within one year of the GOP traitortrump tax bill implementation.
And it will be because of the bill.
Some here will die when ACA is destroyed. Many will be homeless because of just ACA, not to mention the devastating cuts to the system that keeps many of us alive.
In 10 years or less Medicare will be a voucher that ultimately puts at least half of our elderly in the streets.
This is happening, not maybe, not IF something else happens.
HAPPENING
But sure,. as bad as all this is it has to be better than ....oops, I cant mention that without getting in trouble
ps
If trump has to go the day AFTER this passes because his treason is exposed, the GOP wont care anymore. They want rich people richer and the rest of us so fucking poor voting is the LAST thing on our minds. And they are gonna get it.
I will GLADLY admit I am wrong if it doesnt happen. But if it does, some folks out there will NEVER be forgiven NEVER

(51,430 posts)bankruptcy and/or no health care.Have you called the senators on "the list" yet? Get to it...We are out of time.
Here is a list of who to call, how to get addresses, phone numbers, a nd a link about the Tax Scam. There are scripts to read when you call as well as a list of protest events in your home zip code, and a lot of of other useful info. THANKS! Resist!
Here is my list to call and share with others as well as
A great link...RESIST! Peace.
Call all of them. All the numbers start with (202)224-****
Corker (TN) 3344
McCain (AZ) 2235
Flake (AZ) 4535
Collins ( ME)2523
Heller (NV)6244
Murkowski (AK)6665
Moran (KS)6521
Johnson(WI)5323
Young (IN)5623
Call them all. If you go to Zillow for the individual STATE you can get a local address and zip to use in case the senator's phone staffer needs validation that you are a voting constituent. It works and they NEVER check. I have done it with over 400 calls in the past year. It literally takes two minutes to Google Zillow. Your phone area code doesn't matter due to cell phones. Tell them a personal story. Also, here is a useful link to share...

(11,686 posts)other public services I can guarantee I will be homeless. I am not so fragile right now that I will die right away. I do not know how long I could last out in the cold without shelter but I know it will eventually come. I should not worry about myself though as there are children and whole families who will suffer the same as I would. I am 50 and disabled and really have nothing to offer society but there are people who are young and have a lot to offer that are going to suffer and they should not.

(11,686 posts)If the poor are no longer around who is going to do all of the crappy work? It can't be the middle class because then they will be poor and have to be exterminated also and it goes on.

(31,097 posts)But if the sanctions go into place, and Vlad gets pissed, anything is possible.
He has more money than any person alive because he stole it from his people the way he will be taking all of our money soon, but if he cant spent it, I hear he gets pissy.

(86,054 posts)I became homeless back in May. My job didn't get funded this year so my housing went away, couldn't find another job that would accommodate my ailing, aging body. At least I can still use medicaid for now.
