1. Idiot is one district away from me

What an asshole.

[Trueblue1968]

31. Lets "French Revolution" .... A La Louis & Marie Antoinette of France.

[Aristus]

2. He said the quiet part out loud.

Republicans want us to work ourselves to death. There's the plantation mentality right there.

[slightlv]

18. I don't think they care one way or another how we "Off" ourselves,

just as long as they can grab that big pot of money! That's all they want. Geesh! I'd love to see my hubs who can't remember five minutes later what he did five minutes ago back in the workforce. Talk about screwing up a company! (LOL) I love him dearly, but it's getting to be more of a caretaker role the longer we go on. Is he advocating for on-site caretakers in the work places? And of course, with Disability and the ACA and ADA on the rocks, those of us seniors who are dealing with chronic conditions are truly just taking up breaking space.

I want ALL these idiots who think, act, and talk like this to experience their own words. Let this guy try to find a job, not on the government tit, while dealing with age discrimination and body breakdowns and memory problems. Make it so, so he can experience the worst of it without having to wait until he actually hits the age of "elderly."

Wonder if any country in the world would take in our elderly as refugees when they start doing this kind of thing. 4 trillion dollars isn't enough of a tax break for them. They simply want it all.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

3. What an asswipe... Collins can go ESAD!!

[allegorical oracle]

4. Had the misfortune during federal disasters to work with his dad who was a Ga. congressman.

The family's assholery runs deep and is apparently a genetic trait.

[kimbutgar]

5. This needs to be in ads and advertising billboards all over his district and flyers in all senior communities

[BidenRocks]

6. With no SS and no fucks to give

I will pack my weapons and go all 2nd amendment on your ass.
I am old so life in prison doesn't matter.
If they kill me, they did that when they killed SS.

Millions of retired Veterans and Seniors will be with me.
How brave are you Collins?
Got that life insurance paid up?
FAFO!

[Ilsa]

21. Sometimes I think about

taking one for the team, but I'm really lousy with "sports equipment."

[Irish_Dem]

26. Prison would give us food, shelter, clothing.

This is more than the GOP wants us to have.

[BidenRocks]

30. Plus medical care and meds for free!

Let's play!

[hamsterjill]

33. I feel the same way. I worked all my life and was finally just able to retire a few months before full retirement age.

If I'm going to starve to death, then I have nothing more to lose.

[milestogo]

7. Talk about moral poverty.

Stealing something that we have paid into all of our lives is pure theft and serves nothing but Republican greed.

[Rebl2]

9. Exactly

Republicans better watch their step or there will be no republicans in congress sooner than later.

[soldierant]

8. He obviously thinks that is his money.

It isn't. It's ours. We paid into it for decades. We are just now getting that debt repaid back to us. Aren't Republicans still against debt forgiveness?

[GoCubsGo]

10. Somebody needs to remind this ignorant motherfucker that Social Security

IS OUR FUCKING MONEY. We paid into it. It is not a goddamn handout. Sweet Jeezus, I hate these fucking assholes.

[czarjak]

11. The Sean Hannity Strategy

"Work hard, play by the rules, and, you too can be a success in America."
Said the guy that got rich sitting behind a microphone spewing BS. Just like Rushbo did.

[John1956PA]

19. Hannity bragged he was such a devout Catholic until he no longer was.

He left the Catholic Church when he deserted his wife for a fellow-wealthy conservative media personality. They brag how sanctified their marriage is.

Not a hypocrite much, eh?

[czarjak]

22. Pence was raised Catholic too.

Evangelical now though. And Evangelicals hate Catholics. I know, I was raised one. Hypocrisy. On both sides.

[orangecrush]

12. Try it

[Jack Valentino]

13. Another GIFT for Democrats???? !!!!!! I think we should spread Congressman Collins' words

FAR AND WIDE!!!!


I presume he'd at least like "work requirements" for those who have retired....

[keep_left]

14. I've said it here before, and I'll say it again...

...these people are just asking for it.

Piling additional stress and strain onto what we are already facing is objectively evil. And they just can't seem to help themselves.

And they keep it up, even after events like the recent Saturday Night Live episode where the mere mention of Luigi Mangione's name drew raucous cheering from the audience.

15. Young kids looking for jobs

But let’s throw old people out there to compete.

Collins is an absolute idiot.

[Warpy]

16. Gramps needs to be kickedout of office

so maybe HE can go out and get a job. He might be able to run a gas kiosk on graveyard shift as long as it's card only and he can't fuck up the change.

[Karasu]

17. Get back into the workforce they're wiping out by refusing to let states regulate AI if they want federal funding for

for fucking anything? Fucking why? What would the point be? Are you fascists trying to make everyone slaves for life or replace everyone with technology?

MAKE. UP. YOUR. FUCKING. MINDS.

Motherfucking hypocritical idiots.

[Ilsa]

20. Hey, Mikey: Let's let a 70 year old nurse perform

CPR on you or your wife when you're dying, okay? Oh, you'd rather have a nurse who can keep up with the "Stayin' alive, stayin' alive" chest compressions tempo beyond 30 seconds? (I'm in my sixties and my tempo would be more like LZ's "Stairway To Heaven.&quot

Let's let the young people who want to work, who are starting out, have these jobs, maybe your job, Mikey.

[BidenRocks]

32. Would that be the first half

or the second?

[Ilsa]

35. definitely the beginning! :-) nt

[Cha]

23. Fry in Hell, MIke Collins GFY!

[lonely bird]

24. If Collins is concerned about spending

Cancel his salary, clawback whatever he has been paid so far and cancel his government healthcare.

[calimary]

25. That BASTARD!!!

How’d he like it if HE were told “hey, you lazy old moocher! You want to eat??? Go get a JOB!!!”

He’d squeal in over-dramatic anguish if that were HIS fate, too.

[Irish_Dem]

27. We have become a nation of psychopaths.

[Picaro]

28. I'm always amazed at the simple viciousness of these asshats

Seriously.

Do the fucking math moron. If you remove the money that Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid pump into the economy each year we would instantly fall into severe recession and probably into a depression.

The billionaires can’t drive a consumer economy now any more than the millionaires in the early 30’s could drive the US economy.

What a rabid airhead.

[johnnyfins]

29. Right. Fuck your retirement and go back to work

Dumb Arrogant Dickhead

[Morbius]

34. I don't suppose this idiot thought far enough to consider

...that the jobs he wants these seniors to do will not be available for younger folks who have children to feed.

Oh, the stupid. It burns.

[Demovictory9]

36. idiot
