Let us not forget to keep reminding people that trump is planning to gut Social Security & Medicare if he's re-elected - and, that it's a particular goal of #Moscow Mitch.
Getting people to understand this is crucial.
I've posted some articles and informative memes in "replies".
On paper, #SocialSecurity has something like a $3-plus TRILLION surplus. But, every Republican President has raided it's coffers to pay off the national debt & cost of war.
People laughed when Al Gore said he wanted to put SS in a lock box. Look what happened next:
Reagan started using SS to pay for the Republicans excessive borrowing.
It's why SS is now taxed twice - once on the way in, and once on the way out.
The term "entitlement" is completely wrong for SS & Medicare.
We paid into them the same as if we put savings in a bank, & they accumulated interest.
They're 2 of the few things the government makes $ on, but since the government has borrow SS dry, they want to get rid of it now.
If this is true, not only is it possible (probable, if trump gets a 2nd term) that we'll lose our righteously earned SS & Medicare, but we'll also be paying for the tax cuts to the 1% & to Big Business - after many declare bankruptcy, and lose their homes: https://www.thebalance.com/who-owns-the-u-s-national-debt-3306124
So, thank you for perusing this, and -
-Be aware! Be woke!
- And, be afraid, be very afraid.
