to Seniors who vote Republican as well. Makes me wonder if they are on board with this? If they do not have hundreds of thousands socked away, in addition to Pensions they incurred during their working years, they are FUCKED! The Rich ones need not worry.

Democrats have been given a gift to tie EVERY Republican running for office with this Trump proposal. See how voters react. If many Seniors who vote Republican have children working, they will be dependent on them and their adult children fucked over also. Losing Social Security comes to close to $2,000 a month for many retired couples, of which close to or over $300 a month is Medicare Premiums.

Medicare and Medicaid is next on the elimination list, for Republicans have opposed those programs as well.
