The destruction of social security is underway.

Shrinking staffing by 50% will deprive many of the services they both need and deserve.

I know a lotta you trump guys are retired and on SS. What if the next time you need to speak to someone about a problem with your check the wait time is 20 hours?

How about you folks nearing retirement? SS doesn't just start automatically, you know. Somebody's gotta set it all up. What if that somebody doesn't exist anymore?

This is gonna hurt or kill people.

Social Security Administration could cut up to 50% of its workforce

The Social Security Administration is preparing to lay off at least 7,000 people from its workforce of 60,000.

Is fearmongering all your ilk has? Jeez, it's getting old.

Just repeat after the Red Woman.

Thank God I am not planning on this program existing when I am eligible to draw from it.

The root cause for the downfall of this country will always be greed, and Social Security is like raiding Fort Knox, which Trump and Musk recently visited. Probably wondering where they can stash all their cash.

Yep, we can see that conservatives are getting smart about how to manipulate people into giving up essential services. Same has happened in the UK where for 14 years the Tories managed to steal from the people, and get away with it.

Sounds like very big increase in our Social Security payments
will be coming our way. Shrinking staffing by 50%, should free up a lot of money to redirect straight to our monthly checks (direct depoists).

Now tell us which job specially was eliminated that will result in death

SS runs on autopilot once it starts. I’ve been on it for nearly a decade with no problems.

Besides the ones being fired or who will quit because of increased work levels are deadwood anyway. The vast majority of government office workers just push meaningless paper from their in box to their out box that no ever looks at again.

You worked there and know the in and outs, correct?

Yea, that's gonna happen.

Trump and Musk are looking out for you.

I see no reason to think otherwise.

7,000 is the start. 50% is the target.

Sometimes you have to actually read the linked piece, not just the headline.

You have been extremely fortunate. I have a kid on SSDI and he's had no end of issues.

Nope, but it is a typical federal agency with massive featherbedding and waste.

SSDI is a whole nother animal, it is always under scrutiny because of widespread fraud and abuse.

And yet you go to the same office if there's trouble.

How does a reduction in force necessarily and invariably correlate to degradation in services? What are you basing this on? Does bloat and redundancy make for more efficiency??
