The internal document detailed a proposal that the agency acknowledged would “strain” resources and hurt “vulnerable populations.”
The alternative to no social security, medicare, etc is the kind of human experience you see in a country like India which also doesn’t have those sorts of programs. The disabled or old and poor end up either having to depend on their children, if they have any, or living on the streets begging and hoping for charity NGOs to help them.
And so, many areas become rife with poverty and disease. They’re not safe, clean places to live let alone raise your kids. India ended up full of little gated communities because of this problem.
That’s what America would become without social safety nets.
There will be mass graves in the US if the oligarchs have their way about it.
And they won’t care because their profits will soar in the short-term.
What’s even crazier is their profits are nose diving.
I’m cynical, I believe they’ll rebound in the short term… And the worker class will be all the worse for it… I certainly hope I’m wrong though.
At this point I hope they completely destroy social security. This would be one powerful way to get the idiot trump voters to start second guessing their voting habits. Then maybe… we get dems to come back and fix it?
Idk. The shit trump is doing has to hurt his supporters otherwise nothings gonna happen.
Is there any link to an article that is more than just a picture and title? am I missing something?

This is where the link took me. It’s a full article.
Seems like its probably a PieFed issue.

NoScript is awesome but breaks so much. No worries, glad you got it figured out.
