The dumbest thing may be to threaten the lifelines, healthcare and pensions of working-class folks in this term.

This not only affects the 70 million people accessing their benefits, but it also affects their families and their communities as well.

This is not an issue where any Americans, even MAGA, can smugly say "That will only hurt THOSE PEOPLE, not me and MY PEOPLE."
