Why does Donald Trump want to take away Social Security from elderly people?

Why do billionaires need to take money away from Grandmas and Grandpas?

[OneViewpoint]

The Social Security assets are a huge treasure, about $3 trillion, that the 1% have wanted to get their claws on forever. They want it "privatized" so they can plunder it legally by taking advantage of unsophisticated seniors in mental decline.

That's it. It's another wealth heist by the rich to give to the rich.

To give it to his criminal buddies on Wall Street so they can buy a 4th home.

democrats have been trotting out the same lie over and over again. Nobody takes it seriously and nobody sees the democrats as a serious organization. They really have become a public embarrassment and a joke.

Making the system unworkable is one way he's already stealing money from people who have earned it.

@goaded The system is working just fine. Better in fact. I live in a state where if you get a pension from a government entity , even though you may have worked enough quarters to qualify for Social Security, your benefits will be cut by 40%. I fall into this category. This practice was repealed recently and i was amazed how fast and how efficiently I received my increase.

You're not talking about the federal SSA, which is what Trump's undermining.

@goaded Yes, I am one of the people who was affected by the Windfall Elimination Act (WEP). It was repealed last year and i recently got a good increase in my social security and there was a retro active payment i also received. It took about three months from th time it was repealed to get the refund.

Who was president three months ago?

You know that's a Biden law, and the implementation would have been before Musk and Trump started undermining the SSA, right?

[exitseven]

@goaded it was signed into law by Biden but Trump was president when it actually went into effect on Jan 1st. I just got the increase a few weeks ago

[goaded]

So, which president was responsible for your extra income?

[exitseven]

@goaded the point is that the Social Security Admin is not compromised due to layoffs. I expected this to drag on for months, instead it took two months. Is anything, Social Security is working better than ecver

[goaded]

No, your point is that the Social Security Admin was not compromised when you needed it, but that was implementing a Biden era law and before Musk got his hands on it.

@goaded The checks were processed while Elon was doing his investigation. The fake news is screaming that nobody is answering the phone and nothing is getting done. I am giving an example of just the opposite.

[goaded]

They ran the program that was set up earlier and it worked? Have you tried phoning the SSA? Probably not, because you got what you wanted before things got screwed up.

Maybe your local office made the cut and hasn't been closed. That doesn't mean it hasn't happened to other people.

It's horrible! 300 year olds depend on that social security.

Because it's been spent on Ukraine
