They are for it. Remember all the protests to ACA it was all conservatives. They don't want a handout and would rather suffer. But they also want fellow citizens to suffer with them for their poor choices.

speaking as someone who will never get to enjoy those benefits by the time i hit 65, i would very much enjoy not having to pay thousands of dollars into them anymore.

of course, if i stopped having to pay into those programs, im gonna go out on a limb and guess that money won't magically start reappearing in my paycheck. im sure theyll find some way to put it into the defense budget.

Well good thing Biden didn't say that. He said some in the republican party wanted to do it, and even said it was a minority of them.

I believe they are able to sleep at night because there is literally nothing in their skulls that resembles a brain. They literally have 0 thoughts to keep them awake. Their laser focus on Woke barely constitutes as a lizard brain.

I've voted republican only three times, despite the aforementioned deep Reagan-Thatcherism, and I only regret that third time.

Sure, you can directly point at Reagan's tenure and then see income inequality and cost of living and university costs and debt as percent of GDP and family income levels start skyrocketing.

Among a couple dozen other things.

But sure, Ronnie wasn't a corporate rat fucking you over for a dime. You got it, cap'n.
