New Front In #RepublicanClassWar: Social Security for the Disabled


New Front In #RepublicanClassWar: Social Security for the Disabled

Republicans on the Senate Budget Committee opened up a new front in that war today by targeting disabled Social Security recipients. They didn’t say they were conducting a class war, of course. Instead, they claimed that they were concerned about the future financial stability of the Social Security disability program ... Republicans drove the government’s deficits with a trillion-dollar tax break for the wealthy and multi-trillion-dollar military spending ... Now they want the disabled and the elderly to pick up their tab ...

Living in a Red State,we see first hand what will be the end results,and it isn't going to be pretty. Many of these so called TeaBillie supporters are the same ones whom this piece of garbage legislation will hurt the most. They simply just don't get it they? These very low information folks simply believe SSDI is going to Hispanic and African Americans and Single African American and Hispanic Females with children. Ask them were they heard this and they will tell you they heard it on Fake Noise or CNN or some blog.

What really gets us a laugh is these are White Folks who are using SSDI as their main source of survival. And if you ask about ACA,wow,stand back cause the screaming and gun waving gets intense. For the most part,these folks have some type of health or disability,that resulted in a early forced retirement. They seem to blame the Liberal Politicians for their maladies and if the Conservatives ran the show,some how they would suddenly be mentally and physically well again. Say what!

Wait till the one third cuts kick in. And so it goes in Rethug Fantasy Land.
