The worst president this country has ever had. One of the worst people in the world .

And not for lack of competition.

Slayers of Social Security: Rep. Sam Johnson and other Republicans like Paul Ryan want to gut safety net for older Americans - Salon 

I’ve always believed a sound metric of the goodness of a society is how it treats its old people. The Republicans are going to try to pull off the scam of the century, robbing old people of their dignity. 

Uncle Sam wants you! Not the symbolic Uncle Sam, but Sam Johnson. A do nothing member of Congress more than a quarter of a century. But look out! Johnson has suddenly leapt into action. And we all need to take notice, because this Texas Republican has unveiled what he calls his “Plan to Permanently Save Social Security (SS).”

To get you to support the plan, Uncle Sam wants you to believe the LIE that SS is  “going bankrupt.” He knows that’s a lie, but he hopes it’s a big enough lie to panic you into doing anything to save the program. Then to make his particular plan easy to swallow, he coats it with another lie, claiming that he’s merely “modernizing,” “updating” and “ensuring” the benefits and solvency of the Social Security program, which a big majority of Americans count on to avoid living out their golden years in stark poverty.

In fact, conniving old Uncle Sam’s plan is to “save” Social Security by gutting it. The congressman’s press release announcing his “reform act” doesn’t mention that it’s entirely a scam, based on making workers keep paying the same 12.4 percent tax on their wages, but receiving drastically less paid back to them when they retire. How much less? It would range from about 20 percent less to 69 percent less, adding up to a total cut of 11.6 trillion in promised benefits to America’s workers.

Entitlements? Social Security isn’t a welfare program. Regular working people pay a large percentage on every dime of their wages into the Social Security pension fund year after year. They earn their retirement! Morality? Social Security embodies America’s core moral value of fairness and our society’s commitment to the common good. And it works. Before it was enacted, half of all American’s spent their “golden years” in poverty. Social Security has saved the great majority of us from old-age penury. Where is the morality in taking this earned retirement and modicum of dignity from millions?

Yet, Ryan wonders why Congress’ public approval rating is plummeting toward single digits. But, the religious right, primarily, keeps voting them into office (with the help of gerrymandering)

Republikkkan Congressmen and Congresswomen celebrating that they just left 17 million Americans without healthcare. To the rhythm of YMCA.

And it's not the only horror that The Big Ugly Bill contains.

These people are no longer Americans.

These people are no longer HUMAN.

They are the Nazis of the 21st century and we have them here governing our country and rejoicing in their cruelty.

Today we celebrate our Independence Day. It's a good time to remember how we got there.

Republicans are evil and want to destroy democracy to gain complete control of the country. The sooner that party is crushed and flushed down the toilet, the better for us all.
