Trump Admin Threatens to Shut Down Social Security Over DOGE Ruling I say "Do it" ... let all this old dummies who voted for Trump see what they really voted for. It will be fixed by the time I'm ready to collect... “My anti-fraud team would be DOGE affiliates. My IT staff would be DOGE affiliates,” Dudek said in remarks published by Bloomberg. “As it stands, I will follow [the judge’s order] exactly and terminate access by all SSA employees to our IT systems.”
https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/21/us/ned-johnson-declared-dead-social-security-doge/index.html On a related note, the SSA under DOGEs control is already cutting off living people from benefits, claiming they are actually dead.
Non paywalled version ... Not only did Musk stop his benefits, but he also stole $5200 out of his bank account. Seattle man wrongly declared dead loses Social Security benefits amid DOGE cost-cutting
It's happen before although very rarely. Thanks to co-President Musk and DOGE it will happen on a scale like we've never seen before (using a phrase favored by nominal President Trump).
This guy is serious, did an interview yesterday and said -- from his very in touch Billionaire perspective -- that when he cuts everyone off from their earned benefits, only the fraudsters would complain... Again, I hope he does it. Wouldn't hurt me at all, but these elderly fools make up a large part of Trump's base. "Let's say Social Security didn't send out their checks this month — my mother-in-law, who's 94, she wouldn't call and complain. She just wouldn't," Lutnick told All-In Podcast hosts David Friedberg and Chamath Palihapitiya on Thursday. "She'd think something got messed up, and she'll get it next month." "A fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screaming, yelling, and complaining," he added. "Anybody who's been in the payment system and the processes, who knows the easiest way to find the fraudster is to stop payments and listen because whoever screams is the one stealing."

It’s the taxpayer’s money. Both parties have robbed the kitty and stuffed it will zero and low interest IOU’s. Gore’s Lockbox sounds pretty damn good now.
Trump's / Musk's Social Security Administration makes grifting easier, accessing your benefits harder. All pronouncements from SSA will now be done on Musk's "X" platform. Grandma doesn't know how to use "X"? Grandma's gonna die. Social Security Administration ‘will be using X to communicate’ moving forward
