Musk's war on Social Security unmasks the GOP's true disdain for retirees

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

It is not.

It most surely it is.

 

[konradv]

I haven’t read it. No candidate ran on implementing it, so it’s not a relevant source of political info or insight.

Trump ran on it. There’s video.

 

[Orangecat]

It’s the basis of the Trump administration.

Straw man much?

 

[Orangecat]

Trump ran on it. There’s video.

Post a link to it.

 

[Darkwind]

It most surely it is.

It definitely is not.

 

[konradv]

Post a link to it.

Trump’s praised the Heritage Foundation and their work for years. Project 2025 IS their work.

Again, link to the video you claimed exists where “Trump ran on it. There’s video”.

Trump ran on it. There’s video.

You can’t, because you’re gaslighting (lying).

 

[LeftofLeft]

Since I've been paying attention to politics, you loons have been claiming Republicans were going to do away with Social Security. Hasn't happened yet, why do you continue to lie?

Ask Democrats to cease with Federal tax on SS Income and then we find out how much Democrats love retirees.

You would get 95% support.

The problem is that most of the Pubs and a good minority of the dems don't want to do that.

 

[Zincwarrior]

There is no war on SS. No person in the United States will have their benefits altered in any way.

Sure.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Who is using Proj 2025 for anything? Other than the left trying to make into a boogieman.

Project 25 is the new Q….BOO!

Seniors and retirees have zero net drain on the economy. That's a fact that many will dispute. But they can't dispute it.

‘"We worked our entire life," one panicked retiree declared at Huizenga's most recent town hall, held via teleconference. "But we can’t get any help because we can’t get through to anybody." The former teacher was featured in an Associated Press report from the weekend detailing how angry and frightened Social Security recipients are storming town halls, begging their congressional representatives to stop Musk's misnamed DOGE from taking away their benefits. Donald Trump won this part of the state with over 60% of the vote, but now voters are begging their Republican representative to save them from the consequences of their electoral choices.

As the New York Times reported Monday, Musk's DOGE "has taken its chain saw to the agency’s operations," trying to institute mass layoffs and office closures, which "could create gaping holes in the agency’s infrastructure, destabilizing the program." There have even been efforts to destroy the phone service that allows beneficiaries to call the Social Security Administration for help. On Monday, Popular Info released a leaked memo from Trump's management to Social Security workers, detailing how the administration is well aware that the planned cuts will dramatically increase "demand for office appointments" — even as Musk is shutting down offices, making those appointments even harder to secure. The result, according to Trump's own appointees, will be "service disruption," and "delayed processing" of payments to retirees.

Musk frames retired people in parasitical terms, not seeing them as those who have paid their dues and have earned their reward. In light of that, when he speaks of "waste" in Social Security, he's hinting at this broader view that retired people are inherently illegitimate. While he couches language like "vampire" and "fraud" in false claims that he's talking about illegal payments, the accumulated impact of his rhetoric is to demonize elderly people as a useless burden on society. When the end goal is "efficiency," it's easy to get to this view that retired people are an "inefficiency" and "redundancy" that should no longer be funded.

The ugly attitude towards elderly people is an inevitable result of the profoundly anti-human views and ideology of Musk and his compatriots in the tech billionaire world. Tech journalist Kara Swisher, who has covered Musk for decades now, explained to the New York Times that the billionaire views himself as "the person who matters the most," and that "everybody else is an N.P.C. — a nonplayer character," which is video game slang for preprogrammed characters in a video game.’

"Vampires": Musk's war on Social Security is fueled by Republicans' vi

Terms like "fraud," "scam," and "definitely dead" are how the DOGE leader demonizes elderly people

And it not just retired Americans, Trump and Musk demonstrate their contempt and disregard for disabled Americans and minor children.

Are you paid by Democrats to be a propagandist?

Every one of your threads has the same story.

Trump Bad. Musk Bad.

Copy and paste the words and just change the issue.

Clayton the story is a lie. Since you've posted it on this forum, you're a liar too.
