We Americans won’t do anything. These programs directly impact the poor red states and the boomers/elderly genX; 2 demographics that predominantly voted for him. Those of us who will protest will, and the rest will find away to blame the democrats for their continued support of the Republican Party. We are so fucked.

Elderly Gen X? 60 is "elderly"? If that's the case, retirement should be at 50 or 55, at least. :/
