Call every republican

And ask them “ How will the elderly on social security be able to afford these price increases?”. That should also be the first question to the weirdo( Leavitt). I call her that because she is married to a 60 year old.

Every Congressional Democrat should be doing what AOC and Bernie are doing.

Donate to Indivisible.

The republicans won’t do them and with congress in session even democrats can only do them once in awhile now.
Calling them is every day.

4. Price increases aren't the worry. SS has COLAs.

The worry is that the little feller will sell the dummies on the idea of not taxing Social Security. "Look what I got, Dems! Derp!" Meanwhile, they're hastening the emptying of the trust fund. Republicans are "helping" the people on Social Security by burning its money today instead of tomorrow.

If he doesn't get his ring kissed by enough trading partners we could be in for a world of hurt. I'm saying that other people than SS recipients have it worse. The non-SS folks barely getting by have no COLAs. It could even turn non-retirees against retirees.

This is why we Dems need to renounce anything that isn't meat and potatoes. These weird head-of-a-pin, die-on-every-hill luxuries are killing us and are an unconscionable abandonment of our people. Woke has to go. Right idea. Catastrophically foolhardy execution.
