sleet, snow, illness, discrimination, deadlines, overtime, child birth, undeserved low wages
Two who did not have to work
& don’t depend on SS to live
They want to control US
We have to Stand and Say
NO!

are worried.
¿Es que acaso hace Musk cosas buenas? Despedir injustamente miles de personas sin compasión, fulminar el sistema sanitario público y el Departamento de Educación?Es un ser terrible.

I ask these “Christians”: What happened to “Honor thy mother and father”? Did you miss that day in Sunday School?
Maybe she can pool money together with her neighbors.
The average senior has paid around $200k into the SS program.
The average cost of living in America, per year, is $77k today.
Because of inflation and time, the average senior spent all their SS ten years ago, and are spending their kids money now.

these people voted to harm others and are only upset that it’s harming them
