Close to Home by John McPherson for July 27, 2023

John don’t give them any ideas.

facepalm stop giving them ideas >.<

please don’t do that…thank you!

Boy, I can’t wait to get my hands on that stuff.

Yeah, the news on prices…..

When Republicans roamed the Earth…

Sounds fair.

The government should have to take some of its own medicine here.

Let’s see now, who exactly wants to cut Social Security?

See what ya did, John… see!? Ya woke ‘em up!

The government will cut the benefits to include the person pays for the pills.

The plan from the RepubliCONs, that does nothing to decrease any deficit.

Enough already! They’re already jacking us around….

If Social Security crashed, America would go into an economic crisis.

That should be “ the republicans are cutting social security.”

Wait…when did Republican/conservatives win an election?

Thanks John for reminding us who not to vote for.

Big pharmacy is lobbying again.

And free cheese to slow the digestion so you don’t need much to eat…

North Korea. Feed them amphetamines and cigarettes.

Interesting…she says “the government,” but it’s actually the treason boyz and girlz not currently in full power who are the ones who actually made this part of their platform. Nice misdirection there.

HA!!! As if they weren’t planning that already. Remember that “one item per customer”?

They already want us to eat BUGS. That’s pretty good as a suppresant.

The Rs have been fighting a war against the New Deal for the last 90 years and will not give up until they drag us back to the 1820s or are eliminated. Their way of thinking needs to be eliminated.

Does this have any basis? I haven’t heard anything about this. It doesn’t surprise me.

Sure, they want to get rid of Social Security, but it is fine to prop up the corn industry with ethanol subsidies that pollute, take a ton of energy to produce, and ruin our engines. Are these really helping small farmers or just the large corporations that have bought up all the farms.

How many of you are drawing social security?

How thoughtful of them.

Never been food motivated.

Sounds like something Biden would do.

Hi, Bleeb. Still striking out, on the outside looking in.

Too aggravating to be funny. Our fabulous “party of the people” – republicans – have learned calling it “entitlements” will rile up their willfully uninformed, or just stupid, base.

Both parties are full of crap. They act like, “OMG!!!! If the Trust Funds run out of money, seniors and disabled people won’t get paid their benefits.” Yeah, right! If that happened, a big bunch of incumbents will get sent home in a hurry. Yeah, it would be nice if the funds remained self sustaining, but that could be changed without the world coming to an end. And, the arguments against raising, or eliminating, the maximum for income subject to SS tax is just another pile of crap, but that should be no surprise because, like I said, both parties are full of crap.

Laugh while you can.

In a (god forbid) second Trump term . . .

Considering the obesity problem, probly not really a bad idea…

That’s about the size of it.
