Saturday Feb. 22nd 2025. Good Morning everyone! As the news rolls on about the cuts of government employees, and more, I shake my head. I ask, when will Trump bring down food prices, when will he provide healthcare, to all. When will he keep his promises he made when he ran for election? I know now he won’t and he doesn’t care.
But, that is another issue for the political world to solve now. we are stuck with it, and the Trump backers and MAGA crowd will suffer like the rest of us.
Lets discuss, something else here, for I tire of it all and the bad news only gets worse. Lets talk about those of us, 55 and up, or older. Lets talk about how we are going to take care of ourselves and those we love, as we age. Social Security it looks like is going to be maxed out and fail within 10 to 20 years at best. So who pays for us senior citizens when they steal it away from us? How do we survive? Do our children take care of us, or does the government help? Any ideas folks?
What of the Veteran’s who served our country like myself, got injuries on duty and get Disability Payments monthly? Will we continue to get our payments to live on monthly. What of our health care we earned and benefits, do they stay or get better? I ask, because i am like many, I live on both social security and disability payments. If they get shut down or taken, I have nothing left, I am rated 100 percent unemployable. What then, where do I turn?
Next thing, I worry about is the fact I am a 69 year old widower. Living alone in a 55 plus community. So I have to provide, for myself, gas prices are rising, medical cost is up, food is up. where do I turn if my monthly checks get cut and does anyone care? bad enough I have six herniated discs in my spine and PTSD, right. I learned long ago now, I have to live cheap and hang on to survive. These are my concerns at 69 years old. Imagine what your children or grandchildren, will go through when they get older. They will have no Social Security. And no place to turn either. What then, folks?
As I age, I pray each month my checks come in. Just so I can pay for a place to live and eat and stay warm. Imagine what will happen when Social Security is shut off, or Veteran’s Benefits are cut. Imagine when you receive bills from hospitals in the thousands of dollars and can’t pay them. Or you have to go to food pantries to eat, or senior Centers to beg for a meal. That is where Trump is pushing America to, folks. When you see it happen to your relatives, your children or family members or yourself, you will understand. You won’t cheer for Trump then.
The Unemployment lists are growing as people are fired and laid off. Food Prices are rising each day, Trump’s tariffs will raise your taxes too. he or Musk do not care folks, they have billions to live on, you don’t. IT’s a sad predicament for the average American isn’t it. Some will live high on the hog so to say. The average and below will starve and die off ultimately. We don’t have the billions Trump and Musk have, and they are getting richer from it all too.
I ask now one thing to all who Voted for Trump, did you elect Musk too? He wasn’t on any ballot I saw! Why take away Social Security, we paid into it, why mess with Veteran’s Benefits and Medicare and Medicaid? Why attack the lowest class or average American trying to survive? Explain please, go after the rich, tax them.! They have billions, have them pay more and help out the poor and average, please. Stop killing jobs, stop the rising food prices, rising rents and home costs and utilities cost. Let Americans earn a living and be healthy too. Lower Medical Cost, medical bills are crazy in this day in age, they need to be brought into check. Don’t do it out of the average or poor’s pockets or wallets, your killing Americans. Wake up folks! Leave Veteran’s Benefits alone. Leave Social Security Alone, Leave Medicare and Medicaid alone, leave the Senior citizens something we can survive on.
