I am the same. Won't ever miss Jeff (and Chicago Public Square) but I am done with MSNBC and I have scrubbed the phone and laptop of anything vaguely political. I was sick yesterday, in despair, enraged. But we're in it now and we can get through it. We will probably be broke and lose our Social Security and Medicare, but who needs health or money???

Well, a friend pointed out the fact that the Repubs also get SS and Medicare and the Nazis will not dare take it away from them, their people. That gave me some comfort.
A lot of the Social Security cutting plans leave over-60's alone, but really stick it to Gen-Z, delaying their retirement rights, reducing their benefits, etc. Since Gen-Z apparently was the group voting most strongly for Trump, I'll try to find my tiny violin.
Politicians have talked for years (but no action) about setting income limits for SS for the very wealthy. IOW, if your income from whatever source is $xxx.xx per year, you don't get SS. But even if it's Jeff Bezos', the money deducted from his paychecks IS HIS MONEY. Hey, Bill Gates, David Geffin, Warren Buffet, other billionaires -- donate your SS checks back into the SS fund!
ThereтАЩs definitely truth to this Arne, however the congressional finance committee has also claimed the current status of both Medicare and social security isnтАЩt sustainable, a proposed 23% cut of benefits is on the table!
Great! Let the billionaires donate their SS back into the fund! These BASTARDS aren't paying income tax, so fuck them. No one needs more than a billion $$. Since Reagan, the wealth transfer from middle class to wealthy increased to a mind-numbing degree. Where the FUCK were our DC govt. to stop the evils of income inequality??? It didn't just happen overnight. ЁЯдмЁЯдмЁЯдм
