Social Security benefits could soon be cut by 22%

18. Last time Mike Johnson uttered "SS cuts" he backed right off because it is the third rail.

No more. He's fine with it

Now it fits in with "we can afford nothing except shovelling billions into the pockets of people who already have obscene wealth."

They are literally saying it:

No tax dollars for safety nets, no tax dollars for protection against disease and pests, no tax dollars for healthcare, no tax dollars for regulatory oversight and enforcement, no tax dollars for justice for financial crimes, no tax dollars for auditing the rich, no tax dollars anti-terrorism, no tax dollars for national security, no tax dollars for advancing science, no tax dollars for community development, no tax dollars for contending with climate change... and on and on.

All our tax dollars are good for two things: enriching the rich and abusing, denying access to courts, and deporting every non-white person they.can get away with.

I think they honestly believe they can so thoroughly corrupt our elections that they are just fine with pushing an agenda that 80% of the nation utterly rejects.

I think they are flat wrong.

Time will tell.
