Y'know, if Social Security and Medicare suddenly were hit by deep cuts...

[Girard442]

...My ability to survive goes to zero. There would be many, many others just like me.

Suppose Mump is prepared to deal with an army of pissed off people with nothing to lose?

[Silent Type]

1. There would be tens of millions like you/me, and a whole lot of them voted for trump. That's why it's highly unlikely.

No doubt they'll screw with retirement age, etc., though.

2. May Day riots at The Villages.

[Wicked Blue]

3. Golf cart covoys

[enid602]

7. walkers

Don’t forget the Walker Brigades.

4. Double whammy

Remember, not only would a 20% decrease to your monthly SS check substantially lower your cash flow, but a similar cut to Medicare would also come out of your SS check. A double whammy!

5. If I'm left with nothing to lose

because of these assholes
there is nothing I wouldn't do
to get even. FAFO, indeed.

8. nationalize

That’s why these fucks have stayed up at night trying to nationalize National Guards and municipal police forces. Did you really think this was needed to round up immigrants? It’s for us!

[BBbats]

13. And I've Said This Over & Over.....

We have a Department of Defense head who will not hesitate to turn our Military on the civilian population.

[Gore1FL]

6. The last few weeks have been making a lot of people desperate, angry, and afraid.

They are blocking of peaceful solutions.

Add to this, the facts that they have taken 1/3 of this country, and fed their fears, stoked their anger, encouraged weapon purchases.

I don't see this ending well for anyone.

[XanaDUer2]

9. Id be homeless

And Id kill myself.

[New Breed Leader]

15. Same

[XanaDUer2]

16. I'm not living on the streets

Like an animal.

[New Breed Leader]

21. I know that's right

[Luz]

17. Nope...it'd be off to a federal prison somewhere.

Feed me, shelter and cloth me plus free medical. I'd make them take care of me for as long as I can. I've got nothing to loose, but I'll be damned if I'll roll over.

[Dan]

20. Please don't do that, never say that.

But if you do get so desperate that there’s no answers for you…..

Call someone….

[AnnaLee]

10. Remember the COVID lesson.

He/they don't really care how many retired people they kill. They love the idea that, if they can eliminate more and more recipients of government held revenue, they can only get richer.

These people have been in the business of setting up ways to transfer money from their employees and other working class people to their stash of wealth - without leaving a clear trace of the theft. Reducing working class entitlements reduces the revenue needed today by the governement. They are data mining the Treasury to identify every opportunity to do a wealth transfer from workers to rentiers. (And from other entities owed money (e.g. bonds) by the government.)

There are many ways throughout the economies of the world that such transfers occur, whether it be fees, higher interests rates than justified by the risk or whatever. The US government revenue flow is one of the largest source of skimming opportunity there is.

[Tickle]

11. my check made it this month

no changes. at least not yet

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. To paraphrase Michael Jordan

MAGAS get Social Security and Medicare too. They aren't touching them.

[aocommunalpunch]

14. I see a lot of Luigis out there.

Looking like a bumper crop.

[Ars Longa]

18. What do you think happens to the Economy-Stock Market

without all that $ money going through?

It would be MASSIVE upheaval of society for sure!!!

[0rganism]

19. I suggest when this happens, we spend our last $ on a trip to DC and hang out on the steps of the capitol

That's my plan anyway. I'll just stay there until I pass on, stink to high heaven, heckle the asshole Republicans as they walk in to vote for their constituents' additional massive tax cuts, and what's left of the federal government can spatula my quivering carcass off the ground. It'll be fun for everyone.
