Do you, or anyone reading this, sincerely think the Trump administration will somehow totally cancel Social Security in the next few days?

Really? Why exactly do you think that? And I want details, not just some "We can't trust them" nonsense.

I do keep on pointing out that at least as many Republicans have mothers who are dependent on Social Security and Medicare as Democrats have.

Although a part of me wants to have those idiots cancel Social Security, and then are truly surprised that Mom now needs to move in.

I'm curious, how does Social Security have your email? hunter Mar 1 #12
