Looks like it’s scumbag politics… They want all the credit. They don’t want the population associating this with any Democrats whatsoever, they want to make it appear as a GOP bill passed by a fully GOP lead government… It will be passed, but not until next year so they can claim full credit…
Generally yeah, but even the article pointed out that it was bipartisan and the scumbags caucus was the one that put it on the shelf for now. There was a lot of language about “unfair distributions” so if anything they’ll make slight clarifications to that. Social security is kind of a “third rail” of politics, you touch it you die.
Old people and billionaires are the two classes of people you don’t mess with in politics, one votes for you the other owns you, but then again now that gen z seems to be brainwashed by Reich wing disinformation podcasts and tictoks maybe Republicans will ditch their fear of old people revolting against them.
I feel like at this point the Republicans don’t have to worry about their policies being popular anymore. Their voters are stuck in an information bubble where anything they don’t like is scapegoated on someone else.
They don’t want to get rid of SS, they want to privatize it. It’s be a huge fucking windfall for everyone on Wall Street and come the next crash, all those assets will be gone. Then they’ll just blame their non-existent God, the invisible hand of the market.

You do understand their agenda is to cut services? They will be taking credit for that.

Sounds like that’s the Dems fault
This is an intentional joke, right?
Yes, yes it is.
They don’t want to get rid of SS, they want to privatize it. It’s be a huge fucking windfall for everyone on Wall Street and come the next crash, all those assets will be gone. Then they’ll just blame their non-existent God, the invisible hand of the market.
they want to change the bill so it that it gets funded by a tax cut for the wealthy.
