Just a reminder that the two most powerful people in the U.S. are openly scheming to steal people's SS checks.

A theft that will leave millions of people destitute and homeless.

Not new news, but still.

I have seen people posting here ridiculing the idea and saying it isn't happening or won't happen.

4. The shenanagans of Trump & Musk

The comments above are horribly correct! These two con artists are actually engineering a takeover of the economy of the United States. The reality is that Musk is using Trump to reach his inevitable aim to get the treasury to hand him taxpayers money that normally is used to fund the daily operations of all the departments of the US. By firing most of the employees, by getting Trump to remove or cancel the many checks and balances in place to watchdog bank, institutions, and even the disbursements of government funds, Musk can then install his own staff, who will do his beck and call and never reveal any questionable diversion of funds away from it's intended use. The slight of hand routine, Trump loudly blabbing and carrying on, while Musk hides out in the background to do his "dirty deeds", is working out, especially when those who should be yelling and screaming in indignation (Our Beloved SILENT Democratic Party) is basically handing it over on a silver platter. This online forum should be filled with angry Democrats, calling for their Democratic leaders to get off their collective asses and start doing something!
