In reply to the discussion: Musk wants access to ss medicare payment system!!! [View all]notinkansas
(1,322 posts)41. I would say it will take the collective 'we' to stop them.
Representatives (probably even some Republicans), lawyers, judges, the media and the rest of us mercilessly hounding all of the above. Nonstop!
From Snopes: President Dwight Eisenhower, Republican, uttered these words on November 8, 1954:
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."

He's the (unelected) president and it cost him a mere $250 million -- 0.06% of his wealth.

No amount of public or private security will save his ass if he fucks with it.

I'll keep saying it: the politicians can't save us. It is on us to save our freedoms.
