"I’ve had a sr. friend ask me whether Trump will really cut SS, based on the
news she’s seen on TV."

I'm a senior qualified to receive social security after four plus decades working
in the private sector.

My last two payments have arrived on time, no disruptions.

I would advise your friend to turn off msnbc, cnn, abc, nbc, or any of the
other mainstream propaganda spewing media.

Musk should continue to shout it out. Cut the crap and cost of living increases might go up. Those opposing must benefit from the waste.

Everyone knows it’s a Ponzi scheme.

There is a LOT more to take care of before SS gets straightened out, so keeping focus might be a good thing in meantime.

Gotta have nothing but wins up to mid-terms, and then take a solid unshakeable majority in both houses. That’s only way much of the executive orders are going to get solidified in law.

If I had the pulpit, I would consistently bring up the problem of taxes on SS.

Reduce, or eliminate, the taxes on SS. That will always be a winner.

difficult and time-consuming to address problems related to benefit claims.

What a joke. Has this writer EVER tried to deal with the SSA? Of course not.

The ship "Difficult and Time Consuming" sailed years ago.

The proper response to the “Musk wants to destroy Social Security!” should be: “No, the ones who want to destroy Social Security are the ones who have been draining the trust fund via fraud for decades.”

Tell her to stick with Newsmax, QVC and the Food Channel. She should know by now that the “news” is garbage propaganda. Cheese and crackers when will people wake up to this?!

It doesn’t matter. Apparently people like it. If we can win more seats by getting rid of social security then do it.

When the UNI-PARTY tells you that there is nothing behind the green curtain, OF COURSE there is something behind the curtain.

Remember that Musk is a pretty smart fellow.

A low information youngster who I work with has been brainwashed by the ‘rat talking points. I heard his conversations with other employees who had opposing points of view. Sheesh, some people you just cannot talk to. It’s sad

Senate Republicans want Elon Musk to stop talking about Social Security, and the Department of Government Efficiency to leave it alone.

LOL, at least The Hill wants us to think so, and cower in FEAR.

Sheesh. I guess that's because SSI, Medicare, and Medicaid are where the real money is being flushed. Hence finding that fraud is essential if we're going to get out of this multi-trillion dollar snare.

Of course, everyone has and will receive their payments.

But telling a “super-senior” to end a decades-after-decades-long TV habit is likely to yield limited results.
