Hello Everybody,

Remember the State of the Union speech, when President Joe Biden
told the country that Republicans planned to do away with Social
Security? And Republicans responded, loudly, that Biden was lying?

Well, guess what? Biden told the fucking truth.

As shown by Speaker McCarthy and his merry band of Grinches,
passing legislation to raise the age of retirement to age 69.

Ronald Reagan started them on this path on April 20, 1983. That's
right. Hitler's birthday. It was all his idea. You see, raising the
retirement age means fewer people will receive benefits. And that
will cut the budget. The more people die, the better off the rest
of us will be.

Just keep raising the retirement age until there are no more people
to retire. That is the ticket for success.

Go ahead and tell me this is not true, Marjorie Greene. Shout it to
the world. And make sure your Republican colleagues do the same.

Fucking hypocrites.

Social Security Benefits Targeted for Cuts by House Republicans

House conservatives on Wednesday proposed raising the US retirement
age to collect Social Security, handing Democrats damaging political
ammunition ahead of the 2024 election.

The proposal by the 176-member House Republican Study Committee would
gradually increase the retirement age, ultimately hitting 69 years old
for those turning 62 in 2033. The current retirement age for full
benefits is 66 and rising gradually to 67.

Democrats successfully used similar proposals from fiscal conservatives
to their advantage in the 2022 midterm election. Their message that
the GOP was targeting old-age benefits resonated with voters and was
credited with limiting Democrats’ losses in the House.

Under the plan, which is unlikely to become law, benefits for current
retirees wouldn’t be cut. But for those expecting an earlier retirement
benefit, lifetime payouts would be lower.
