Proposal to cut 50% of social security employees

The GOP has actively been trying to get rid of SS for years, lol. What rock have you been living under or are you just being willfully ignorant?

 

I was at Social Security the other day with a young man I mentor. He has a learning disability (he can't read, write, or drive) and a mom with a neurological disease that has taken her eyesight and memory. My hope was that I could get him a little help financially. So far, nothing. While at SS, I never heard English spoken once. Mostly Spanish, but Ukrainian and some Creole kept coming up on the instructions screen.

My guess is that illegals and refugees will no longer get social security or any taxpayer money. The government workforce is bloated due to the amount of people we are writing checks to, and it's coming to an end. I do not know this as a fact, but my guess is this is something that will come out in the next few months.

 

Do you have a link to republicans saying anything like that?

 

Computer power...

Illegal immigrants can't get social security now, can they?

 

Which office do these illegals need to go into to receive benefits?

 

Or maybe it gets real bad and we literally get to do that. The Terror 2.0, featuring MAGA as the main course.

 

Feels dude. It's always feels with these guys.

Let's just say he has a "hunch". I wouldn't expect much more than that.

 

Hard to believe VP Trump had four years to find all this "fraud, waste and abuse" the first time and just missed it...

 

You two should put it in the suggestion box for them to buy some computers.

 

I honestly can't think of any state or federal departments that are understaffed

 

The national park service says hello

 

Lol, do you honestly believe these agencies aren't over staffe?

 

Anyone who works at or visits a VA facility says hello

 

Eh. We have DOGE and some really smart minds that can write the necessary code. It’s not the computers but the coding that likely reduces the need for so many employees.

 

And it's going to get worse thanks to co-President Musk.

 

Certainly there will be opportunities to modernize processes; we already heard the SSA is running an old database and couldn’t get the $9M to update it and now people want to cut their funding? If history is any guide DOGE will not act moderately but immediate without nuance or a long term plan. When I see DOGE talking about a 50% cut my interpretation is they think the current workforce is twiddling its thumbs and they can cut it in half tomorrow. I don’t believe it can happen quickly without a significant deterioration in services and will very likely take a financial commitment to modernize. If DOGE lays out a long term plan to modernize systems and processes that will result in greater efficiencies and savings I’d be 100% on board.

 

High Ender Logic Flexing:

1. "Illegals" are getting all the SS money.
2. Fire all the workers.
3. No one to give the "Illegals" all the SS money.
