Are Republicans Trying To Sabotage Social Security Programs?

[Dante]

Dante suggest that Republicans Are Once Again Trying To Sabotage Social Security Programs. This is a refutation of a false narrative of: Democrats Are Once Again Sabotaging Desperately Needed Social Security Reform. Some people try and claim attacks on a program as reform. We've all see that movie before.

Democrats have been on board with almost every non partisan, initiative to reform the government and the programs under it. This fact. One only has to do an internet search engine "thingie" to pull up the truth.

The facts on Democrats and Social Security reform? You want them? Here they are:

I see the usual troll like...


...jumping right in with neg reps (as if the stalking would go unnoticed).
It's just how some House Trolls roll.

go figure

But Dante posits that we have MAGA inspired "reforms, masked as if it is all about cutting "waste and fraud." We suggest that one of their first orders of business is to marginalize voices of the people, and any and all opposition to making government smaller. This will be, and is being done on the backs of the average, normal, regular, common folk of these united states, that form the USA.

Any and all opposition to slashing and burning, and running wild like a Bull in a China Shop are pushed aside with attacks of "Why do you support waste and fraud?!" This is a prime example of what is called Gaslighting. The elites in charge (make no mistake about it - Musk, Trump, and Project 2025 are a privileged group of elites), want to foster doubt in the minds of everybody. They have had a plan to sow distrust and confusion among most everybody who even has voiced an interest in cutting government waste and fraud out of the system.

The "downsizing government" claims of people in charge are selling the faithful Trojan Horses.

Democrats keep on hanging themselves. Didn't Republicans have control of the White House & both house of Congress at times, over the past 70 years ? When did they cut Social Security ?

The left loves protecting waste, fraud and abuse in the SS system.

What insanity is this?

The left loves protecting waste, fraud and abuse in the SS system.

 

[protectionist]

What insanity is this?

It's called uncovering what is covered up.

 

[Dante]

From the Boston Globe article:

"The DOGE team landed at the Social Security Administration this week, with Musk drawing attention for his outlandish claims that large numbers of 150-year-old “vampires” are receiving Social Security payments. DOGE has begun installing its own operatives, including an engineer linked to tweets promoting eugenics and executives with a cut-first-fix-later philosophy, in multiple top positions at the Social Security Administration."

“Social Security will not be touched,”...a promise he has been making for years. -
Can people trust, fully trust a convicted felon? I can't. Not in this lifetime.

"Even before Trump was inaugurated, the agency’s staffing levels were at a 50-year low due to a decade of budget caps and cuts authored by congressional Republicans."

 

[Dante]

It's called uncovering what is covered up.

Right. It's all so covered up, people like you have been talking about it for ages.

Some secret.

 

[Dante]

Democrats keep on hanging themselves. Didn't Republicans have control of the White House & both house of Congress at times, over the past 70 years ? When did they cut Social Security ?

When did Democrats put people in FEMA camps, take away everyone's guns, cancel liberty and freedom...

go away

Some secret.

So you don't think some nefarious activity regarding Social Secuirty has been uncovered by the DOGE ?

Did you forget the gratuitous 20% increase in Social Security benefits that was passed by a Democrat Congress in 1972 and opposed but signed by President Nixon under the threat of a government shutdown? That political ploy shortened the fiscal solvency timeline of Social Security by at least ten years.

 

[protectionist]

Questions don't "go away". They remain until you answer them.

Again: Didn't Republicans have control of the White House & both houses of Congress at times, over the past 70 years ? When did they cut Social Security ?

 

[protectionist]

When did Democrats put people in FEMA camps, take away everyone's guns, cancel liberty and freedom...

go away

They cancelled liberty and freedom, when they arrested hundreds of Jan 6 protesters, who were doing noth8ng but protesting outside the Capitol,, never engaged in violence, and never set foot inside the Capitol. And they cancelled liberty and freedom again, when they denied these protesters their legal right to a trial with 70 days, as the law requires.

What insanity is this?

Yes completely insane dembots

The "downsizing government" claims of people in charge are selling the faithful Trojan Horses.

People talk in third person for several reasons:

Emotional boost: Engaging in third-person self-talk can provide an emotional or psychological boost in stressful situations.

Psychological distance: It provides necessary psychological distance between the self and anxiety-inducing contexts.

Self-esteem and rational thinking: Some people find that speaking in third person improves self-esteem, ability to perform under stress, manage emotions, and think through complex situations in a more rational and calm manner.

Speaking of the current claims of "reform" under the Musk/Trump admin. If you're gonna play dumb, don't bother. You won the prize long ago.
