It's nothing new. They've done the same with Medicare & Social Security for almost a century.They never quit.

Elections have consequences. A man like this never belonged near the levers of power. Not the first time. And certainly not this second time when everything was knowable. We are trapped in a tragedy and must fight our way out.
