You are not paying attention.  The just passed big ugly bill cuts
a half-trillion dollars from  medicare.  Not to mention the gutting
of medicaid, which will cause many rural hospitals to close outright.

Not gonna happen, just wishful thinking on your part.  Three million
people a year are joining Medicare (the last of the baby boomers),
65 million or so at the moment, and one million a year are leaving.
That is a huge voting block.  And seniors vote in the USA.

     They only rob from the poores to give to the richest in our new
Gilded Age.

Sorry but no.  Trump is trying to fix the sins of the last 30 years but
I do not think that they are fixable.  Congress is trying to spend even
more money than we don't have.

If he were doing /that/, he would be insisting on taxing the rich to
reduce the National Debt. And shore up Social Security.

But he is doing the opposite. And the Republicans are using their
control of Congress to support him in this.

Bad times are coming.  There is a documentary already written about the
economic collapse of the USA: "The Mandibles: A Family, 2029-2047" by
Lionel Shriver

The disaster starts in 2029.  Yup, just under four years from now.
Better have a plan.

And 100 years since the Crash.

Let me guess: after a Depression, war breaks out in Europe and East
Asia, and the US digs itself out of the hole by joining in to help the
good guys win it. Sounds familiar.

OK, that doesn't match the Amazon description. The only problem with
accepting the description is that yesterday I rented a movie
/PSYCHO-PASS: Providence (Original Japanese Version)/
<https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DWZFH1YT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_d_asin_title_318_o02?ie=UTF8&psc=1>
whose Amazon description was for some other movie, not the one I saw.
IMDb
<https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26224944/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_1_nm_0_in_0_q_PSYCHO-PASS%253A%2520Providence%2520(Original%2520Japa>
describes what I saw. So Amazon descriptions are now ... questionable.

But if it's well-written, it may still be worth looking at.
