We could also expand Social Security benefits. There’s no reason even to consider reducing Social Security benefits or raising the age of eligibility. 339103114149

Reposted by DebbiJohn Oberlin @factsthatmatter.bsky.social · 26/01/2025The stock market went up 53% the last two years of the Biden administration. Trump said everything was failing.
