(6,002 posts)weapon of choice is our gov't, our elected politicos, you know...the ones who "represent" us? Oh, that's right, none of that breed is left, what we have is a rogue gov't....hmmm....isn't there a procedure to establish emergency gov't in a situation where the one you thought you had is completely hijacked & broken? (Food for thought, cuz it will probably get to that.) We are being "entertained" by theatrics that produce NOTHING but more gutting of our collective rights & protections & our taxpaying wallet. They have no right to cut SS, why would we agree to something as evil as that, let's vote in a SS increase...like those pay raises they give themselves.
I think a new day is dawning in America, SS is one huge-ass red flag. It's time to wake up & understand our gov't is screwing all of us over, the 99% that is. Believing it still works is like believing in the tooth fairy.
