to live on when they take it away? Nursing homes will close and hundreds of thousands will be on the street in very short order. What is their plan to care for those people, and it is on them because Democrats are not threatening to come for every penny the elderly and disabled have?

(36,312 posts)The proposals I've seen mostly impact those who have yet to retire. Like raising the age of eligibility, reducing benefits for those who retire early and limiting benefits for those who make above a certain amount of outside income

(21,132 posts)They have no plans on dealing with the consequences.
They do want to end the program and use the money to pay down the debt we have from giving huge tax breaks to billionaires for 40 years.
Rick Scott wants a chance to vote it away every five years. Ron Johnson wants that chance every year.

When Seniors who vote Republican find themselves without a pot to piss in and no family to take them in, will they realize the mistake they made?
The Republicans couldn't care less who they kill off, even their own voters. Senior Living facilities like the one I am in, 3/4 of the residents would have to move elsewhere. Us included. We have adult children who would rather not be forced to take us in.
