(26,081 posts)Their plan, let's cut the savings mechanism, so there's no really safe place to put your $. They want all our savings to go to Wall St. or banks so those institutions can steal it all back at any time, especially with the new rules Drumpf is implementing letting them lie and cheat their customers with impunity. Of course, this has no effect on rich people because their participation in SS is so small, compared to their net worth, that it's totally insignificant. People keep saying Drumpf is a populist, that's a total lie. He's a rich greedy asshole, so he implements policies that help the other rich and greedy assholes steal all our $$.
Other than the 4 main DINOs who voted for Gorsuch, think no true Dem would vote for this and the filibuster is still on for legislation. At least it's there as of now. If Repugs do this, I really think even the Russians couldn't put them in office next time without a voiding of the constitution. If Drumpf declares martial law, my worst fears will be realized.
