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.

        It is funny how when Trump took office the first time, riding Obamas economy, he took credit for it. Now with his words he has started the downward trend of the stock market and now it is Bidens fault, Bidens economy.

        As for the people that will be affected by the SS not coming, they will believe what they are told to believe.

          Those old people homes would suddenly get much further out of reach for many families. Pull up your bootstraps at 84 and go get a job or your going to jail for being homeless.
