I was a “Real Conservative Republican” until 2016. Trump is so far from my Christian and Conservative values, no way he was ever getting my vote. I think it was more gaslighting from him and media about economy and immigration for 2024. In 2016 James Comey gave him the election - emails vs NOW?

So sorry, way “too many” of “us”. I had to leave Phoenix as I knew I would be driving on that same freeway twice a day to work. I think they transferred me to Denver on purpose - from 115 to 30 below zero. Was fine, I got away was all that mattered. This is last move I hope.

Thanks. Part of me feels like I bailed on Social Security. This was only after I realized there was very little I could do and DOGE. Watched 60 Minutes last night. Head of NIH said he left for same reasons, DOGE destruction. Now I think I’ll feel “wanted” and I can help out more.

With F47, all things are possible. I remember Trump 1 like yesterday. I was GOP and helping first Sanders - AZ screwed him big time and after reluctantly Clinton. I voted for Kasich, in primary only GOP. I told people Trump will wreck this country for a decade. I was wrong, it’s permanent.

So the Republican party’s performance has been better over the past 20 years? Obama tripled the stock market, my home’s value tripled after Bush crumbled it. Clinton quadrupled the market, I was too young then. My dem criticism, when they go low we now need to go way lower, forget high.

Absolutely! 1.2% on earnings over $400k, $500k joint. $4,800 - make $5 million, that’s it. $50 million that’s it. Solvent for 75 years. 2018 Midterms they lost 41 seats. We need to beat that number.

Michael D @michaelatty.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

1000% right, plus they keep saying nothing will happen. It will. Payments will keep coming, but they could slow the process down even more. When that happens, we need to all shout this out more to GOP. They think from 75,000 employees, our highest pre-pandemic to 50,000 solves problems? No way.

000

Michael D @michaelatty.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

Employees crying, one cutting wrist… They can’t get rid of SS, only slow it down even more so. Congress can only change the 1935 SS Act. A vote against SS is political suicide. Solvency is THE problem. I have many posts on this. GOP plan, retire age 69 and raise taxes. DEM plan, Tax The Rich.

I know it first hand. Started at SSA age 22, left last week after 17 years. DOGE is making things way more difficult plus letting highly skilled people go. Not closing offices, just 10/1200. It wasn’t just me, morale, a law clerk cutting her wrist, people crying at their desk. I had enough.
