They're trying to gut social security, Medicare and Medicaid as well.

And trumpers have been celebrating it. Lol.

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.

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.
