How the Trump Administration is destroying social security.

[initforme]

Social security is probably the greatest thing this nation has ever implemented. Irrefutable.

There are too many people depending on social security and medicare. Trump would be vanquished if he messed with it.

65 million people with pitchforks, torches, and ARs can be difficult to deal with at times.

Holes in the agency's infrastructure? You gotta be kidding. The entire federal government has been like swiss cheese for the last four years. It's time for government employees to put in a 40 hour week like everyone else.

….in recent weeks, the Trump administration, led by Elon Musk’s crew of cost cutters at the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, has taken its chain saw to the agency’s operations. The agency has announced plans to cut up to 12 percent of its work force, at a time its staffing is at a 50-year low. It has also offeredearly retirement and other incentives, including payments up to $25,000, to the entire staff.

Many current and former Social Security officials fear the cuts could create gaping holes in the agency’s infrastructure, destabilizing the program, which keeps millions of people out of poverty and large percentages of retirees rely on for the bulk of their income.

The actions have caused Social Security employees and former commissioners and executives of both parties to sound alarm bells, saying it would be difficult to repair the damage, which could threaten access to benefits…

Everything they have done so far is breaking the agency’s ability to serve the public,” said Martin O’Malley, the most recent former Social Security commissioner under President Joseph R. Biden Jr. He said he feared that Mr. Musk’s team had taken most of the actions necessary to create a total system collapse, whether in skyrocketing wait times for customer service, system interruptions or a timely payment of benefits.

Social Security Employees Warn of Damage From DOGE

Current and former employees, both Republican and Democratic, are raising alarms about the damage cost-cutting efforts could do to the agency’s ability to serve the public.

This is the way Trump will destroy social security: by a thousand cuts. They will make it functionally inoperable

Only a fool thinks Trump is not out to destroy to Medicare. Medicaid and social security.
