Summary
Former Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley warns that staffing and funding cuts under Elon Musk could cause Social Security payments to halt within 30 to 90 days.
The SSA is reducing its workforce and closing offices, prompting concerns from Democrats, who accuse the Trump administration of trying to dismantle the program.
O’Malley predicts a major political backlash if payments are interrupted.
Meanwhile, leadership changes at SSA have added further instability, with no confirmed commissioner in place.
If it’s any consolation, they’re inviting leopards inside their own homes while doing so.
You would
absolutely notbe surprised how many Trump supporters rely on some form of welfare like disability or child benefits. As usual, those complaining about the others taking advantage of the system are either projecting, trying to reduce competition in the hopes that they get a bigger slice of the pie, or both.They are morons. Plain and simple.
When I was still on facebook, they announced on the school page they were ending the free lunch program started during the COVID pandemic because the Republicans at the state level ended the program.
Those that yelled the loudest? The poor (whose kids got at least 1 good meal a day out of this) who voted for Republicans. Some people don’t learn until they get punched in the nuts.
Unless they’re no longer voting for Republicans then they didn’t learn anything. My own experience tells me that is unlikely.
