but quite honest. After all, the best way to support Medicare/SS etc is to get people back to work and raise their wages. That would go a long way toward boosting revenue and strengthening those programs. I expect neither of those things to happen under Trump and the Repubs. There is obviously no support coming from them.

Yes, although I don't necessarily use the word fear, I do say we need to fight Trump and the Repubs.
