Trump’s Social Security attack plan: break it, then “save” it by ending Social Security as a public program.

Translation: Sheldon Whitehouse is furious that his hands are being taken out of the Social Security cookie jar so he can't pay off his special interests anymore.

Dive into the critical issues shaping economic policy, from President-elect Trump’s sweeping tariff proposals to the challenges Texas faces under rising government spending. Now is the time for bold reforms to protect taxpayers and ensure economic freedom thrives.

Senator Whitehouse’s fearmongering ignores the real issue: decades of bureaucratic bloat draining Social Security through mismanagement. The program isn’t “broken”—it’s been looted by career politicians who’d rather fund foreign aid and green energy slush funds than protect retirees. Real reform starts with auditing every dollar, cutting waste, and prioritizing Americans over D.C. grift. Let’s talk about the $601M in refugee grants or the $1B telemedicine scams instead of fake “saving” narratives. Accountability now.

@SenWhitehouse please get DOGe out of our social security & Medicare. Yes, they are out to kill both and harvest the highly sensitive personal information on ALL Americans. DOGe will find very little 'fraud, waste or abuse.'

There is no way my 100 year old aunt could make it to a social security office in RI to verify her identity. What happens to the elderly who have dementia on social security?

Glasses on, glasses off, the drama queen continues….. 💦💦💦💦

Several countries have implemented social security reforms that incorporate private elements, with varying degrees of success, including Chile, which pioneered a fully privatized system, and countries like Sweden and Australia, which have mixed public and private systems.  Here's a more detailed look: Chile: Chile is often cited as a pioneer in social security privatization, implementing a fully privatized system in the 1980s.  Sweden: Sweden partially privatized its social security system in the 1990s, with private pensions contributing to an integrated system alongside earnings-related and flat-rate components.  Australia: Australia has a system that combines mandatory contributions to private pension plans with means-testing of Social Security age pension benefits.  Other Latin American Countries: Several Latin American countries, including Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay, have followed Chile's lead and implemented new social security programs, some with mandatory individual accounts and others with mixed public/private systems.  Eastern European Countries: A number of Eastern European countries have also adapted the Chilean model.  Netherlands and Switzerland: In these countries, private pensions are mandatory, supplementing existing flat-rate or earnings-related social security systems.

Stupid and repulsive is a tough combo to pull off, but you pull it off shelley

It's OUR money & we aren't giving it to a bunch of greedy billionaires or fascist thieves.

Do you know how many seniors live on social security? I assume you do. I'm not talking about disability. Just straight retirement from working full time for their entire lives. Ya'll need to figure out how to end this insanity. Dumb (and smart) people doing really insane stuff!😡

Made up ridiculous nonsense. Pathetic.
