I work with two people that are within a year of retiring and they are absolutely ecstatic that Trump was doing this to Social Security, as well I work with people that are in their early 20s that are exactly the same happy that this is happening and thinking that they will all become super wealthy.
Employer and employee both have to pay 6.2%, wanna bet they eliminate the employers portion?
The American Prospect, which first reported earlier this week that Acting SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek was weighing staff cuts of up to 50%
Congratulations protest non voters, this is what you voted for.
And blaming the voters still isn’t the energy you want.
It is a pretty amusing overlap in the people that will screech about victim blaming but can’t seem to wrap their head around the concept that the people ultimately responsible for a crime are only the people doing it.
The Peter Parker principle.
How is this blame? This is what the voters wanted. This is what they are getting.
He’s blaming the people who didn’t vote. Which is a bullshit theory the conservative Democrats have been pushing to keep from dealing with why they lost.
FAFO
Tell that to the DNC
I’ll point you back to the article. And to my comment: Congratulations protest non voters, this is what you voted for.
Literally what protest non voters voted for.
So, when Social Security gets gutted, we’re all getting the money we put in back, right? …right?!
I want it back + interest.
I wanna pony
You need money first
Oh, you’re gonna need to have a lot of money to get any of the social security money when they gut it
I’m all set, but I do want what’s fair for everyone.
Yes, of course! As long as you make at least $100M a year, all investments will be returned as tax breaks.
Every American should file for a refund of all the SS taxes they paid when they do their income taxes next year. With the gutting of the IRS on top of SS, they’ll probably accept those claims without question and accept those refunds.
Musk has been spouting how Social Security is a scam and how tariffs will make up for it. Basically, kiss your social security pension away and just hope a substitute pops up - although it will likely be in the form of “get a check if you don’t criticize us” now. DOGE is an excuse to Big Data everything from every department and process it through AI, including knowing your political association.
and just hope a substitute pops up
I have equal confidence in a trump designed Social Security replacement as the healthcare replacement trump came up with to replace Obamacare (ACA).
Hilarious.
“Social security is a scam” = “I’m taking your retirement money for myself”
“Tariffs will make up for it” = “As a bonus fuck you, 20% tax on everything you need to survive”
Buy the ticket, take the ride
