2. Well, I'm on Medicaid--- so I won't actually lose insurance until the end of the year

at the age of 64, because of Trump's "Big Bastard Bill" and 'work requirements'
which I don't expect to be able to fulfill, and even if I did---
the required 20 hours would put me over the income limits,
so I will LOSE those benefits even if I DID "get back to work, old man!"

since I decided to take a small Social Security benefit at age 62,
also taking my SNAP benefits into account in that decision--- just before the anti-christ took office---
since I never suspected that THOSE benefits would be cut off
(but guess I SHOULD have, considering GQP ideology!)


Trump and the Republicans are kicking undocumented labor out of the country,
and are attempting to replace that labor with 'old people'---
some of them have even SAID that specifically---!

thus raising the age for 'work requirements' for SNAP and MEDICAID
from age 54 to age 64, in their 'big beautiful BASTARD bill'
while they instead give welfare to Billionaires!!!!


FRANCE had the right idea 1789-1793-ish
