Remember, Social Security is not technically part of the budget deficit. It is designed to be self supporting. Republicans just kept “borrowing” from it to pay for wars in Iraq, etc. while giving tax cuts to the rich.
Now they don’t want to pay it back.

Is anyone else loving China spilling the tea of the manufacturing of "luxury" goods all over tik tok. I think it's about time Americans learn about how big our retailers' markups really are. Some of them make movie theater markups look miniscule in comparison.

Does anyone else think there needs to be a cap on CEO pay. Something like a CEO can't be paid more than 50 times the lowest paid employee in the company.
What do these corporations have in common?
Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel
In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Over 2 TRILLION dollars of value wiped out in less than 24 hours. This is why dismantling the social safety net is a terrible idea.
To be clear, REPUBLICANS want to dismantle social security and put the financial security of our elderly entirely in the hands of Wall Street.

The stock market is collapsing, and that means the retirement savings of everyday Americans are disappearing by the hour. This is all because of Trump's reckless mismanagement of the economy. Now, these tariffs that are being imposed will raise the cost of goods for everyday Americans.

Would be nice if congress could remember it is illegal for the president to unilaterally impose tariffs
