      That comes when its public knowledge they raided social security.

      Instead of getting a monthly amount that’s rightfully yours because you earned it, you get a larger check once or twice when he feels like it, and you’re at the whim of how merciful he feels like being in the the future. Juuust enough at first so people are happy about it.

      “I mean, on social security I was only getting like $300/m, but here’s a check for $2,000!!!”

      You know his supporters would eat that shit up.

        Something similar happened in Alberta. We all got a 400 dollar cheque like 20 years ago. In exchange for electricity becoming deregulated and privatized so now we pay 1-200 dollars more every month.
