A few questions for MAGA supporters.
1 Do you know Trump’s position on making Social Security sustainable? Better look it up? 2 Have you heard anything lately about his “great” new health plan - coming in a few months — ten years ago? 3 Are you pleased he kept us out of foreign wars? 4 Was there a quick resolution of the Ukraine war employing his negotiating skills with Putin? 5 Has the deficit been lowered or our national debt been paid down using the high tariffs as promised? 6 Has there been a comprehensive […]https://quinnscommentary.net/2026/07/14/a-few-questions-for-maga-supporters/

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/13/disability-benefits-why-we-shouldnt-call-it-welfare. I agree entirely with Ruth Lister - #socialsecurity #benefits, especially those for the #disabled, should not be referred to, either by #politicians or #journalists, as #welfare. "Welfare" is, or has become, a demeaning & contemptuous term.

AEE YOU STUPID?
MAGA MIKE said this - Johnson said: ""Every dollar we spend on senior citizens could have gone somewhere else, right? But people basically just pretended like that wasn't the case, because they weren't treated the same way most of the rest of the budget was."
AARP hasn't commented yet but i expect an action email in my inbox soon as i'm on an advocacy list somewhere.

Just gonna say, government websites got a whole lot worse under the #Trump administration. Having trouble logging into my #SocialSecurity account, never had trouble doing so under #Biden.

Mmmm. Trump Accounts. “That’s a lot of money,” the ad says. Your baby is given $1k at birth. You can’t afford to contribute more because inflation.
In 50 years, you will have $7,106.68 at 4% (generous!) compound interest.
Oh, and tell your baby that that replaces Social Security.

😬 U.S. retirees don't get a fair share of #SocialSecurity, etc.—"for #Medicare [they get] TRIPLE what they paid in."
Jessica Riedl adds, "the math doesn’t work": https://freakonomics.com/podcast/ten-myths-about-the-u-s-tax-system
And the #USA spends more on #retirement welfare recipients of these programs than on any other federal budget item! So these may be the lowest-hanging fruits in terms of fiscal #policy.
Given these are probably third rail issues, how can we actually right-size retirement welfare programs to get the U.S. #budget back on track?
Is there a way to make retirement reform a winning issue without votes from aging #welfare kings and queens?

I was just asked this question, so I'm posting —
You MUST file your next #taxes jointly with your spouse if you are 65+ in the #USA , married, & seek the $6,000 tax break ("enhanced deduction for seniors") that you could get with having #SocialSecurity income.
The filing status of "married filing separately" does NOT qualify.
This enhanced credit was initiated after last summer's spending bill and will expire in tax year 2028.

Nearly half of retirees who go back to work do it for the money, not to stay busy. And the largest bloc of House Republicans wants to raise the retirement age to 69. Their fix for the retirement crisis: work until you drop dead and a 13% benefit cut per the CBO. #SocialSecurity #VoteBlue

The wealthy elites demanding that everyone work until 70 (or longer), so that they don’t have to pay FICA tax on all of their income like the rest of us, are the same wealthy elites who have no intention of hiring anyone over 50.
