And that is where decreased staffing will affect Americans. Decisions are made by computers with you getting no opportunity to provide actual facts.

Try to get someone on the phone and you get “press one for this, two for that……none of which relate to your case.
Send in an appeal and it goes in a Black Hole
Try to get an actual appointment?

DOGE's initiative aims to reduce federal spending by eliminating underutilized assets, including SSA offices. The few I've been to are crowded with immigrants, poor, and elderly people. These are exactly the kind that will have trouble navigating a website and AI.

The way to do that is bring in experts in the field, interview management and employees about why things are done the way they are. Ask what they do that is unnecessary

A Chain Saw does not do that

By all means do that
Examine the workload, mission and organizational structure and rightsize it

Don’t tell me that in six weeks, Musk and his wonderkins have done any detailed organizational analysis. He does not have the subject matter experts to do that.

Where are the detailed analyses done before, or have they not done any?

He is just slashing people arbitrarily without concern for impact on mission

Unless he used previous analyses to jumpstart what he's doing.

Nice try

But even Acting President Musk is not claiming he is doing that
He brags about using a Chainsaw on organizations

With the VA, a detailed analysis was done in response to Vets complaints of poor service.
Congress demanded things be done and new people were hired to provide better service to Vets
Complaints are down

So, he has access to documentation before he even starts, which means he can hit the ground running.

 

[Mac-7]

That takes actual investigation and study of what is needed and what is not. It takes subject matter experts and interviews with management and employees

DOGE is indiscriminately making cuts and claim whatever they cut is “waste”
They can’t claim any realistic investigation in just six weeks

DOGE is not cutting anything

Trump is cutting based on their recommendation

That's too nuanced for the simplistic mind to grok.

How did Musk get access to the documentation of US Government agencies while Biden was still President?

You are making shit up

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report showing that raising the Social Security retirement age —as House Republicans have proposed—would cut benefits.

Nice try to paint this as a republican move but it has overwhelming bipartisan support.
Raising Retirement Age: 75% (Republicans 75%, Democrats 76%) favored gradually raising the retirement age from 67 to 68, eliminating 14% of the shortfall.

Large Majorities of Republicans and Democrats Agree on Steps to Drastically Reduce Social Security Shortfall

The in-depth survey of a representative sample of more than 2,500 registered voters found that large majorities of Republicans and Democrats favored proposals for increasing revenue (increasing taxes on the wealthy, raising the payroll tax) and trimming benefits (raising the retirement age...

It is the GOP that are not yet satisfied: CBO found that raising the retirement age to 69 — as proposed by the Republican Study Committee, the Heritage Foundation, and other Republican groups — would result in an average yearly benefit reduction of about 13 percent for those subject to the full cut.
