“…..Republicans knew this would happen and they have no solution”. This is what they’re hoping for.

They’d be grinning the most Grinchy grins about that, since they hate the most successful anti-poverty program in the history of the US. This is how Republicans get rid of stuff they dislike: DEFUND it, scream “fraud!”, fire everybody, then grouse that the agency or program doesn’t work after they destroyed and defunded it. Or, that it should be privatized so their billionaire buddies can make billions off it, make it 4x more expensive to run and shitty as hell.

I’ve seen some Dem Congresscritters posting about Social Security in the past few days - something they rarely (inexplicably) do since they all seem to want to just ignore it most of the time.

It makes me wonder WTH they know is going on with it right now with it, that we are not aware of.
