Letter to the editor: Republicans are not going to end Social Security

Posted

The Democrats want to scare people into believing the Republicans want to end Social Security by opposing the raising of the national debt limit. Ask yourself a simple question. What do you think will cause bankruptcy faster, sticking to a budget, or continuing to borrow money? 

The Republicans want to control out-of-control spending and force the government to deal with the debt while functioning within the budget. Democrats, however, want to keep borrowing money and waste it on their failed agenda which directly caused rampant inflation, and high fuel, energy, and food costs. 

Let us make no mistake that the inflation caused by the Democrats with their bad policies, woke agenda, and wasteful legislative actions has harmed Social Security and Medicare more than anything the Republicans “might” ever do. I say “might,” because the Democrats always say that the Republicans are going to do “something” to Social Security every election which of course never happens.

Counter that with the fact that the Democrats have done everything they can every year to change how inflation is calculated thus cheating Social Security recipients out of a fair cost of living increases year after year. The Republicans didn’t do that, the Democrats did.

Democrats are currently attempting to redefine the meaning of inflation in order to hide from it. Nancy Pelosi, Democrat speaker of the House, recently said to a CBS reporter, “The fight is not about inflation. It’s about the cost of living.” Someone should advise her the cost of living is all about inflation.



We shouldn’t allow ourselves to be fooled by the Democrats any longer. The Democrats have dedicated themselves to perpetually lying to us as they use bogus studies, falsified documents, out-of-context statistics, outright lies, and of course, fake news to back up their propaganda. Nor should we trust anything the dishonest media tells us because they are not about telling us the truth, but rather addicting us to outrage and fear so we’ll keep watching.

We all can see the truth, and the truth is, what the Democrats have done to our nation with their woke agenda, wasteful legislative actions, and green policies will take years, if not decades to fix.

That said, we cannot expect a miracle fix from the Republicans. The damage caused by the Democrats over the last few years is going to take much longer than a couple of years to undo. We need to tune out the dishonest media and focus on making our nation healthier. The best way to do that is to vote out the Democrats and keep them out of power while forcing the Republicans to focus on what is important. This will, hopefully, afford “we the people” the time needed to undo all the damage caused by the Democrats.
