    It’s surprising that 2000 retired people who have nothing else to do would have time to go out and protest something that could impact their social security ?

    Are the democrats still scaring seniors that the republicans are going to end social security?

    Actually musk said what they’re doing out loud.

    “Most of the federal spending is entitlements,” Musk told the Fox Business Network. “That’s the big one to eliminate.”

    He was directly referring to social security?

    I just provided a quote where it’s actually Musk who could “scare seniors”.

    Here is more of the full quote. People can watch and decide for themselves when he says “That’s the big one to eliminate”. (SS is one of our big entitlements programs )

    Trumps new billionaire SSA leader literally said he might stop sending checks, and only the fraudsters would complain if he did… these new Trump people are so out of touch with America… but if you are going to say stuff like that, expect a response…

    I can't listen right now but, if he actually said he wanted to eliminate SS, why isn't CNN, MSNBC and the rest all over it?

    No, but there are going to be many more incidents similar to this:
    Seattle man wrongly declared dead loses Social Security benefits amid DOGE cost-cutting
    And if it happens the victim is going to be an even deeper excrement than otherwise thanks to closing of dozens if not hundreds of social security field offices and the firing of thousands of social security employees.

    So, the government is going to start making mistakes because of Trump?
