The question is, do Trump and the Musk-rats WANT to break Social Security to create a pretext for turning its operations over to the private sector. Private equity and tech bro types are already swarming around.

They have sabotaged it. For what purpose we don’t know. But Lutnick did get a huge fine for, checks notes, money laundering and illegal gambling. Is the plan to launder our money to some other place and then gamble it away? Why would they be so obsessed with it?
They want to kill people. They have raped our 401k’s and now they plan on doing the same with social security, medicaid etc. They want the poor to die of starvation, the mentally challenged and sick to cease to exist. We are ALL losers and suckers
It's safe to say they want to break SS, BUT one possible reason has yet to be covered . They have laid breadcrumbs they intend to avoid, and in some way, stop paying some or all the $3T the government owes SS. If that happens, the recent stock market decline will look like a financial footnote.
I watch the House and the Senate as offen as I can stand. It has been my impression the plan is to privatize all government functions. Which makes no sense because you are just adding another layer of cost to everything. Government is not a business. It's not supposed to make a profit.
time is running out
a full-scale military coup now
to round up cultists into cages [like done with immigrants], take all their assets, and deport to a strange country
[Gaza] to fend for themselves
Musk's super programmers seem to develop official websites just as amateurishly as they build Tesla software.
But they're not great developers, more like crash kids.
Private Equity will fail to promote the rule of 100-minus-your-age long-term savings rule designed to guard against investment risk in retirement. For example, if you’re 60, that means you should have only 40% of your retirement portfolio in stocks, with the rest in bonds, money market accounts.
Forbes magazine reported 40.2% of SS recipients only have SS payments in retirement. In other words, they have no experience with investing in the markets.
STOP THEM DO UR JOBS @schumer.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov get some decent GOP lawmakers - & take effective action & stop this! DO YOUR JOBS FOR GOD'S SAKE do you understand this is on you?! @aoc.bsky.social @smith.senate.gov get to court for an injunction @algreen.house.gov
Thank you for the musing now DO YOUR JOB - protect soc. sec. exactly as it is. Don't ask questions YOU TELL US the ACTIONS you & your fellow lawmakers are taking to protect Social Security exactly as it is @schumer.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @algreen.house.gov
they want to privatize it like they've been telling us for decades, yes. The dead people who are no longer needing benefits is just a cherry on top to these freaks
@whitehouse.senate.gov your job is not reporting, although that is important - WITH the reporting must be the additional, further reporting of the actions you are taking to protect & preserve Soc. Sec., Medicare & Medicaid AND restore funding for kids lunches @schumer.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov
that part!! I'm tired of the people in power who are pretending to be shocked, and I'm tired of them asking questions about the intentions behind this garbage. They really gotta stop being fake flabbergasted and DO SOMETHING already!!!
It is a great question, but can we ask it using a paper that didn't publicly cower to this regime? Sources matter, cultural influences matter, and I'd imagine they matter a great deal to your constituents at this moment. Something to be mindful of 💪
We have seen this happen in Germany by the way. Our banks were looking for ways to make more money, then the gov defunded the retirement fond and suggested additional retirement plans with insurance companies - banks. Now our retirement for, like, Millenials is a mere joke.
Republicans won’t run things forever. Democrats can undo this. Or regulate the hell out of it when they’re in control again. With penalties. Start banging some drums.
Senator, I am scared. I am now getting emails telling me to verify my account. Last week I couldn’t get into my account and had to log in using a new log in. I have had this account for 6 years. Never had a problem before DOGE..
They are sabotaging it. I thought that AARP was supposed to represent Seniors, but so far they’ve sent out a few emails and that’s about it. There needs to be a Seniors organization that does something besides sell insurance policies. Every senior I know would join in a heartbeat. Grassroots!!
Frank Bisignano is a private equity vulture. Trump (I believe) chose him for that reason. He specializes in cutting staff to the bone, closing offices everywhere, and demanding the remaining employees make it work. IMO, they are trying to break it so they can say, "It doesn't work", then privatize.
Why isn’t there more reporting about this? How private equity stripped hospitals, sold the land so they would have to pay rent, and bankrupted them - after they took the money for themselves. Now communities are left without hospitals.
Bingo, turning all our tax dollars into their profit. It will cost twice as much and we'll get less service. If we don't get these oligarth out of there we're going to be paying a huge price.
There is no question. They WILL do it. Just management fees/commissions alone will make a few dozen moron nephews very wealthy.
And ALL the funds will be directed to crypto, where they can dissolve into cyberspace.
Exposing a sinister motive helps in the campaign to garner support for action, yes. But as DOGE is already breaking the successful function of SSA, we citizens are enraged & need action. We already sense that privatization degrades institutions even further. We need proactive guardrails, thanks!
How do we stop them ??? Bought a copy of The Declaration of Independence and Constitution at Barnes & Noble today, to learn more about who’s got what power ..lots of folks checking out the history section …I’ll have to read more

Shelley, quit dicking around and find a way to kill those Nazis like we did in WWII.
We all know that answer is yes. We knew that answer a month ago.
The real question is, what is Congress doing to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid?
Send them and their leader to San Salvador.
I don't want anybody touching it
what the fuck are you doing?
