Well there goes Social Security

Dipshit is laying off 7000 Social Security and that’s probably just a start.
So when your checks stop coming who are you going to call. Ghostbusters will be all we have left.

it now instead of waiting. Now I wonder if I'll ever be able to get on the rolls. Likely all our application paperwork will just get lost for the next bunch of years.

Somehow I'm not convinced those are long lines of people trying to fill out SS paperwork. They look more like people waiting in line to vote.

Again, I have never seen long lines of people trying to sign up for SS, so these pictures need explaining.

You can be let go from your job because you're "too old" at age 40. You can work until you can't, but the pay won't sustain you. Not to mention Social Security will continue to be deducted from your weekly paycheck, money you'll never see again.
