24. They'll try to make cuts in Medicare, Medicaid, & Social Security because
those who depend on these aren't wealthy enough or young enough to include them on their perpetual campaigning radar. Bullies pick on the weaker.

And they will try to raise the retirement age to 70 -- those who do manual labor & depend on the strength of their bodies to bring home a paycheck will be damned; when their bodies can no longer perform the work 10 years or more before they can retire, will their unemployment checks continue before their retirement pension takes effect?

What a mess.
