The scariest article on the Social Security Administration (SSA)

I worked for SSA for almost 38 years and retired in 2014-. I am alarmed and disgusted by what Trump is doing to SSA. I think the goal is to wreck it and privatize it,

A few notes on the article:

1. They are right to want to clean up the records of people who are certainly dead but not shown as deceased. It’s just not a high priority since there isn’t significant fraud. I would have spent the money on customer service in the field offices or on the phone.
2. The fast pace of their programming is just looking for trouble. As noted in the article, major changes usually take much longer. I suspect they are going to scrimp on writing specifications for the programmers and validating the finished product.
3. They are right to want to convert the software to a more modern language but I suspect their reason is to make it easier to privatize SSA.
