Republicans want to kill Social Security for no reason other than they hate it.

β€œThat concern emerged Monday when Rep. Mike Lee (R-Utah) uncorked a tweet thread on X labeling Social Security β€˜a classic bait and switch’ and β€˜an outdated, mismanaged system.’”

The problem is that Republicans want to PRIVATIZE Social Securityβ€”that would be thr REAL bait and switch.

Don’t be fooled. Overhead for Social Security is about 5%. You cannot privatize it for less than 30% overhead.

"A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public;
they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke."

-- Soren Kierkegaard, Either/Or, Part I
