'Bloodbath': Social Security Administration Begins Mass Firings | Common Dreams
What is being described as a "total annihilation" of SSA, say critics, proves that Trump's promises to protect Social Security "are a sham."
I work with two people that are within a year of retiring and they are absolutely ecstatic that Trump was doing this to Social Security, as well I work with people that are in their early 20s that are exactly the same happy that this is happening and thinking that they will all become super wealthy.
My redneck trailer cock American family has absolutely nothing saved for retirement, but they think that social security tax took all of their money and gave it to people who are cheating the system pretending to be disabled
Employer and employee both have to pay 6.2%, wanna bet they eliminate the employers portion?
Wanna bet my salary doesn't go up 6.2% when they do that?
like alot of sketchy companies, employers will just eliminate some of thier employees even more to give them selves more money, and just squeeze out the skeleton crew for alot tech, biotech, and health
The American Prospect, which first reported earlier this week that Acting SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek was weighing staff cuts of up to 50%
Congratulations protest non voters, this is what you voted for.
alot of MAGA are stupid enough to believe hes just joking on what hes going to do, besides the bigotry.
My nice but moronic neighbor is one of those "but he just talks a lot of shit, he won't do that" types. Surprise: he does talk a lot of shit and he's increasingly doing that shit too.
100% agree, and they need to never be allowed to forget this.
And blaming the voters still isn't the energy you want.
So you assume to know what others want? Because I’m right there with them. Non protest/non-voters absolutely helped to put us here. There is nothing at all wrong with pointing this out.
And as John Lydon would say: Anger is an energy.
And I believe that anger’s best use now is ensuring that the fucking assholes that did this are called out and learn from it so that if god-forbid we happen to find ourselves here again, they’ll acutely get off their assed and fucking help.
So, when Social Security gets gutted, we’re all getting the money we put in back, right? …right?!
Every American should file for a refund of all the SS taxes they paid when they do their income taxes next year. With the gutting of the IRS on top of SS, they’ll probably accept those claims without question and accept those refunds.
Nope.
:(
Musk has been spouting how Social Security is a scam and how tariffs will make up for it. Basically, kiss your social security pension away and just hope a substitute pops up - although it will likely be in the form of "get a check if you don't criticize us" now. DOGE is an excuse to Big Data everything from every department and process it through AI, including knowing your political association.
and just hope a substitute pops up
I have equal confidence in a trump designed Social Security replacement as the healthcare replacement trump came up with to replace Obamacare (ACA).
Hilarious.
“Social security is a scam” = “I’m taking your retirement money for myself”
“Tariffs will make up for it” = “As a bonus fuck you, 20% tax on everything you need to survive”
Buy the ticket, take the ride
