Dummkopf Trumpf intends to pauperize more Americans, this time those with disabilities. 400,000 poor Americans are poised to get their disability benefits cut, as the diabolical Trumpf junta moves to reverse a Biden-era change. This turpitude would hurt low-income and disabled Americans at a time when inflation and idiotic tariffs are driving up the cost of food and shelter; and further cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are coming down the road. The draconian changes involve Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a federal program that provides monthly cash payments to people who are poor and unable to work, typically because they're disabled. Under Dummkopf Trumpf's proposal, people already on food stamps would have their SSI payment cut, because in that's just way too much for poor people to have in their viewpoint.
Often these beneficiaries are older Americans who haven't earned enough during their lifetime to qualify for any meaningful Social Security benefits. The maximum monthly SSI payment is about $900 per month. Recipients can't have more than $2,000 in the bank to qualify. The Trumpf junta has already cut funding for food banks in the US and when the effects of the blasphemous BBB" take effect next year, poor Americans will be driven to a terrible nadir of poverty, much like during the Great Depression. Link: GOP Cruelty. Trumpf junta members and the oligarchs are doing just fine, never having to worry about their housing, unaffordable medical bills, or not getting enough to eat.
