To be fair it's not hypocritical to use service you're entitled to and still be against it. After all, you paid for it with your taxes.

But they're only going to repeal Obamacare, not the Affordable Care Act!
"Social Security's great for the old folks, but there's no way it'll be around when we're old"
Votes for the guy trying to destroy social security.
I mean, technically that's correct, if they keep voting for the guy trying to destroy social security lol

What they (Republicans, conservatives, libertarians, centrists) really want is emergency departments over run with patients who can't get care for chronic conditions and then they have an excuse to repeal EMTALA. At that point they'll be able to sink people deep into medical debt and when social security and Medicare/Medicaid fails to cover the costs then we can force medically disabled people into low wage jobs and take their assets to sell at pennies on the dollar to mega corps and further consolidate wealth in this country.
We should instead create a pipeline for that wealth to flow through the lower and middle class on it's way up to the top bringing the floor up and making sure basic infrastructure like medical care has the funding it needs.
If you make the wealthy ultra wealthy then their urine is full of healthy nutrients when they piss on you.
That’s the basis to tinkle down economics.
Sounds like my retiree father-in-law who insists that Social Security isn’t a social service and should be the one exception to absolute abolition of all government services because they’re “communist.”
Ask those same people if they will abolish paying for the military. See what they say.
Back when Obama made it where you couldn't be evicted and bailed out the auto industry, I had a friend that drove a car hauler. He wasn't paying his house payment and lived for free for a year, and only had a job because of the bailout. He talked mad shit about the bailout and about people living and not paying their rent. This is republikkklown logic. I was blown away and said to him, he wouldn't have a job or a place to live if it wasn't for that. He said he'd live somewhere else and get a different job.
Since then, he lives with his wife and child in his mom's house with a shit job and complains about people being on welfare. They don't get it.
Typical. Everyone else is an asshole, but me.
If there’s any way they can punch down instead of address their own issues they’ll take it. It’s why they resort to going after made up nonsense or the most vulnerable.
