Trump and DOGE Continue Wrecking Social Security So They Can Rob It | Common Dreams

A collapse of the system is the goal. They cause the crisis with cuts and then hope to force a fire sale to private equity, the robber barons of the modern era.

The Trump administration is lying about Social Security. Elon Musk’s DOGE has infiltrated the Social Security Administration (SSA). The agency’s new commissioner, Wall Street billionaire Frank Bisignano, calls himself “a DOGE person.” His top lieutenants include long-time Musk associates Antonio Gracias and Aram Moghaddassi.

After infiltrating Social Security, the DOGE crew forced out thousands of civil servants, including top leaders with decades of institutional knowledge. No problem, they thought. We’ll replace them with 19-year-old Edward “Big Balls” Coristine and an AI chatbot.

    The only way to save Social Security is to make as much noise as possible. Call your members of Congress at 202-224-3121 and demand they protect Social Security from DOGE destruction. And tell all your family and friends to do the same.

    Oh cool, so in other words “there’s no way to save it.”

    “Beg the people who stand to benefit personally from its destruction to save it.” Cool plan.

    I am in no way way in support of accelerationism, but I think just about the only way large swathes of the population are going to recognize how much damage is being done is if he somehow fucks up the current social security money flow. Even then, I could easily see my dad pulling a ‘well the dems have been mismanaging it for years…’
