Many people in this country are unable to work. But the Republicans want to get rid of SSI (welfare) and SSDI. What do you want to happen to them? Think the blind, those without limbs, those who can no longer walk or stand, those with intellectual disabilities, the severely autistic. What will happen to those millions of people with no income after Elon Musk and his efficiency crew cancels anything not money generating? |

I mean he tried this last time he was president: https://www.cbpp.org/research/social-security/trump-house-republican-cuts-to-ssi-would-harm-children-with-disabilities https://www.cbpp.org/blog/presidents-budget-would-hurt-people-with-disabilities-1 Echoing a plan from House Republicans, the budget would cut $8 billion from SSI over ten years by reducing benefits for families in which more than one member qualifies for SSI — hurting some of the most vulnerable families, for example when children share a genetic disorder. Some 70 percent of poor families caring for more than one child with disabilities already struggle to meet basic needs, and these cuts would make their lives even harder. Two-thirds of its nearly $50 billion in disability program savings comes from a vague proposal to “test new approaches to increase labor force participation.” The proposal assumes that after five years of experimenting, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will find large savings. SSA, however, has launched many demonstration projects over the years to test new ways to encourage beneficiaries to return to work, and they have consistently shown limited results or proved not cost-effective. Given disability beneficiaries’ severe impairments and high death rates, this proposal is very unlikely to fuel dramatic increases in work and, in turn, large savings for Social Security. Enabling people with disabilities to work to their full potential would likely cost, not save, money. For example, it would mean more — not dramatically less — Medicaid spending for things like the long-term services and supports that many people with disabilities need to work. Slashing vital supports makes it harder for people with severe illnesses and injuries to get back on their feet. |

With a Republican House and Senate, he'll have a rubber stamp. |

| so it is the 2,940,218th thread accusing Trump of something with no evidence and pretending it’s earth shattering evidence and expecting everyone to say “I hate Trump!!” and vote for a democrat. |

That's all they have---their hatred for Trump. No wonder they lost in a landslide! |

Stop pretending that you give a damn! Initially, Hitler put the disabled on a bus and killed them with carbon monoxide. I am sure Project 2025 and Steve miller have a plan. |

13:15 provided evidence. You just ignored it, as usual. |
