Perhaps the MAGA plan is to deport the immigrants and replace them in the fields with America's seniors

As if the substantial loss of purchasing power (36% since the year 2000) isn't bad enough, now we're going to have clowns like Musk and The Jerk trying to gut or eliminate the program?!?

Bottom line is over half of America's elderly will be put into poverty without Social Security and Medicare.

Perhaps the MAGA plan is to deport the immigrants and replace them in the fields with America's seniors.

3. Ya, Grandma loves gardening.

4. The cruelty is the point.

5. Migrants will be replaced by children and convicts.

States like Arkansas have already changed their laws to allow teens to work in dangerous jobs. When both federal and state governments cut safety net programs like SNAP and Medicaid, poor teens will have no choice but to leave school and start working to help support their families.

We lock up more people than any other country in the world. They will likely be forced to work in food processing and other industries that now employ millions of the undocumented. And with huge cuts to safety regulations, no one will care about their working conditions.

10. The private prison industry's stock went up mightily when Dear Leader won.

They will be rolling in dough and squealing like the pigs they are.

9. Start with The Villages in Florida.

Put a mop in their hands and make them earn their retirement. *


* - Satire. This is a mockery of the right-wing view that schoolchildren should work as janitors before they can have lunch, because Jesus would never have fed people for free.

11. That's what I've been saying for quite awhile.

It will be like the Happy Gilmore line, "You're in my world now grandma."

12. Do away with Social Security and you will have a

huge supply of old, hungry and desperate workers who are willing to work cheap to survive.

Predatory Capitalist wet dream!

Bastards.

14. Trump's immigration crackdown will be

a lot more smoke than fire. It won't be very effective.
