PROGRESSIVE IDIOT ALERT: No, the GOP isn't cutting your Social Security and Medicare.

To find out more of my thoughts on why Social Security is such a debacle, here is a compendium of old thoughts on Social Security. They're in no particular order; that's the way Blogger works. Some of the posts are direct responses to an old Social Security subgroup that was within the MoveOn organization.

I would additionally note that before Biden, my Social Security payments were regular and correctly calculated. During the Biden administration, they have been royally screwed up and Social Security totally nonresponsive to my letters and emails. Now that Trump has taken the reins again, at least the monthly payments are on time and correctly calculated. (The leftover Biden era errors I'm going to let slide; it's too painful to continue the one-way 'conversation' -- and the remaining errors are in my favor.)

SAFETYISM KILLS: California, the ultimate helicopter state, which has led to excessive and even destructive regulations that don’t actually keep you safe, and which in fact may endanger you.

God forbid a piece of “highly toxic ash” touches your skin! God forbid a hazardous particle enters your body! Karen Bass is here to keep you safe as you sit in a cramped hotel room with your children and your dog, or on your friend’s couch.
