GOP Will Cut Budget Of Social Security Agency To Stop Or Hinder Checks & Payments.

Last edited Mon Jan 8, 2018, 03:33 PM - Edit history (2)

Maybe they have already cut the agency with the hiring freeze. But on Hartmann right now the are sabotaging the agency that will delay checks and payments to medical facility. The cuts to Medicare will be to doctors and providers so they cannot afford to serve seniors.

ADDENDUM. Was just waking up and Hartmann was interviewing a guest whose name I did not get. The bottom line is that the GOP is supposedly cutting personnel at the Social Security Administration so there are not enough workers to properly serve the publics. It means long waits to get things done.

Ultimately approvals for Medicare and Social Security will be delayed. They want service to get bad to it can be turned over the the banks.

...the momentum against the Trump cabal is ours.

Hopefully, we won't disregard such defeatism-seeding for much longer.
