Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic

HERE IT IS… Elon Musk wants to slash “entitlement spending” to cut the budget—which means Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are on the chopping block. He claims the waste is in “entitlement spending,” and lies that undocumented immigrants are collecting benefits.

Republicans have been out to gut Social Security for years because it’s one of the most popular and successful programs ever created. Those who claim to care about the debt while pushing for trillions in tax cuts for the rich and corporations don't really care about the debt.

There's a "house that Jack built" problem to tariffs. Tariff US aluminum, and you raise the price of US aircraft. Tariff US aircraft, and you raise the operating costs of US-based airliners. Tariff US-based airliners, and .... you get the idea. This is why Henry George wrote:

In a deranged post, Trump sent markets into another death spiral after declaring a national emergency over Canada's tariffs on electricity, imposing more tariffs, and calling the U.S.-Canada border an "artificial line" in a push for annexation.

I hope you read, really consider its implications, and share it widely. "It is often said: When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. If that is true, then only weeks into Donald Trump’s four-year term, we are approaching tyranny."

These tariffs are a Trump tax. Instead of putting a stop to them, Congressional Republicans are rolling out the red carpet for more.

It's almost as if a gibbering degenerate President with zero understanding of markets or respect for the rule of law who is engaged in moronic tariff wars and a wholesale betrayal of our alliances is bad for the market. Strange how that happens.

Trump and Musk's SSA cuts will mean longer wait times for beneficiaries, worse customer service, and fewer people receiving their earned benefits. Make no mistake: this is an attack on Social Security itself.
