I care about this issue because I am disabled after working and paying into social security for decades, and I have friends who are retired. This is insanity, it will cause millions to become homeless. It will cause children to starve. Just to give even more tax breaks to the ultra rich. This is America, We should do better!
After I signed up for the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP)--the military equivalent of the 401(k)--I watched as the $8K that I'd saved up in five years' time dropped in the mid-2000s to $3K, as the government took back its share and scooped out my contributions along with it. It would be nothing short of a crime for the same thing to occur with Social Security. This is something we've paid into it with our taxes for decades. This program is a stopgap for millions of Americans who need it to remain housed, fed, and clothed, among other things. Removing it will not "save the government money"--it will only cause more economic trouble in a dozen different directions, and will cheat people out of their own invested funds. We trusted this country, and we invested in the United States with our Social Security taxes, and the U.S. invested in us. It was a promise for us to mutually look after one another--and one that should be kept.
Please, please protect our social security! We have paid into it our entire working lives and we need this. Government may run the program but that money is ours. If you cut it we want every dime we have paid into it returned. If not it's taxation without representation all over again along with outright theft and mismanagement that can't be blamed on anyone other than whomever cuts it.
I paid into Social Security for 52 years. The fund has been repeatedly raided by craven politicians. Any future shortage can easily be precluded by removing the cap on Social Security earnings and making billionaires pay their fair share!
The immigration system in the United States is broken. This administration is even deporting green card holders! No human being deserves to be treated inhumanly.
There people have already died in this detention center due to the horrid conditions they are being subjected to. Private prisons are making money off of innocent people. The government is paying private prisons millions of dollars so of course they are arresting as many people as possible and keeping them in these detainment centers (prisons) for as long as long as possible. It’s all about the money!! People’s Greed is destroying everything!!
