Why is the Biden Admin Ignoring the Social Security Pensioners While Giving Money Freely to Illegals and Unions

Title: Why is the Biden Admin Ignoring the Social Security Pensioners While Giving Money Freely to Illegals and Unions

The Biden Administration is flooding the United States with unvetted illegals, inhumanely flooding cities, schools and other resources. Additionally, Biden is buying the votes of college loan debtors and now rail workers while negotiating secret deals. At the same time the Biden Admin is severely underestimating the rage of the retired and retiring blue collar workers on Social Security. With a huge, enraged voting block of 69.1 million people receiving benefits from programs administered by the Social Security Administration ( SSA ) in 2019, the Biden Admin will see this overlooked, huge populace make a statement thru voting in the midterms and 2024. Sadly, the military hating Biden admin has abandoned disabled veterans as well by not increasing Social Security pay and V.A. disability. Again, with a fairly sizeable voting block of Nearly 3.9 million veterans (19.5%) receiving disability compensation, this overlooked group will speak at the voting booth as well. It is truly sad that the United States, under the Biden Administration, military disabled veterans and social security pensioners dont mean anything to them since most are not in the workforce anymore. It's like the Biden Administration feels this large group of voters (and families) are meaningless after they have served their purpose. It is horrible and a huge humanitarian crisis to ignore our once hardworking and loyal workforce. The Biden Admin needs to start looking out for the best interest of Americans ...especially those trying to survive on Social Security. These groups need to stand together and make their voice clear thru voting.
