There is literally *nothing* more important for the Senate to debate and ultimately pass right now than the SAVE America Act.

Everything else pales in comparison.

It's time to recognize that prices have essentially doubled since 2019, regardless of what the CPI says. Construct an index based on actual prices without myriad adjustments and this is what it shows. Now think about your income with a 50% loss of purchasing power.

@ZeekArkham Respect.

To everyone who…
Puts the cart back, smiles at strangers, lets others go first, shows real empathy, listens to understand, is kind to animals, notices the little things, offers help, checks if people are okay, sends the “Did you make it home?” text, and feels for those who are hurting.
Thank you. The world needs more of you. 🙏🏻

HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS.

Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.
Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed.

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets.

1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary],

2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if you’re self-employed],

3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible]

4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent]

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed].

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following.

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US

AND MY FAVORITE:

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?

A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments!

The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!

Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!

And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!

If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though.

Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so but it’s worth a try.

How many people can YOU send this to?

Gen Z cracks me up. They're generally so health conscious that they're afraid pastrami will give them cancer, but their information diet is pure slop that gives them basically every mind virus and intellectual cancer you can imagine, and they're proud of it.

Denmark has introduced a wonderful initiative that converts old buses into mobile grocery stores, specially designed to serve elderly residents in rural and remote areas.

These repurposed buses are fully equipped with wheelchair ramps, heating and air-conditioning systems, refrigerators, and shelves stocked with fresh local produce, dairy, and baked goods. They follow fixed routes and schedules, bringing essential groceries directly to seniors who may find it difficult to travel to regular supermarkets.

Beyond providing practical access to food, the service helps older adults maintain their independence while offering valuable social interaction for those who might otherwise feel isolated. The mobile stores have become a thoughtful and effective solution for supporting aging communities.
