I've been tracking the quid pro quo between Trump and the cryptocurrency industry at https://www.followthecrypto.org/quidproquo
Fresh off the propaganda press: a steaming pile of bullshit in my inbox, paid for by taxpayer money.
Included the closing sentence of the email because LMFAO "we're definitely going to keep you in the loop even though we're actively avoiding telling you how you're probably about to lose your insurance and your nursing facility will close"
To the fuckers that sent out the email from #SocialSecurity that said how wonderful the new bill will be: Fuck you.
Assholes...
Already on this great (US) holiday, I had to throw up in my mouth.
I got an email from the official Social Security account telling me how great my life is going to be because of the tax cuts in the Big Ugly Garbage Bill.
Here is some math for you. Currently 20% of my tiny ($1200/month) SS payment counts as taxable income toward my almost non existent federal income taxes. So, excluding that last 20% might "save" me a couple of hundred a year.
On the other hand, I currently pay 25% of my SS income in Medicare and supplement premiums. This 25% does not include any out of pocket medical costs I might incur.
How do you think taking medical coverage from millions of people is going to affect my medical costs? Additionally, I live in a smaller city. I am guessing that in the next 10 years my medical access will deteriorate significantly as providers close and leave, killing my quality of life and eventually me, much sooner than would have happened otherwise.
So, thanks for the "tax cuts" that will probably bankrupt and kill me.
