Meanwhile, Social Security’s trust funds — which cover old age and disability recipients — will be unable to pay full benefits beginning in 2034, instead of last year’s estimate of 2035. After that point, Social Security would only be able to pay 81% of benefits.

"Recent policy changes are poised to make life significantly harder for Baby Boomers. 'If you’re in your 60s or 70s, what the Trump administration has done means more insecurity for your assets in your 401(k), more insecurity about sources of long-term care, and, for the first time, insecurity about your Social Security benefits,' Teresa Ghilarducci, a labor economist at the New School, told me."

"At Social Security, Musk’s efforts amount to a case study in what happened when his team of government novices ran a critical government agency through misinformation and social media blasts.

How distortion becomes reality."⬇️

NYT also reviewed previously unreported emails that showed how #DOGE members used the agency for #political aims, directing Dudek to cancel important contracts in #Maine after the state’s governor, a #Democrat, clashed w/ #Trump.

This account of DOGE’s #SocialSecurity takeover is based on interviews with >70 current & fmr employees, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation, & a review of hundreds of pages of internal documents & court records.
