Summary
Donald Trump and Elon Musk are falsely claiming that tens of millions of dead people collect Social Security to justify cutting “waste” and “fraud.”
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick echoed this, calling Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid “wrong” while supporting Musk’s plan to slash $1 trillion in spending.
Despite Trump’s public assurances, House Republicans’ budget proposals include deep cuts to these programs while prioritizing massive tax breaks for the wealthy.
Experts note improper Social Security payments are minimal, contradicting Musk’s claims.
right. I’m sure your self-righteousness, apathy and inaction are going to be a great asset when it comes to building a “better future”.
Except that the result so far has only been the exact opposite of ‘building’ and ‘progress’.
and that’s a reason to stop trying altogether?
edit: a word
Re-read my reply. I’m agreeing with you.
lol and maybe you can take 5 minutes to vote on the second worst suggestion for how things should be run when someone thinks about it for you
there are more ways to take action than to vote.
I’m just as dissolutioned with the voting system as you are, but I’m also aware that sitting around complaining and acting like you know better than everyone else is only obnoxious accomplishes nothing.
either do literally anything at all to contribute, or go find an empty room to whinge into. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the echo.
🤔 like protesting genocide and pressuring the party to select a progressive candidate? But that’s illegal and everyone that did that were secret Trump supporters. You’re just supposed to vote blue.
