Trump Administration Poised to Cut SSI Benefits for Nearly 400,000 Low-Income Disabled and Older People
The average annual savings from these benefit cuts would barely pay for a single day of the massive tax cuts for the wealthy that are part of the Republican megabill enacted in July.

Those three dates, Easter Sunday, Hitler’s birthday and the end date for the recommendation on whether or not to use martial law is quite a “happenstance” that is symbolic to a large portion of the Nazis in the administration.
