Where are all the people that used to be in the great American middle? I’m still here and can’t see but just a few folks nearby. Oh, and 3 dogs…
Stay off Facebook for a week and what’s the first post I’m shown in my feed?
“So, as middle-class people, what’s the plan for when our retired and disabled relatives lose their social security, Medicare and Medicaid?”
At my age, just the mere thought of cuts to SSI and Medicare make my stomach roll over. In addition, I worked for a dentist about 100 years ago and understand how important basic healthcare is for those who can’t afford to pay for it. We fixed teeth for a whole lot of kids with medicaid, and they should still be eating with them now… decades later.
Next, that FB post morphed into people commenting that Elon would still get his hair transplants, Viagra, and chin surgeries covered. I know the government pays for Viagra — at least for Veterans with PTSD & depression — but I’m not aware of money allocated for cosmetic procedures. Have you heard of any? And anyone that believes Elon needs the federal government to subsidize a few pills and work done by Bosley is a moron. 🙄
