The GOP will misrepresent S.S. as a Investment with a poor ROI in an attempt sell their privatization scam.
This video is from the era of GWB's failed attempt, so the figures are dated but the program is accurately described.

Infectious diseases do not magically disappear just because you stop tracking and reporting. This is dangerous.
When diseases spread in silence, outbreaks go undetected for much longer and containment is more difficult.
All of this means more avoidable deaths.
