SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY

I am deeply alarmed about DOGE’s plans to cut roughly 7,000 workers from Social Security. It’s horrifying. I also heard that the entire Office of Transformation has already been dissolved, as well as the entire Office of Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity. And so much more. These attacks on Social Security are outrageous. The agency reportedly already has massive backlogs of cases at the hearing level. This threatens benefits for new enrollees and possibly for existing ones (although those systems are more automated). This is money these people have paid into all their lives and are entitled to. The loss of it may lead - almost certainly will lead! - to suffering and even death for people who need that income, for which they (or in some cases their spouse) paid during their career. This is not okay and I am angry. If someone I love loses Social Security or has services interrupted because of these staffing cuts I will be incandescent - and make no mistake, MANY Americans will be. Stop Musk now. Get him out of our government or force him to submit to massive Congressional oversight. He’s destroying what you all have built. Thanks.
