Conservatives have been discussing the Social Security Administration ( SSA )’s ( at least since the Reagan era ) dumpster fire, but I don’t know who needs to hear this. We then learn from the Washington Post how the agency’s real issues started when Donald Trump and Elon Musk first arrived in D.C. ten weeks before.  ,

Great grief! Something must be accomplished! Points are splintering at the cracks!
Before Trump and Musk arrived, Social Security was a flourishing, well-maintained, and unaffected equipment, according to The Post. No 200-year-old individuals were enrolled in the government’s handout; they were only used as temporary residents. We were certain that those individuals would receive no balances.  ,
But wow! We learned on Tuesday from the websites of the Post that the clothing that appears to be a Ponzi scheme, which is always a few years away from debts because there isn’t a “lock box” or true” believe fund,” is now” crumbling.”
And be assured that it is only King Trump and his right hand, Elon, who is at fault, young knight.  ,
The Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ) is finally taking those issues into account. That implies that the solutions being proposed must be incorrect.  ,
According to internal documents and more than two dozen current and former agency employees and officials, customers and others who interact with Social Security, we are informed that the SSA “is engulfed in crisis — further undermining its ability to provide reliable and quick service to vulnerable customers.”
Managers: MANAGERS! —   are actually answering phones to assist customers with their social security queries. Some people, like before Elon arrived, wait very long before answering the phone. More than 12 % of the 57, 000-person staff has been riffed from the organization or taken a buyout, according to  .

Additionally, WaPo asserts that the Social Security Administration website crashed four times in ten days, preventing millions of Americans with disabilities and retirees from accessing their online accounts because the servers were overloaded. That’s not ideal, by the way. In fact, it’s like having a bad day at a big company.  ,
Sadly, there is no comparison that can be made. Did the website crash in December last year? No concept. Six months prior to that? When asked to compare the Post’s post to a base of comparison, who is that Criss Angel magic guy? They shrug and complain; we’re just reporting what a man who despises Trump and works for Social Security told us, don’t ask questions. Elon is entirely to blame!
Wait until they discover where Post goes to prove that EVERYTHING IS WORSE in the past ten weeks if you think that’s crazy.  ,
The Post story includes complaints from a union leader complaining about having to go back to the office, a phone call center receiving numerous calls in lefty Portland, and reliably left Baltimore residents, some of whom were probably paid by ActBlue to show up to a town hall. People who had to return to the office later discovered that their chairs were filthy, the whiteboard pens were dry, and there were no longer any office supplies. Who was providing their home office supplies?

I wonder how things were going in Nebraska. Because no one requested, no one knows.
The Post finished its piece with tales of people who already receive their direct deposit Social Security checks, but worry that too much fraud and waste could be discovered, stifling other people’s checks. Or something.  ,
Sen. Angus King (I-Maine ), who is notoriously left, is very concerned!
Sen. Angus King (I-Maine ) stated in an interview that “what’s going on is the destruction of the agency from the inside out, and it’s getting worse.” People in their 70s and 80s constantly approach me and are beside themselves. They are unaware of what is happening.
What’s about to happen? They are coming with their checks.  ,
The Post features dramatic inquiries being made by those call-in to those overburdened, hard-working call centers:
What is the U.S. DOGE Service doing to Social Security, and why have these questions become predictable? The office will it close? Will my advantages stay with me?
I wonder why they believe that.  ,
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash. ), over to you.  ,
Oh my goodness, Pramila, you minx you. Your fake news nose is expanding once more.
Pramila won’t let you know that the first sentence of this story states that”… individuals wanting to claim benefits who can prove their identity online will need to apply in person.”
What exactly is this?

The lefties also claim that they object to SSA payments for people who can’t prove their identities in person at an office. They really, really don’t like that. What comes next? Voter I. D.? !
Bad things might happen because Trump has requested Elon perform surgery on an awake and unmedicated patient. These computer systems waste money on service agreements that are invalid and could be removed from the agency or fixed while using outdated and outdated hardware and code. Wait until AI chat boxes are included in the SSA software, if they aren’t already. What happens if an AI bot picks up the phone, and what? You can anticipate holy hell to rise from the dust bunnies under the desks that haven’t been used.  ,
We’re relieved that the Washington Post has decided to write about the issues with Social Security.  ,
Imagine everything happening in ten weeks.  ,
