Social Security has been 7 years from going bankrupt for the past 56 years.
This is a lie Republicans created and perpetuate to condition you into accepting the loss of an earned benefit you paid for in every check you ever earned.
During the war in Syria about 600,000 people were killed, some with chemical weapons used against them by the regime. In addition, millions of Syrians became refugees in their own country and abroad. Israel did not do this. Iran and Hezbollah did. Why no cries of genocide?

Eric Holder and Rahm Emmanuel are re-minting themselves as antidotes to neoliberalism. It’s too much really.

Social Security is not a welfare program. It is an earned benefit, paid for by its future recipients. And it's not broke.
Social security is our money. Let's keep it that way. Let's boldly say "NO!" to any Republican attempt to tamper with Social Security!

Billionaire “plowed more than $260 million into the 2024 election,” wants tax cuts, comes after Social Security. The Great Looting begins.

It's time for billionaires to pay the same tax rate as the rest of us.
ALT White text on a black background that says, "If billionaires like Elon Musk paid into Social Security at the same rate as the rest of us on all of their income, we could expand benefits for everyone and pay them in full forever."

Mike Lee should listen to his hero, Ronald Reagan:
"Social Security has nothing to do with the deficit."

As a former trustee of Social Security, I'm worried the program is in danger of running dry. Why?
As the rich have gotten richer, more of their income has escaped the cap on the SS payroll tax.
We can fix this by scrapping the cap. Watch.

I was a Sanders delegate at that convention, and it was enough for me to never want to have anything to do with the Democrat party ever again

Isn't Elon Musk the greatest hypocrite in the US?
He opposes federal funding, but lives on federal subsidies.
He opposes government regulations, but wants regulations favoring him.
He wants illegal immigrants to be deported, but he was an illegal immigrant.
What Trash!

The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.”
But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people.
Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.
