In my Dad’s defense, #classwar and #wealthtransfer have been nipping at him his whole life. He secured comfort and safety for himself to retire and age in place, mostly due to those factors, because he knew his kids would be too poor and disenfranchised to help him as all this #trumpism progressed. He’s also continually voted for the party dead set on erasing my rights, my indigenous family, and making sure that we never see a dime of #SocialSecurity money that we’ve payed into our whole lives.

Trump is allowing Big Balls to attempt to take away your grandmother’s Social Security benefits, as well as the Social Security benefits of your disabled neighbor who is so kind but requires them due to Down syndrome, or the neighbor who broke their back at work and is now receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). Fraud and waste are always the bullshit argument Republicans use to try and weed out legitimately disabled people from safety net programs. Let’s not bullshit around about what is going on. https://www.wired.com/story/big-balls-social-security-administration/ #uspol #socialsecurity

DOGE was a complete failure that did not save dollars and disrupted Social Security, among others.
Initially, DOGE was supposed to save $2 trillion, then $1 trillion. They now claim $150 billion, which is a lie. DOGE failed.

#uspol I don't think we are capable of cleaning up this mess and I assume the #oligarchy are first at the table and thus steep cuts are incoming. Chances are I personally delay retirement until after there is some kind of clarity. #socialsecurity
