Naw I think you are right. I went and read the CBO's letter about the bill and it's actually not bad...I think this was a bi-partisan bill as well...Think that video is inaccurate....

Long-Term Effects of H.R. 82, the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023​

The Congressional Budget Office was asked to provide information about how enacting H.R. 82, the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023, would affect the finances of the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund and the finances of that fund combined with the Disability Insurance (DI) Trust Fund over the next 75 years, 2024 to 2098.
H.R. 82 would eliminate the windfall elimination provision (WEP) and the government pension offset (GPO). The WEP reduces benefits for retired or disabled workers who have fewer than 30 years of significant earnings from employment covered by Social Security if they also receive pensions on the basis of noncovered employment. The GPO reduces the spousal or surviving spousal benefits of people who receive pensions on the basis of noncovered employment.
CBO’s analysis shows that the elimination of the WEP and GPO, as specified in H.R. 82, would permanently increase outlays for scheduled Social Security benefits—that is, the amounts that the program would pay if it continued to pay benefits as scheduled under current law, regardless of whether the program’s two trust funds had sufficient balances to cover those payments. That increase in Social Security benefits would drive the program’s spending even further above its revenues than it is already projected to be under current law.
CBO also estimated the effects of H.R. 82 on payable Social Security benefits. Payable benefits are the benefits that the program could provide if its outlays were limited to the amounts that could be funded by its annual revenues after the exhaustion of the trust fund balances.

Appreciate the fact check. Yup, it was in fact was a bipartisan bill that both sides agreed on. They sneakily put it on the floor on election night though, when no one was around to contest it and ended up in situ. They’re gonna vote on it again and the only hurdle I see is that ginormous $196 billion price tag over ten years.

We’ll see how this one plays out but I don’t think it’s the doom and gloom social media made it out to be. This disinformation era is wild on both sides.

The ACA and related policies are some of the only things keeping some of my friends alive. So when I talk about looking after my people, and when I talk about what these people voted for (and against), that's why I get in my feelings.

Hell, the ACA is bare minimum standard, and they won't even stop trying to take that from people.

This....It's sad bro.....

That's why I am waiting to see who he names over HHS and CMS.....That will be very telling...

Seema Verma was head of CMS in his first administration and she was not radicle like some of the names I am hearing floated around....Very reasonable....

Trump didn't really gain amongst any group....

Not Latino men

Not black men

Not white women

He got a larger percentage of them because Kamala's people stayed home.

She had 10million less votes then Biden did

Trump had basically the same 75 million that he had in 2020.

the pop vote doesnt really matter...its possible to win the pop vote and still lose the electoral

Certified results in all 50 states and the District of Columbia show Clinton winning nearly 65,844,610 million votes — 48 percent __ to Trump’s 62,979,636 million votes __ 46 percent — according to an analysis by The Associated Press.

Its definitely disproportionate and heavily one sided, no question but that doesn’t excuse liberals from knee jerk reacting to shit at times either.

I’d say it’s about 99%-1% on average..

:lol:

It is ESSENTIAL that you all watch this movie and pass it along and tell others on your social media to pass it on. It was released on Sept 5, 2025 and tells just how this election was stolen.





Greg Palast is known for his investigative reports for The Guardian, BBC Television, Rolling Stone and his string of New York Times bestsellers including The Best Democracy Money Can Buy and Billionaires & Ballot Bandits.

His latest film, “Vigilantes INC.: America’s New Vote Suppression Hitmen” is narrated by Rosario Dawson and produced by Martin Sheen and George DiCaprio.


“Doggedly independent, undaunted by power. [Palast’s] stories bite, they’re so relevant they threaten to alter history.” — Chicago Tribune​



“The most important investigative reporter or our time,
up there with Woodward and Bernstein” – The Guardian

“Greg Palast is one of those inconveniently stubborn journalists who gets his teeth into a story and shakes it bloody right there in the middle of the parlor. Palast [has] dropped a bomb into the elections that has left credibility shrapnel all over the democratic process, if anyone cares to look for it..” – Esquire

“An American hero,” says Martin Luther King III

“A cross between Seymour Hersh and Jack Kerouac.” – Buzzflash Chronicle

Wrong. Without blue states some of the red states would be poorer than some African countries.

Several states that typically vote Republican (“red states”) receive more in federal funding than they contribute in federal taxes. This indicates a net positive balance, meaning they are subsidized by the federal government. According to a 2024 analysis by MoneyGeek, the following red states are among the most federally dependent:

1.West Virginia: Receives $2.91 for every dollar paid in federal taxes.

2.Alaska: Receives $2.65 per dollar.

3.Mississippi: Receives $2.66 per dollar.

4.Alabama: Receives $1.90 per dollar.

5.Kentucky: Receives $1.68 per dollar.

6.Arizona: Receives $1.62 per dollar.

7.Montana: Receives $1.43 per dollar.

These figures highlight the extent to which these states rely on federal funding relative to their tax contributions.
