    Any reason why the Dems didn’t deal with SS and Medicare when they controlled both houses?

      Like “quick, change the entirety of the existing safety net while we have 18 months to do it instead of everything else”?

        It’s just weird that nothing was done when they knew that the elitists had targeted the entitlement programs. Now, the very lemmings who most rely upon them are going to vote for the evisceration of them.

          I can only think they were targeting them too but we’re not as brazen as the republicans
