Follow DemLabs on our NEW social media! How many disabled Americans will lose their Social Security to pay for the Republican tax cut for billionaire Marc Andreessen? We did the math. Social Security Disability, a Protection for Some Workers, Is at a Crossroads. The benefits provide important economic support for older people who cannot work. — NY Times Marc Andreessen net worth = $2,000,000,000 ($2 billion) Republican cumulative tax cut for billionaires = 6% Benefit for Andreessen = $120,000,000 ($2 billion x 6%) Average Social Security disability payment per year = $50,000 How many disabled Americans will lose their social security to pay for Andreessen’s tax cut = $120 million / $50,000 = 2,400 disabled Americans (approximate calculation) Use this infographic to follow the Republican scheme, this interactive map to see who’ll be hurt. Republican work requirements restrict Social Security Socialism for the rich and free enterprise for the poor “The Republican Party decries the bureaucratic state and how burdensome it is, and regulations and all that—but work and training requirements create a huge bureaucracy that enriches private contractors while subjecting people who already have a lot on their plate to mountains of paperwork. Michael Harrington had this phrase in The Other America: socialism for the rich and free enterprise for the poor. I feel it’s like, the deregulation of the rich and regulation of the poor. These administrative burdens are pushed down on families that have the least resources.” — Mother Jones See where cuts will hurt the most and the MAGA rep for that district House Republicans’ Work Requirements “Are Not About Work” “There’s certainly little evidence that work requirements achieve their goal… If their goal is to push needy people off the rolls, then sure. And if the goal is to reduce the deficit—and the debt-ceiling bill has a bunch of provisions that would do the opposite—there are ways to do it that don’t target and scapegoat America’s most vulnerable.  18,000 people lost their health insurance When Arkansas imposed work requirements on Medicaid in 2018, I believe 18,000 people lost their health insurance and the state did not witness any growth in employment. Work requirements are not about work; they’re about a commitment by the modern Republican Party to harm the poor, really. It’s hard to say it any other way. If we’re going to balance the budget and tackle the deficit, why is it always the poor who have to pay that price, especially given all the tax avoidance and shenanigans that we experience today?” — Mother Jones Republican attempt to slash social-welfare “The Republican Party does not want all working, low-income Americans to enjoy public health insurance and nutritional aid. Their aim is not merely to strip welfare from the idle poor but to slash social-welfare spending in general. They are quite explicit about this intention. Work requirements allow them to make progress on this objective precisely because such rules reliably deny benefits to the working Americans who comprise the vast majority of prime-age social-welfare recipients. What’s more, the policy enables the GOP to slash aid to such beneficiaries in a politically palatable way.” — NY Mag Trump plan would limit disability benefits for older Americans by eliminating age as a factor in deciding whether someone is capable of working. — Washington Post “The GOP’s Work-Requirement Scam” — NY Mag Republicans are preparing a plan that would make it harder for older Americans to qualify for Social Security disability payments, part of an overhaul of the federal safety net for poor, older and disabled people that could result in hundreds of thousands of people losing benefits… — Washington Post A recent paper that if the proposed rule reduced eligibility for the disability program by 10 percent, 750,000 fewer people would receive benefits for all or part of the next decade. In addition, 80,000 fewer widows and children would receive benefits because of the loss in eligibility of a spouse or parent. That would lead to $82 billion less paid out in benefits over 10 years, estimated Jack Smalligan, a senior policy fellow at the Urban Institute and a former Office of Management and Budget official through five administrations. — Washington Post TakeAway: Hold Republicans accountable for slashing Social Security to pay for their tax cuts for billionaire donors like Marc Andreessen.
