A bit of a rant…

Well…have been looking for a topic for a bit that I’ve made harder by doing the news blackout…and I haven’t had any luck so I guess I’ll go on a little rant instead…so, how the hell can people be so stupid? The damn repubs have been telling everyone they are going to destroy SS and Medicare right out in the open and yet the polls say that people in my age group, retirees, are going to overwhelmingly vote for the repubs just because they have to spend a few more dollars on groceries and gas….so let me get this straight, they are willing to vote for repubs since they have been lied into believing inflation is the dems fault, and that means they are voting to destroy the one program that is keeping most of them alive since they think the repubs will do something about inflation and save them 100 bucks a month? As I said, just frickin stupid to give up the average of 1700 bucks a month to save a hundred…where the hell is that 1700 bucks going to come from every month now? After Roe was overturned by the repubs after they had been trying to do it for 50 years, why don’t the old folks believe that they are going to destroy SS when they have been trying to do that sine the 1930′s? Don’t they understand that they will be going back to work until they die? Retirement as they know it is on the ballot in this election and they are throwing it away by voting for repubs…and I still can’t believe how stupid these folks are…geez…

Wake up old folks….

Well…with the repubs now saying they want to end social security as it now exists and replace the guaranteed income with something that has to be re-authorized every 5 years and every 5 years folks like you and me are going to have to sit here and wonder if we are going to be able to live at all, all I have to say is wake up folks! Look, as the polls say, most older people like me vote for repubs for some damn reason, we need to make sure that people living on SS know what is going on and know that a vote for repubs is a vote for their own death from starvation….right now, I can pay all of my bills and put a little away every month and I feel secure for the first time in my life…and I paid for this security my entire life out of every paycheck I ever got from the time I was 15…so it’s NOT an entitlement, it’s our money that we paid for…in my case for 50 years and even talking about taking it away from me is pissing me off…and yet I know people who will continue to vote for repubs even if their lives will be destroyed by them since they just can’t believe that they will ever do that to them…and all I have to say to those folks is that the repubs just made more than 50% of this country second class citizens and most people thought they wouldn’t do that and then Roe was overturned and the repubs immediately started to criminalize women’s healthcare…so, yes, if they are given the power, of course they will eliminate Medicare and social security….they have hated those programs since they were passed and have tried and tried to eliminate them over the years…so, open your eyes old folks…disaster is coming to you if you continue to vote for these assholes….geez…
