Sure sure. I'm game for moving social security, but now how about you give back all the fucking money I put in it WITH interest since ya know.... Inflation.
Remember, we fucking paid for social security. It’s not government pork. It’s ours.
It's funny, I listened to Steve Bannon's war room the other day and he was demanding that they not touch social security and go after the elites and the NGOs instead. Can't imagine this will play well with the voters that swung towards the republicans
The House R's have a very tiny majority and their constituents will not be happy about this idea and will let them know it. So I feel like they won't be able to get the votes to do it. I also think they're going to prioritze things like more tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations first, as well as the border stuff, before they would get to that. Ya never know, but that's what I'm hoping for.
Eat those faces or at least scare the hell out of those faces, my pretties.
‘Member when Dark Brandon called republicans out on this in his state of the union address, and they all booed and denied it?
Pepperidge Farm ‘members
I know a lot of bitter Boomers with bad health and nothing to lose, this could be an interesting year.
Most of them are too stupid to understand how this affects them.
When it comes to intelligence, standard deviation applies evenly to all age demographic. You ageist asshole.
Don't worry, the cuts will drain social security just in time for when you go to collect. Current recipients will go un affected. I have no insider knowledge, I just understand that corporate America hates my generation.
It's funny at this point. Either the rich pay their share or we Mangione them. Tick tock musky. Tik fuckin tok.
I'm legit surprised some big stock brokerage or finance firm hasn't loaded up to the tits on Tesla short positions and then sent in a couple of Luigi's.
Wouldnt the company be more profitable without his interference and huge salary/bonus?
Yes if you consider tesla a company. No if you consider it as a way to buy influence via President Musk. (am slightly being sarcastic)
Tesla valuation at this point isn't vaguely related to how good or bad their actual business is, at this point it's people buying into "co president Elon".
No there the fuck will not be cuts to either thing.
A huge, mouth watering steak walks up to you and says, "There's no more food."
That’s rich.
^ill^ ^see^ ^myself^ ^out^
Thank you, I couldn't think of a better analogy
Hahahahahahahaahahhaahahaaaaaaaahhahahahaa
Yes, they want to roll back the entire New Deal and have corporate serfdom again. They have been saying it for years and now they have their chance.
More and more I feel we are seeing the pendulum swing. Normally we see 5-10 year cycles of push and pull along the political spectrum, but I'm becoming increasingly convinced we're in a century long cycle too.
We no longer have those with living memory of the gilded age, losing those who remember the saving grace that was the New Deal, and fewer and fewer left who were sent to war to fight fascism. Meanwhile the wealth gap is worsening in developed nations across the world, democratic republics are electing more far right parties and authoritarian leaders with populist messages, and the incoming administration is floating the idea of scrapping the FDIC and deregulating anything else on his favorite billionaire's wishlist.
Seems like we're right on track for a repeat of the 1930s.
Removing the FDIC or when putting money under the mattress is safer than a bank......
Hope everyone remembers to not negotiate with capitalists next time we have a labor movement like we had in the early 20th century.
> some cuts
> the cuts:
Lovely how this incredibly wealthy person is laser focused on making things worse for poor people. I suppose it's the usual ploy of making people as desperate as possible so people like him can prey on us more easily.
