Biden says Trump administration has ‘done so much damage’ since taking office
The Hill ^ | 4/15/25 | Julia Mueller

Posted on 04/16/2025 2:37:41 AM PDT by Libloather

Former President Biden said the Trump administration has “done so much damage and so much destruction” since taking office, accusing the White House of having “taken a hatchet” to the Social Security Administration (SSA) and “breaking things” as he delivered his first remarks since leaving the Oval Office earlier this year.

“Fewer than 100 days, this new administration has made so much — done so much damage and so much destruction. It’s kind of breathtaking it could happen that soon,” Biden said at the national conference of Advocates, Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled (ACRD) in Chicago.

“They’ve taken a hatchet to the Social Security Administration,” Biden said. “7000 employees — 7000 — out the door in that time, including the most seasoned officials. … Already we can see the effects.”

The speech, Biden’s first major remarks since he handed control of the White House over to President Trump, comes amid fears from Democrats that Trump’s attempts to crack down on government bureaucracy and spending could ultimately damage Social Security and hurt the tens of millions of Americans who receive the benefits.

The SSA has planned significant workforce reductions, and the agency faces a lawsuit over access by the Department of Government Efficiency, led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, to millions of Americans’ personal data stored in SSA systems.

Biden on Tuesday touted his own work on Social Security, the government program he called “a sacred promise,” without directly name-dropping his successor — but he took swipes at Republicans in Congress and the administration more broadly as he sounded alarm bells.

“Why are these guys taking aim at Social Security now? They’re following that old line from tech startups. The quote is, ‘Move fast, break things.’ They’re certainly breaking things. They’re shooting first and aiming later,” Biden said.

Criminals always blame their loss of their stolen properties on the law enforcement officials. The leader of the biden crime family has spoken, proving his criminal status.

I listened to about seven minutes of his speech - not sure what the function was.

Was this per Democrat Party, or per Doctor Jill.

Either way, did not make much sense.

“The Rat’s go to is always the GOP is taking away SS. Always.”

That’s a fact. Ever since I can remember the RATs have been trying to scare the seniors by using this. Do they think the seniors are so demented that they would fall for it, since it hasn’t EVER happened?

Yet they continue with the lie.

I guess from his speech, he’s seeing a lot more colored people now that he’s left office

He's certainly seeing a lot more of one colored person—even in his dreams.

And this person is Orange.

“Damage!”

My deposit came in as it always does.

So did my wife’s.

I expect my future deposits to be a little bit bigger after the WF&A (Waste, Fraud & Abuse) is cleared up by DOGE.

That’s “damage” I can live with.

How would Biden possibly know that? He wasn’t even running the country and the signature machine was hard at work.

Whey aren’t the handlers and those responsible for this treason in jail yet?
