It’s right on brand.
To the surprise of absolutely no one who hasn’t had their head stuck up their own ass for the last ten years.
There’s more evidence of Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster than there is for Republicans being Pro-Labor.
Good luck with that. Everyone’s for eliminating waste in government until it affects them. Between Social Security and Medicare that’s a lot of voters…
Which progressive group? Who? List actual facts. I know this is a far left sub but come on.
In fairness it is easier in their mind. They just want you to be a wage slave. No worrying about retirement and funding. No worrying about doctors. It’s just go to work or die. Simple options.
Remember – the poor are the problem. If they were competent they wouldnt be poor and with tech and automation we don’t need them anymore. Like, how many poor people live in lower Manhattan or Aspen?
This is the agenda. So, if you’re not in the investor class, fuck you apparently.
Yea liars tend to lie
It’s a core Christian value
It’s so stupid for the GOP to blame a budget problem on social security when it’s covered and paid for by the American workforce. Nobody ever mentions the free crap the wealthy get covered by the government with their tax breaks, tax subsidies, and welfare for the rich. Its easy to own a private jet when you can get it for free.
They voted for it; I say give it to them good and hard. Maybe they’ll think better next time about who they elect.
If gutting Medicare and Social Security only affected those who people who voted for Trump & Company, I’d be “Fine, that’s what you voted for.” But since it affects *everyone*, regardless of whom/what they voted for, this sucks
“It’s easier to not be alive…” – Mike Johnson, probably
Anyone got the direct link to how
That is the point, the voters who Johnson et al into power want their future to be burned.
They will get rid of social security for the American people but we’ll still pay into it. They’ll just rename it to a service fee for American freedom. Payments go directly to the oligarchs.
People voted for them, so it us what it is.
WI experienced these MAGA fascist authoritarians for 13 years after Gov. Walker won the election in 2010. The oligarchs’ shills terminated public unions (except the cops’ union), Medicaid (kids health insurance was diminished,) a gerrymandered MAGA legislator changed laws, and diminished power for Democratic Gov, AG etc. The authoritarians need to be stopped. We must use obstruction, resistance and justice to sue these corrupt MAGA politicians. It took 13 years for a coalition of WI Republicans, Democrats and Independents to vote out the majority of oligarch funded WI Supreme Court justices. In 2023, WI citizens begin to get their rights back!! However, a WI Supreme Court election in April 2025 could return the authoritarians back to power.
