Trump is allowing Big Balls to attempt to take away your grandmother’s Social Security benefits, as well as the Social Security benefits of your disabled neighbor who is so kind but requires them due to Down syndrome, or the neighbor who broke their back at work and is now receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). Fraud and waste are always the bullshit argument Republicans use to try and weed out legitimately disabled people from safety net programs. Let’s not bullshit around about what is going on. wired.com/story/big-balls-soci #uspol #socialsecurity

" #SocialSecurity’s crisis is a year closer — and #Trump’s approach will make it worse
"The president and his allies claim they want to target 'waste, fraud and abuse.' Such targets either don’t add up or don’t exist at all."

#Panama: teachers #strike for #pension, supported by banana workers and indigenous communities. Government responds with tear gas, beatings, arbitrary arrests

Education International · Panama: Government crackdown on trade union for defending teachers' rightsIt will soon be two months since members of the MPU, union affiliated to Education International, began an indefinite strike and protests in defence of teachers’ right to a decent pension. Far from showing any willingness to negotiate, the national government has responded with repression and is continuing its brutal crackdown on teachers.

Meanwhile, Social Security’s trust funds — which cover old age and disability recipients — will be unable to pay full benefits beginning in 2034, instead of last year’s estimate of 2035. After that point, Social Security would only be able to pay 81% of benefits.

"A recent Gallup poll found that Americans are increasingly worried about the economy, inflation, and #SocialSecurity. Those three issues ranked among participants' five greatest concerns, and the percentage of people that "worry a great deal" about Social Security benefits reached a 15-year high."

"As Republican senators consider President Donald Trump’s big bill that could slash federal spending and extend tax cuts, a new survey shows most U.S. adults don’t think the government is overspending on the programs the GOP has focused on cutting, like Medicaid and food stamps."

AP News · US adults want more funding for Medicaid and food stamps, AP-NORC poll saysA new poll shows most U.S. adults don’t think the government is overspending on the programs Republicans in Congress have focused on cutting, like Medicaid and food stamps. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll shows Americans broadly support increasing or maintaining existing levels of funding for popular safety net programs, including Social Security and Medicare. They’re more divided on spending around the military and border security. As Republican senators debate President Donald Trump’s bill that could slash federal spending and extend tax cuts, the survey points to a disconnect between Republicans’ policy agenda and public sentiment around the domestic programs that are up for debate.
