President Trump was right in 2020: "We've spent $8 trillion in the Middle East and we're not fixing our roads in this country? How stupid. How stupid is it? And we're not fixing our tunnels, our bridges, our hospitals, our schools? It's crazy."

#ResistanceUnited Repubs voted against extending the ACA tax credits because it would increase the deficit by $30 billion a year. But the Trump "administration" has blown up the deficit by $167 billion, and they always find ways to cut taxes for the wealthy. Red states will be hit hardest.

#ResistanceUnited Almost 550,000 American workers are over 80. It's one of the fastest-growing demographics in the workforce. Many were unable to save enough to retire, or had a health emergency, or had to care for adult children. Many barely get by. www.businessinsider.com/working-at-8...

America's oldest workers can't retire. Here's how they're getting by.
For America's oldest workers, retirement isn't possible. Workers in their 80s live paycheck to paycheck, use Social Security, and dip into savings.
