49. SS is easy to fix but they don't want to fix it

So they'll make it go broke faster. When will the Trump voters wake up? Most of them need SS.

I spoke to a supporter who said "I don't think they'll get away with cutting SS."
He didn't seem to mind that they are saying they want to, nor did he notice that the only people in power trying to stop them are the Dems he voted against. And with Kamala in the presidency, no one would have to fight to keep it. He doesn't like Kamala because she lies. Sigh.
