but do you really think that all of the people who DEPEND upon SS and/or Medicare to survive will really allow this to happen? It's only part of my retirement income, but I damn well will be out in the streets if they try to take away the only thing keeping so many Americans alive. Whatever happened to the social contract, you know, taking care of those who are unable to take care of themselves? Rhetorical question, yes, but I have at least 4 relatives who voted for the piece of shit who occupies the white house. You know why? (I asked them.) The primary reason was because "so many people just have their hand out and take all the time - why should I pay for freeloaders". Only one of them is not doing well (on SSI), the others are doing quite well. They bought into Raygun's philosophy, and Faux tells them they are right. Now they don't want to discuss politics and their bad decision.
