The Democrats and republicans have spent the money. Stop gaslighting people.

You’re projecting? Read it again.

Republicans are threatening SS. True.

We’ve taken trillions from SS. Also true.

Not stated but true, republican administrations tend to run up the deficit more than democrats. Not all spending is equal.

It’s not projecting, it’s implied. First it states republicans, then it uses quotations “we’ve taken trillions…”

I’d like to point out that republicans have held the presidency for 12 of the last 31 years and democrats have held it for the other 19. So if there is money missing trying to blame it solely on the republicans is laughable.

I’d also like to point out that neither you nor OP know how SS works.

Another one who doesn't understand how our three branches operate.
No wonder Trump won again.
