What’s the likelihood this actually happens?
I imagine if this happens under a GOP president, you’re never going see a Republican in the White House again.

Which of crazy because billionaires, millionaires and anybody making over $200,000 a year don’t even pay that much into it. They get off on the cheap. It makes no since that they want to destroy it so much other than because of some ideological extremism.

They don’t want people to retire - they want them to keep working until they die. We have a labor shortage and I remember reading one of billionaire tech bros saying that we need to force older people back into the workforce.

Of course - firing millions of federal workers will ease that labor shortage as well…..

I wish I shared your optimism. They’ve never bucked Trump on anything yet.

If this administration were competent, I’d have more worry, but it’s been shown no one knows what to do.

Not to downplay everything, but something like this takes more than one term.
And with each passing day, this administration becomes less powerful.
