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.

    Agreed. I’ve watched donvict nearly my entire life. I remember this asshat back in the 80s and thought he was a scumbag dipshit back then. The idea that any people my age - Gen X - and younger voted for that POS sickens me.

    I think I now realize how boomers that were in the know about Ronnie Raygun watching that dipshit get two terms felt. Whole lotta dumbfucks voted for that asshole, too. Only historians will be able to tell which one did longer term damage. We have donvict only because of the dumpster fire that Ronnie Raygun started…
