SOCIAL SECURITY SUPPORTS THE ECONOMY

Retired Persons aren't couch potatoes.
Let me explain this to Darn Old Dump:
My Social Security doesn't buy yachts or limousines.
Social Security pays my RENT.
Utility companies don't get paid
Grocery stores don't get my money
Gas stations don't get my money
Pharmacies don't get my money
Amazon doesn't get my money
EBay doesn't get my money
Multiply that by the number of people on Social Security.
Why do you want to put these companies out of business??

And there are tens of millions of bubbas who won't be happy if they have to contribute to mom/grandma's help.

I don't doubt we'll see some proposals to raise age a bit, etc.

and all the job cuts that will hurt Republicans too,
How can they keep electing (two) more GOP to the House to help Johnson's Agenda??
