Segments of the GOP have been opposed to SSI since day 1. This segment has total control of the party today and is pressing forward its 80+ yr. animus towards any form of SSI.

The system is so rigged for these same people that they can push through this type of destructive policy even when the majority of Americans like something. SSI has been literally a godsend for people, most would have nothing in their senior years otherwise. I don't have to explain it. What I particularly hate is the notion that these same GOPers use over and over to equate SSI with an entitlement. SSI is not an entitlement, it is a mandated retirement account, end of story.
