Looming cuts across the board for SSA beneficiaries is a reality unless Congress acts. This is the public’s new reality since Congress has overlooked the trust fund solvency issue for decades. We live in a different world with AI, low birth rates and a bad economy.
Social Security is barreling toward a 24% across-the-board benefit cut in 2032 that would slash roughly $500 a month from the average retiree’s check — a hit that totals about $345 billion a year nationwide, according to a first-of-its-kind report from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a Washington fiscal watchdog. Yet as that fiscal cliff draws closer, the Trump administration is simultaneously pushing Wall Street-style Trump Accounts and quietly reshaping the Social Security Administration in ways that already make it harder for millions to access disability benefits.

OGC is quietly hiring new attorneys because the administration fired or badgered far too many into leaving, and it’s impossible to keep up with litigation at current staffing levels. They have to hire discreetly to avoid drawing too much attention to their incompetence in “right-sizing” the workforce.
