The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel does excellent work covering the perfidy and disingenuousness of Republicans. Especially, the galling faux folksome populists of obscenely rich Millionaires who pretend to regular hardscrabble joes but are rapacious rich assholes who enrich themselves via taxpayer dollars.
The multi-millionaire Oshkosh Republican on May 3 repaid himself $400,000 for prior loans to his campaigns, according to documents filed with the Federal Elections Commission. Those payments from his campaign account included$210,000 in loans to his 2010 campaign and $190,000 in loans he made to his 2016 campaign.
By the way this is totally legal as the Supremacist Court ruled in Ted Cruz's favor in 2022 that campaign donations belong to the candidate; Russia if you're listening...
Despicably at the same time Ron Johnson is sending out emails begging for campaign donations;
"I’ll get straight to the point: even though we won, my campaign had to take on some debt. I was hoping I could convince you to chip in now to help me pay off this debt."
He has the utter gall, the absolute temerity to say this, during a July 12 Senate hearing on Social Security,
"When I talk to Wisconsinites, they just have a basic misperception about Social Security. I mean, I think this was originally sold as, okay, we are going to as a nanny state, we're going to make sure that you are gonna have money for retirement. So we're gonna extract wages or taxes from your wages and we're gonna set up an account for you so that we're going to save it for you for your retirement cause we don't trust you to save for yourself. So most people think, well, that's my money, and in fact, a part of it is. But as Senator Grassley was talking about, if you're in a low-income group, you're getting a lot more in return than you ever invested in."
"Again, on the lower end of the income scale, you're getting a lot more than what you paid in, if you're in the high income, you're not getting what you paid in. And wasn't that sort of the deal? This was not a general welfare system. This was really designed, we're gonna make you save for your retirement and then you're gonna get back what you paid in."
Rich assholes are absolutely incensed that a meager social safety net exists. How dare you have the chance to not work yourself to death. How dare you poor people get a little bit of money to retire and rest. How dare you get a couple bucks more when you are old. The! Rich! Want! That Fucking Money! As soon as Republicans have enough control of the Federal Government they will raise the age for Social Security benefits, reduce the amount the Zoomers and Millenials can draw in their lifetime and ensconce other mechanisms into Law to ensure that one day very soon Social Security will be gone. House sQueaker and Major Traitor Greene paramour Kevin McCarthy said this himself this week,
“This isn’t the end… We only got to look at 11% of the budget to find these cuts. It’s Medicare, Social Security, interest on the debt.”
Bemoaning the Corporate Media is such a stupid very on-line hole I've dug myself into and yet here I am again, wondering why President Biden isn't being lauded for using the State of the Union to call out Republican Plans to Swindle Americans out of Social Security and why "Journalists" aren't apologizing for listening to Major Traitor Greene as she screamed "Liar" on the House Floor?
Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson is fabulously wealthy. He and other Rich people are fed up with America. Republicans are not only coming to steal social security, they are coming for everything won during the last 100 years. Bodily autonomy, reproductive rights and freedom, worker safety, child labor laws, Republicans are fighting a War on all Americans to End the American Dream and reduce you to wage slavery and perpetual corporate bondage.
