That inebriated Fox "news" flunky posing as a leader of military men and women just asked Congress for $1.5 trillion more of your tax money so that he and DonOld can blow up some more shit in their Middle East sandbox and invade a few more countries they don't like.
And this is how they plan to have you pay for their war excesses:
Link: Your Social Security benefits could be cut by a quarter in 2032. Here's what to know | PBS News
"Americans' Social Security benefits will have to be cut by roughly a quarter in six years due to depleted funds, according to a June 9 report from the Social Security Board of Trustees. That's months sooner than the group had estimated in 2025.
For years, the trustees and experts have been warning about Social Security's unstable financial footing. An aging population, low birth rates and worsening income inequality have driven the program to pay out more in benefits than it takes in from taxes."
The Democratic party has offered up varying sensible solutions to fixing this looming SS fund insolvency crisis. The Republican party has fought all of those good faith efforts, every step of the way and have offered up no solutions of their own. And it is beyond clear at this stage that the reason they have not offered up any solutions of their own is because they want to see the Social Security and Medicare programs wither to dust and everyone gets thrown to the free-market wolves.
Once again people, and it cannot be urged strongly enough - vote accordingly when you walk in that voting booth this November.
