It figures!<\/p>\n

I decide that I need to retire because what\u2019s the point of continuing to bang my head against the impenetrable wall of automated HR practices and hey, I can actually collect social security.<\/p>\n

It \u00a0isn\u2019t going to be enough for me to keep my house and pay my credit card bills but it will allow mw to have some time to deal with settling my other half’s affairs.<\/p>\n

Turns out that I can still take a part time job (if I can get hired) and as long as I don\u2019t make more than 17K It won\u2019t affect my social security check.<\/p>\n

All is well\u2026 or so I think!<\/p>\n

I just got my first regular SS check. \u201cCool,\u201d I think, \u201cAt least something is working.”<\/p>\n

But then I start hearing about the debt ceiling. Yeah we\u2019ve all heard about this before\u2026 The government is spending more money than they\u2019re taking in and one party or the other party is bitching and whining about money being spent or money not being spent and the national debt.<\/p>\n

I swear to God. I\u2019d really LOVE seeing all those assholes in congress cut off from their wealth for a year. I\u2019d love to see them have to actually live within a real budget, pay their bills like average Americans, and I\u2019d like to see their income for that year be adjusted to the median income that the rest of America has to live within. Oh, and tank their credit ratings and reduce their credit limits.<\/p>\n

I can tell you this, none of them would be living in their fancy Georgetown Apartments or Condos.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, although I guess it\u2019s not so sudden and certainly isn\u2019t surprising given the way this administration has been spending, \u00a0there is the possibility that the government will default on their payments.<\/p>\n

That also means they could decide to default on Social Security checks. I\u2019m thinking if they do, then all bets are off!<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t feel that I have to pay taxes, I don\u2019t feel that I have to answer to those assholes about anything. I\u2019d bet that there\u2019s a lot of other Americans who feel exactly the same way. \u00a0If we\u2019ve learned anything over the past few years it\u2019s that Feelings supplant actual reality and I wonder if the courts would come down on my side or the IRS. Okay I wondered for 1\/2 of a second.<\/p>\n

If I sell this house, I want to fucking REFUSE to pay capital gains. The IRS and the federal government can suck my dick!<\/p>\n

You see if it comes to me eating, or paying taxes\u2026 I\u2019ll \u00a0eat.<\/p>\n

I thought Social Security was our government sponsored and secured retirement savings program. We\u2019ve been forced to pay into it our whole damn working lives. So I think a legitimate question for our lawmakers will be…<\/p>\n

WHERE IS MY MONEY?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amplified by millions and millions of angry citizens.\"JoeBidenDuh\"<\/p>\n

I suppose now we know why the Biden Administration wanted 87,000 armed IRS agents. They plan to rob us at gunpoint.<\/p>\n

The other question I have to ask is this.<\/p>\n

If the US can\u2019t fucking pay their bills or pay the citizens they promised to pay via social security, then how the hell are they expecting to pay for all the folks preparing to cross the border when Title 42 ends?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a legitimate question isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

Somebody is gonna foot the bill.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you what, if the folks swarming the border get food. clothing, medical, and all kinds of services while American retirees are going hungry or without their medications, then I think the government should be called to account.<\/p>\n

If that means dragging Joe Biden\u2019s raggedy ass in front of the Justice Department along with his staff that has led us to this particular disaster then so be it.<\/p>\n

I highly doubt the Justice department will be involved because;<\/p>\n

When Grandma loses her house and dies because she couldn\u2019t afford cat food, her rent, and her medications. When welfare is cut off and folks dependent on those funds to feed their families go hungry… That\u2019s the day when you\u2019ll see a real insurrection, and this time it will be with guns, rocks, bricks, pitchforks, firebombs, and anything else people can get their hands on.<\/p>\n

I strongly suspect that the police, and the military will do nothing to stop it. After all, at that point they\u2019re not being paid either!<\/p>\n

Simply put, on that day the abject failure of our leadership for decades will be laid bare and the American people will not be looking for excuses or platitudes they\u2019re going to be looking for asses to hang on the wall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
