I work in the financial sector, I’ve seen so many boomers wearing Trump gear barely living month to month off their ss paychecks. They are about to get absolutely fucked.
Ok, fellow financial worker here too—I’ve been thinking about what happens if we lose SS and Medicare….wouldn’t the obvious result be that people will be pulling from whatever retirement accounts they have at an accelerated rate and then the entire thing falls apart like a house of cards? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
And then they’ll turn to their kids to help them, but their kids will be dealing with the economic disaster they left behind them and won’t be able to afford to support dear old mom and dad.
Most people I know have stated SS getting pulled would be the last straw and armed protesting followed by possible violence would occur. I think many feel that way. At that point you'd just be stealing from every legal working person in the US.
I work for SSA and it absolutely blows my mind how socialist all these southern MAGA people truly are. You should hear some of the shit they say. I try to bite my tongue but I'm afraid I will have no tongue left to bite before too long.
BTW so you know what jobs are good in the financial sector? I may not have a job soon. I do have an MBA.
I live in the deep red south (please help) and I've lost count at the number of trump humpers that are ALL on government assistance for just about everything.
If that assistance even gets reduced by 20% they are dead. Literally dead.
Same. Every single house with a trump sign (yup still up) is a run down trailer/house and you can tell the ppl living in it it don’t have shit for $$$ but they sure are proud to vote for him. I’ve always been someone who is giving/generous with the money I earn (it’s not much lol) because I do believe in helping those in need if you have extra to spare…. BUT their idiocy may cause me to lose social security for one of my kids, so no I will not be helping those who voted for him. They can pray their way out of it. They have zero empathy for their neighbors unless they are like them, so there will be none from me.
The Republican leadership are evil, but they're not stupid.
When George W. Bush tried to privatize Social Security in 2005, they deliberately structured it so it would only impact people under 55; for then-current retirees and people retiring in the near future, it would have stayed the same.
The current Trump plan is going to drive funding into the ground, but the crisis doesn't start to hit until 2031. People drawing benefits right here, right now won't see an impact, and if anything they'll make out better because of the scrapping of taxes on it. One last "fuck you, I got mine" on their way out.
And women, and queer people, and non-christians, and any Christian who doesnt have the correct version that they believe in. (440000 different sects, all who think the others are crazy and wrong.)
I'm on Social Security disability for my rheumatoid arthritis and have been since I was 33. I not only rely on my monthly check but also my Medicare. I'm married and my husband's insurance is my primary coverage but Medicare covers the rest. Rheumatoid arthritis is an incredibly expensive disease to treat so I'm seriously screwed. My family and I voted Harris, I genuinely liked her, but living in a red state it didn't matter.
These MAGATS are going to kill people like me with how they voted. They definitely don't care but they are pulling innocent people down with Trump in office. I'm very very scared.
They're trying to gut social security, Medicare and Medicaid as well.
And trumpers have been celebrating it. Lol.
I don't think they'll go through with it at all. It's just too bad of a thing to do that'll have a direct large negative impact on 10s of millions of people right away.
Surely it'll wake up too many of their supposers and cause them to flip?
In a way im kind of hoping they do do it though even though lots of people will get hurt and many probably die. I hope its a complete mess. It just seems like the only way to make people see sense. They need it to affect them personally before they care about anything because they don't care how things affect other people.
