Trump memo reveals plan to throw Social Security into chaos
Summary
An internal Social Security Administration memo from March 13 reveals plans to require internet identity verification for phone benefit claims, forcing those unable to use online systems to visit physical offices.
The memo, authored by acting Deputy Commissioner Doris Diaz, estimates 75,000-85,000 people would need in-person visits despite month-long wait times and office closures.
This change would severely impact the 40% of beneficiaries who rely on phone service.
Meanwhile, the agency is cutting 7,000 employees (12% of staff) and closing offices. The memo acknowledges these changes will cause "service disruption," "operational strain," and "budget shortfalls."

I really really want to see how this would play out. If we're going to go down let's at least see the republicans who voted for this go down with us.
I mean if democracy is restored by pissed off octogenarians I'm in.
America needs something better than the ponzi scheme (sorry comrades, the Muskrat did not come up with this criticism, but is just using it to destroy it senselessly) that is social security but Trump’s idea to destroy Social Security, pocket the money, and flip off the poor is not helping.
Oh for fuck’s sake. Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme. Would people stop with that bullshit already?
Raise the fucking cap then, its not hard to fix you people just dont want to fucking do it, youd rather seniors starve and die.
