Will you be privatizing retirement and disability benefits? If so, please provide your plan and timeline. Are you discussing with Wall Street and any Financial Institutions plans to privatize retirement benefits? If so, please provide detail on these discussions. Are you discussing with current SSA leadership or any outside parties privatization of any or all of the SSA disability determination process? If so, please provide detail on these discussions. Have you received guidance from the Whitehouse, DOGE or Musk on privatization of SSA retirement and/or disability benefits? If so, please elaborate on that guidance.
There are no secrets here. There have always been just two stated objectives: 1. shrink the bureaucracy, and 2. privatize Social Security. More important questions might be, what data has DOGE secured to valuate the future Social Security Trust Fund in a Sovereign Wealth Fund that would be administered by a decentralized network of financial institutions, not unlike the states' 529s. Or, what steps is DOGE taking to break the agency in advance of a budget showdown where no budget is passed, the agency fails (IT systems, Operations, massive Restructuring without a plan) only to have private entities (Valor Ventures) swoop in to "save" Social Security. Maybe there's a line of questioning in there somewhere..
Pocahontas embarrasses herself yet again. Very dumb questions and he'll easily shoot down the false reports that originated in the comments of this blog that SSA is cutting 50% of the workforce.

I won’t be surprised when he refuses to reply to that letter
I like your questions better.
Nor would I. Modus operandi.
He’s going to lie just like all of Trump’s other appointees so this won’t make a difference. No one in Trump’s administration has any integrity.
Q: What does S-S-I stand for?
