If they had not taken money from the fund, it would be solvent. They should pay back all the money they took stating it wasn’t illegal because it came from the general fund. Our money is not general fund money. It should be separate from the general fund. They need to be held accountable

I am retired and just turned 79. I was paying my bills today and checking my bank account to be sure I had enough to cover them. I did, thanks 100% to my social security check that’s automatically deposited into my checking account monthly. I COUNT on that money! I am grateful I socked it away since I started working at 17 and retired at 65. I receive a nice check every month for all my hard work. It is MY MONEY I worked for and trusted my government to carefully invest and watch over so it was always guaranteed to be there when I needed it. Now Trump is trying to cut those payments; trying to privatize SS, trying to kill Medicare and Medicaid. Why? To give tax savings to his BIG donors! The rich are robbing us blind! FIGHT BACK! VOTE BLUE!

Not entitlement little Mike, it’s you who feel entitled to take our money. But the billionaires get tax breaks so get your money from there cause we ain’t giving you ours. Besides, you and your whinny friends will be destroyed in the midterms so good luck with that. Protector of child fuckers.

So irritating to talk about cuts to "entitlements" like older people are freeloaders. If everyone, meaning the rich, paid their fair share, running out of funds would not be an issue.

Lock, Stock and Barrel..... At the time of muzzle loading guns (for instance, the American Revolution) it was a "Three Step Process to load a rifle.

1. Load in a bullet, with gunpowder behind the bullet load) into the gun.. 2. Using a ramrod (from the muzzle to the shoulder end), compress the powder/shot against the firing pin (with a small cloth to hold the load in front of firing pin. 3. Using the ramrod, pack the 3 piece load tightly. The firing pin has a small piece of FLINT (emits a spark, when struck by the hammer.... which is attached to the trigger.....). BAM! (or WHAM!)
