So, did you ge the latest Social Security e-blast?

Received yesterday to commemorate SS turning 90.

Just...barfy. Outright propaganda. "Through President Trump’s vision..."

Trump and his toady are trying haaaaaaard to prove how theyt are the protectors of SS.

Looks like you can unsubcribe to getting these type of emails. I'll do it. Let's see what good it does.

"Today, the Social Security Administration (SSA) proudly commemorates its 90th anniversary, marking its unwavering commitment to the financial security and dignity of millions of Americans. Since President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law on August 14, 1935, the program has grown into one of the most successful and trusted institutions in American history.

“For 90 years, Social Security has stood as a promise kept, ensuring that older Americans, people with disabilities, and families facing loss have the support they need,” said Commissioner Frank J. Bisignano. “As we honor this legacy, we are also building a future where service is faster, smarter, and more accessible than ever before. Through President Trump’s vision, we are protecting and preserving Social Security by delivering extraordinary customer service through technological improvements and enhanced process engineering.”

In an open letter to the American people, Commissioner Bisignano emphasized the importance of Social Security, his commitment to strengthening the agency, and the significant improvements to customer service achieved in his first 100 days in office.

Today, Commissioner Bisignano also joined President Donald J. Trump at the White House as the President issued a presidential proclamation, recommitting to always defend Social Security and recognizing the countless contributions of every American senior who has invested their time, talent, and resources into our Nation’s future.

looking for the deadly bullet hidden amongst the excess verbiage. I thought there may be some hints about the way that Trump is planning to steal it or privatize it.
