In reply to the discussion: They are preparing us for stopping Social Security [View all]hlthe2b
(112,949 posts)25. Well, the stunts and comments made today--especially by the "Acting Director" of SS should drive home
the point. They are DEFINITELY intent on stealing our money and closing down the entire system. Our Dem Congresspeople know. But if any here are represented by R's you need to get every single person you know to call, snail-mail, and show up at their local offices. DEMAND they act and act NOW.
I really do not want to give voice to what is going to happen if we don't, but it won't end with foreclosures and devastated families. We will see morbidity and all-cause mortality rates skyrocket like we have never seen in peacetime. And yes, that includes death from hopelessness--something that the elderly patients I see are already experiencing.

Am I going to ignore the 45 years and over $700K my employers and I paid in with interest? I think not.
