19. I think Shrub used a commission

Thu Dec 26, 2024, 03:08 PM

Thursday

to try to gut Social Security and Medicare.

I expect that this will be a repeat of that, a commission that doesn't involve Congress, done secretly.

This Musk/Trump administration will be the most secretive in our history. Plenty of shit being done behind closed doors.
