Donald Trump Is Wrecking Social Security Harming The American Economy And GOP Doesn’t Care At AllThe Washington Post has a disturbing story that should give every true American pause. While the Trump Administration is distracting you by giving Russia secrets, it’s destablizing the very core of the American Economy, and only for more psychological control over the people.America has let a rogue group into the White House that really does not like America. There’s no other way to explain what is happening. These were not campaign promises the President said he was going to do; he said the opposite on the campaign trail.But Elon Musk is hurting Social Security:Lines at your local Social Security office are about to get a lot longer — if it survives a wave of closures brought on by funding cuts under the Trump administration.And the Social Security field offices that do stay open are in for a flood of visitors after the short-staffed government agency limited phone service for beneficiaries. That might be bad news for elderly Americans relying on Social Security checks without reliable transportation or internet.In a memo obtained by Business Insider, Acting Deputy Commissioner for Operations Doris Diaz told SSA staff on March 13 that recent reductions in phone service could lead 75,000 to 85,000 additional visitors a week to show up at local field offices in order to file Social Security claims. The memo came before the agency announced it was changing its identity-proofing procedures in an effort to reduce fraud risk, which will, in part, require some beneficiaries who cannot use online systems to come into field offices to confirm their identities.“It’s going to further strain people’s ability to access their earned benefits,” Kathleen Romig, the director of Social Security and disability policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said. The agency already had an average call wait time of one hour and 44 minutes in February 2025 and received an average of around 307,000 calls.BI has heard from nearly 4,000 older adults in recent months, many of whom don’t have adequate retirement savings and rely on their monthly checks to afford essentials like housing, groceries, and healthcare. Some retirees told BI that they are anxious about the impact that federal funding cuts will have on their monthly checks.The overall impact on the American Economy is dire. Spending by consumers, including those elderly drawing social security from their hard-earned income, drives the American economy. Only an idiot would not see that, but we have that kind of person in charge of America right now. It’s time to call it that way.We need to take some kind of legal punative action to stop this behavior. Before it’s too late. via IFTTTNote from Oakland News Now Blog, Zennie62 YouTube, and Zennie62Media: this Oakland News Online Blog video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018, originally on Zennie62Media , Inc.’s Oakland News Now.
