(7,986 posts)maybe... and then the utility companies really want their money! We own our home, but the Property tax comes due again in May, along with home insurance and not being able to pay all that will ultimately mean losing our home. I'm hanging on by my fingernails. I've started a new med to try to manage the anxiety, but it's rough.
Kill social security and the number of people who died of Covid in the U.S. will pale in contrast to the number of dead due to no SS. My generation grew up with that assurance it would be there. We had ingrained in us since our teenage years, when most of us started paying into SS. Other generations beyond us have grown up with the thought they were just throwing money away because the program would be dead before they could retire. Only my grandmother and my Mom and Dad really got the benefits due them for having worked and paid into the system. I'm so stressed out over this I can't see straight and one of the thoughts that keeps running in the back of my mind is, "How dare they treat us this way at this point in our lives... How dare they think they can get away with this."
But I notice trump still isn't in jail for stealing and selling National Secrets... so like I said elsewhere, Heaven won't have them, and Hell doesn't want them. So they just keep plaguing us.
