JEBESUS. READ about the bill, find out for yourself what is being cut and how much. I am not making ANYTHING up. They ARE planning to cut Medicaid by 880 BILLION and SNAP cut by another THREE HUNDRE BILLION, that makes cuts to just those two well over ONE TRILLION dollars and the sinister zombies writing that truly ugly bill don't give a rats ass WHO gets hurt, how many people will die from lack of medical care when they are kicked off Medicaid.
They would go 'tell it to someone who gives a crap'.

I guess there is something.....that you can read all day...as to their reasoning? If you find it, could you concise the contents to one paragraph.....the small size paragraphs, not your size!!

??????????????????????? DOGE never did that? Is that you, Sonhouse?
The amount of fraud and waste is miniscule compared to the TENS of thousands whose lives are upended, federal workers who are expert at their jobs now looking for work beneath their abilities but do you care, does Musk care? Does Trump care. OF COURSE not. Let them eat CORK.
Like SS phone lines so screwed up you can't even get through to make some case or other and the reduction of employees now means HUGE lines where you HAVE to go to some SS office where a bunch of them have been closed down,
Yep, really saving money there.
Who cares these agencies have half the employees to do the job that now means huge backlog in dealing with clients, SS clients, VA clients, Medicaid clients and such. And BTW HOSPITALS will close when Medicaid is cut both because they get a major portion of the operating expenses DIRECTLY from Medicaid which will ENSURE the closing of many hospitals around the country.
GREAT work, mr sinister ZOMBIE.

You keep repeating yourself.

Does there exist any site that explains the reasoning behind the SS being treated 'as you say' they are? You are aware that we can only rely on your plethora of opinion. Opinion.

It is NOT illogic you FLIPPING IDIOT. IT IS IN THE LAW that huge deficit spending WILL trigger cuts in EVERYTHING including a half TRILLION dollar cut to SS.
But THAT also is WAY above your ability to comprehend.


@sh76 said
You started a thread to complain about something that has never even been threatened?

IF (and it's a big IF), social security is ever reformed, it will be phased in over decades. People already on SS won't be affected.

Unfortunately, it seems that nobody has the guts to reform SS anyway...
It is already law that the resulting deficit spending brought on by the ugly sinister zombie bill will TRIGGER BY LAW in reductions of government agencies and among them already waiting is a half TRILLION reduction in SS.
That is already law in the books.

Could it be that you yourself do not comprehend. These people work 24/7, through the weekend, but with respect, you seem to also be on it 24/7


You are aware that the 'cuts' you speak of are to change a 48 year old system, etc etc, waste city. Many of the contracts in place are crap, so they will clean that all up. The landlords in NYC earned 59M for hotel for legals!
101M for DEI crap. Dept of Education, more wsted millions.
45M for diversity ed in Burma.
40M for social change in Uganda
40M to improve migrants
2B to stacy abrams for environmental movement
20B for sesame street in middle east

Stopping waste, man. Give Trump more hell, it just makes him stronger.

Send us a link of what you mean by SS being cut. And can I hand Sobnhoouse koff to you for a while? Hell, I cant even type his name

You don't analyze very well. First, 880 BILLION off Medicaid, then another THREE hundred billion off Snap, food stamps, child care, and FOUR TRILLION added to the national debt UP front for no other reason than they KNOW they need to replace the money the tax bribe will lose so what else, BORROW it, make the national debt FORTY TRILLION. No big deal, right? Interest alone at ...[text shortened]... ALONE will have a forced cut of a HALF TRILLION DOLLARS.
So tell me again how SS won't be effected.
You believe every silly claim the Dems make.

The rest of your chicken little the sky is falling stuff is just as false.

Yeah, WASTE, saving lives by the millions. What a waste of money. Especially when that money can be better spent on WHITE folks right here in the US.......

I've been on SS for 12 years. I don't even recall applying in the office because it was so quick and easy.
I recently took an 80 year old that just relocated back to the US after living in Canada for the last decade and they had to verify her ID, mew address, etc. . My wife and I took her to the office, she was in and out in under 20 minutes.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yes, you can. So we first did that. 😆

When that application went belly up, I took my guy into the office where we sat for hours. Finally got to a person and they said, "First off, never apply online. Always come physically into the office." Lesson learned.

Online access to SS is possible - barely. But one cannot even make a change to direct deposit online. Again: "You must come into a SS office to make this change." Etc. 😆
