Social Security payments are deposited, as if by magic, in our checking account. When they arrive, we make a mortgage payment and a car payment. Other SS recipients have a different date for that direct deposit, and some still get checks in the mail.
For most Social Security recipients, like us, those payments are an essential part of our budget.
What if they stopped coming? What if Republicans got their way and altered the way Social Security is done? They'd like to do just that. If they could, they'd stop those deposits, leaving millions of Americans wondering how they would survive. Some wouldn't survive at all.
If anyone thinks it doesn't matter whether Democrats or Republicans are the majority in Congress and in the White House, think again. It matters. It matters very, very much.
If you think it doesn't matter to you, you're wrong about that, too. Think about it.
