I hear complaints about the minimum wage. I hear complaints that the Social Security COLA is too low. I hear the Trump administration is anti-union, and complaints about health care costs.
All those laws passed by those leftist Democrats who had the nerve to put the American people before gold decor in the Oval Office and somehow muddled through without a grand ballroom or cement garden.
Let’s get back to basics and consider where we would be without the Social Security Act. The Fair Labor Standards Act, the National Labor Relations Act and the Medicare and Medicaid Acts ….
And those Democrats had approval ratings the highest and most stable in modern political history – peaking at 84%.
Imagine a country that instead of demonizing fellow citizens and creating an environment pitting citizen against citizen with misinformation and lies we actually worked for the common good.
That goal is on hold the next 3-1/2 years.
QUINNSCOMMENTARY 
The 1930s were a different era for America. The Social Security Act was overwhelmingly favored by Republican representatives and I suspect the other bills were also. Medicare and Medicaid was a different time but still very different than today.
The programs brought the US to a more modern era for support of various segments of population but paying for the programs has proven to be the problem. To say this is all Democratic Party goodness is not accurate.
What Trump does or doesn’t do is all on him.

Not saying all goodness. Saying Americans benefit from and depend on many pieces of legislation passed by Democratic administrations. And that the derogatory leftist, socialist label is ridiculous in 2025. I doubt even the extreme right would be happy seeing those laws reversed.

“Let’s get back to basics and consider where we would be without the Social Security Act. The Fair Labor Standards Act, the National Labor Relations Act and the Medicare and Medicaid Acts ….”
As Milton Friedman might say:
One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.

When a man spends his own money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about how much he spends and how he spends it. When a man spends his own money to buy something for someone else, he is still very careful about how much he spends, but somewhat less what he spends it on. When a man spends someone else’s money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about what he buys, but doesn’t care at all how much he spends. And when a man spends someone else’s money on someone else, he does’t care how much he spends or what he spends it on. And that’s government for you.
Whatever those programs once were, more recent amendments and iterations, as well as more recent legislation (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Inflation Reduction Act, etc.) are little more than vote buying.
At best, they are today’s version of Wimpy – “Gladly tax others tomorrow, to give you free stuff today.”

Yes, as should any reasonable person with even a minimum of common sense and at least average IQ. Can you not see his irrational behavior, bullying, inability to plan or answer reasonable questions and his constant documented lying? Surely you must be aware of all that.
