You would think that a program that has benefited hundreds of millions of retirees over the last 82 years (the first monthly payments began in 1940) would be safe. I remember that my mother and father were so happy when in 1954, during the Eisenhower administration, independent farmers were brought into the program.
Earlier this week, in a closed door session, the Republican leadership had as its first goal, balancing the federal budget in ten years. Republicans also want to cut the I.R.S. budget drastically, ensuring that tax cheats like Trump and other rich bastards can cheat with impunity, resulting in less revenue. All of this will mean deep cuts in Social Security and Medicare.
Why do these people win elections?
