Trump to retirees: drop dead. He declared he will permanently end Social Security and Medicare by eliminating their funding. #SaveSocialSecurity

[Mike @LibraryTalkNE]

People on unemployment likely won’t get any benefits from Trump plan for months because 50 states all have to waste time and money creating a new program from scratch to administer it #LibraryLayoffs
