They are just going to means-test for Social Security.

I don’t expect to collect in the long term, maybe in the short term.

Bank on it.

Yes because seniors are living high off the hog with their fat social security checks. Ridiculous! Average check is 1400 dollars while republicans are sending another 40 billion to Ukraine. Creeps! I don’t even get social security for 15 years and this still pisses me off.

Trump tax cuts are revoked in 2026. Coincidences?

Only kicks in if you are hospitalized.

My late in-laws were around for the 30s.

They remembered The Crash well.

I’m not worried about a replay of 2008.

The CMBS collapse will be the last elephant too. CMBS issue is not a straw. QE Forever caused this. CMBS fraud is the Son of RMBS from 2008. Corporate Mortgages, and the fraud committed to inflate the revenue generated by the businesses at those locations, are going to put the banks into another ‘crisis’.

US exposure to the Chinese RE collapse is going to be a big factor as well.

I paid Medicare for 48 years. Where did my money go?

To Deep State. For care and feeding of the bureaucracy.

You didn't really think Medicare is about senior health, did you?

The fact that Deep State governors sent sick CoupFlu patients back from hospitals to their residential care facilities (despite Trump relaxing regs to allow facilities to refuse) should have told folks something.

The fact that those facilities took them should have told folks even more.

But Biden sends how much financial aide to the Ukraine? And there is clamoring for more! Constantly!!!

Maybe for those of us on Social Security, there can be some help. Hunter Biden sure knows where to look for ready cash. Perhaps one of Hunters friends in Hollywood can bail us out or he could sell some of his crack induced art to the super rich in the Hamptons!!

Well, I can certainly see the evil DC cabal cutting out Medicare and Social Security, before cutting out welfare/Medicaid.

Just look at the voting base, of these two programs....at least half of the Medicare and SS recipients are NOT Dem voters.

Probably most ALL of the welfare/Medicaid voters ARE Dem voters.

No more money for you, you hard working retiree....it’s all for the non-workers and foreign countries. Now, run along.

Rather than end Medicare, a better and more important solution would be to end Peter Schiff. He is a cancer on the American body

Isn’t Peter Schiff an author who wrote about Biden, Clinton financial corruption? Are you thinking of Adam Schiff (sp?)?

The EBT cards are a joke for us...we get $20 a month for the two of us. My brother and his wife get $350! Brother is on SS and his wife is on SSI disability. We get SS but we have to pay for Medicare for the two of us. Brother also has VA medical benefits (such as they are). How they figure these amounts are crazy.

Any office-holder voting for that bill is an Enemy of the Republic - no matter what letter appears after their name.

They raised the SS payments but raised the Medicare premiums and the deductibles! We are actually losing money when it is all figured out!

Let's send another 8 Billion to Ukraine... Or pay for phones and phone service for another million illegals. Or give more tax breaks to Hunter the whore-monger and his big guy crook of a father... and the rest of the private school scrum stealing our treasure.

Turkey is getting hit with 60% inflation as of April, 2022. Turkish citizens are buying into gold, US dollars, euros and bitcoin as safe havens.

To pay for it put more taxes on the media, Wall Street and all of the ruthless left moguls and feckless corporate rinos who are the cause of our problems. Do not tax further the good middle class GOP voting Americans who are not the cause.
