That exact comment would be at home in a letter to the editor in response to an article in any newspaper, in any year, for the past 80 years. And on any discussion board from the earliest days of the internet until now.

I'm not going to make any assumptions about your age or the length of time you've paid attention to these issues, but if it's only been a decade or so, you should start seeing the pattern soon. It won't even be at the last minute, it'll just keep slowly moving out so it's always 10-15 years away. Don't let them scare you into helping them do what they've been trying for 88 years.

This program has kept a lot of elderly and disabled people out of poverty. Don't let them take it.
