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.

    Go ahead. Fuck with people’s money, or expectations of money. See how far that gets you. Culture wars are one thing, and don’t affect everyone, but cold hard cash is very real to most people. I fucking dare them.

        Hey if I’m dying in a gutter I’ll have nothing left to lose. Just like Mr. Adjuster.
