Republicans want to kill Social Security for no reason other than they hate it.
“That concern emerged Monday when Rep. Mike Lee (R-Utah) uncorked a tweet thread on X labeling Social Security ‘a classic bait and switch’ and ‘an outdated, mismanaged system.’”
The problem is that Republicans want to PRIVATIZE Social Security—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.
For the born Republican, 1932 is only yesterday, and Herbert Hoover must be avenged at all costs.
@feloneouscat no... Let them do it. I wanna hear the Republicans cry and attempt to fix it.
I’m on Social Security so I’d really prefer they didn’t.
Make no mistake: "Medicare Advantage" is a double con.
It's NOT Medicare.
There is NO Advantage.
There's a reason we need the GOVERNMENT to be in control of Social Security & Medicare... if it ever gets privatized it will be the most expensive, least effective, and only serve the Insurance Industry- not the people who depend on these vital services at the time in their lives when they're options are already very limited.
@feloneouscat and if anyone tried to hurt social security, the backlash would be terrible. They would not survive their term ,vote wise.
