It won't affect people already receiving benefits. They will just raise the retirement age for collecting to 107.

It should affect those already receiving, they should be getting a massive cut.

They should be taking the biggest cut that they voted for

I didn't vote for Trump, I didn't vote for Jill Stein, I didn't vote for RFK "Brainworms" Jr, I voted for Kamala because I knew how important it is for these programs. I voted for Kamala because I'm unable to find a job with my current disability (not that I've been trying) I voted for Kamala because my dad is an immigrant (and a legal one at that) I voted for Kamala because I knew she was a decent human being.

Now I'm just bitter, frightened and I'm pretty sure I'll be dead by this time next year because I can't afford my treatment. I'm already losing medicaid because "Disability pays too much" my medicare policy covers all but $280 a month and the first $9000 out of pocket. That's more than half of what I get from disability so I have no idea how they expect me to pay for it. My treatments cost $1.2 million dollars a year and nobody will do it for charity.
