Trump’s hostility to foreigners, universities and science will cause a brain drain

Once people have left or don’t come here at all, we’ve lost them. The whole country will suffer for decades because of Trump. Other countries will be glad to have these people and will benefit from them.

Reducing services is not saving money

You pay out less in salaries but the smaller staff does less. I don’t call this saving money.

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:

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.
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.
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.

Trump’s hostility toward Canada is killing tourism

Musk’s efforts to buy votes in Wisconsin is apparently illegal

Can anyone stop this?

The terrible Supreme Court Citizens United decision has enabled billionaires to spend excessive amounts to influence elections.

Trump’s illegal attacks on unions

Trump’s SSA changes are built for failure

Here’s an article on the new restrictions on calls. Things you can see in the article:

They’re doing something rapidly that normally could take two years

Instructions for the staff aren’t ready and training hasn’t been done.

I really believe Trump/Musk want SSA to fail.

I’m fed up with Trump’s lies about Social Security

I worked for SSA for almost 38 years. The amount of fraud is very low. The staff is very dedicated to providing service to the public. We made many advancements over the years,

Trump, Msuk and the MAGA cult are lying. They are trying to destroy the reputation of SSA, Why/ My guess is to privatize it. If the service level is bad because of reduced staffing, they expect the public to be more receptive to privatization. They also want to lower costs to have money for tax breaks for billionaires.

Lutnick’s terrible comments on SSA

Billionaire Commerce Secretary Lutnick’s comments were terrible

most beneficiaries would miss getting a check. They are not billionaires like him
People who would complain are not fraudsters.

Trump approval is declining
