For What It’s Worth

      For what it’s worth, the White House is apparently denying that it intends to make any changes in Social Security.

Yes, the famously honest White House

Charles, you sound like the corporate media. You should call ball and strikes and state the obvious. This administrations word means nothing.

For what is worth, I think somebody got a complaint from someone in this administration. 🤔

If this plan is extremely well publicized I think there could be a populist groundswell of folks over fifty throwing a fit about this, irregardless of party affiliation. This is going to pound the high school only and less white rural red state MAGA base fifty and overthe President says he loves so much. This is clearly breaking his promise to not cut Social Security. The megaphones must come out and the public educated on this.

The job market for new graduates is dead. Can’t imagine how bad it must be for people fifty and up. The people behind Project 2025 are the true Deep State. A hand full of billionaires and their political lackeys defying democracy and shoving their policies down our throats. Total contempt for the will and well being of the American People!

Yeah, sure. And everyone should totally trust him, just like when he said he was going to fire people during the shutdown, or when he said Project 2025 had nothing to do with his plans.

You can’t trust a pathologically lying TACO with dementia.

Advocates should remind this administration there is no bigger MAGA than paying US Citizens down on their luck and health. Far better than paying illegals or more foreign aid to Ukraine and Israel.

This‘ll be really helpful combined with his administration’s goal of funneling most of the population into hard labor and factory work.

Enjoy your future of abject poverty and misery, MAGAs. I got mine, so f**k you and f**k your feelings, right?

Par for the course from the liars in the White House. Every word out of their mouths is a lie including the "and's" and "but's"!

The same white house that’s planning to refuse to pay furloughed employees despite an unambiguous law stating they shall be paid, and despite issuing guidance saying they would receive back pay just days ago? Yeah I would totally trust them.

Oh, and I hope you MAGAs are happy to know your dear leader will be kicking you in the balls one more time while you’re functionally unemployed, just because he feels like he can.

Someone should show the White House the OMB unified agenda, which has a list of changes SSA is planning to make. They aren't necessarily all bad changes (I'm hopeful about the one on dedicated accounts) but they contradict the idea that Social Security policy will stay exactly the same.

The NPRM and implementation plans exist. Whether they decide to move forward on it after bad press may change, but how could you believe them?

Sure, but by "Social Security" he means the REAL Social Security, aka retirement benefits. Not disability, aka some sort of socialism cooked up by the radical left.

Exactly. He's never said anything good about disabilities. Also, he never has anything nice to say about disabled people (only to make fun of them and keep them away from him because "it looks bad"). The silence on SSDI is LOUD.

Disability requirements are statutory requirements and require Congress not the WH

This isn't really true. The Act is surprisingly sparse on specifics. A lot of damage can be done with rulemaking.
