Despite Trump Assurances on Sunday, DOGE Heads Musk and Ramaswamy Signal Social Security Cuts Are Coming
Trump vowed to “not cut one penny” from Social Security, but his other statements and actions suggest that he plans to.
Summary
Despite Donald Trump’s promise to avoid Social Security cuts, recent signals from the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, suggest reductions may be forthcoming.
The department, aimed at streamlining federal spending, has sparked concern among advocates worried about potential impacts on the program.
Trump’s mixed messaging and DOGE’s focus on cost-cutting have intensified scrutiny as officials prepare policy recommendations.
You're viewing a single thread.
They can do it and get sued, the fact is people who paid into it expecting to make use of the program were stolen from if they cut it. The govt. needs to stop being a bitch and tax the wealthy.
Imminent domain and civil asset forfeiture are the government stealing your shit and telling you to get fucked. You think it won't be the same for social security?
Yup, it's such a lie that SS and Medicare are socialist "entitlements." We're entitled to them because we fucking paid for them.
Good luck with that under the Orange Idiotn and his shit chugging sycophants. As a disabled person who needs SSDI to live, I'd join that lawsuit in a nanosecond.
I just hope they do it fast enough for my parents to feel the acute effects.
