Donald Trump’s administration is a disaster A painful American. Democrats were punished by polls for trying to improve people’s lives, but Republicans who win can think positively and reward voters. new and Creative method hurt them.
For example, who decided that hell has it easily?
“To limit fraudulent claims, the Social Security Administration imposes stricter identity prevention measures, which requires millions of recipients and applicants to visit the agency’s field office, rather than interacting with agents over the phone,” the Associated Press. It has been reported. “From March 31st, people will no longer be able to confirm their identity with the SSA over the phone and those who cannot properly verify their identity through the agency’s ‘My Social Security’ online service will need to make a direct visit to the agency’s field office to complete the verification process.
To add shaming to injuries, the Trump administration plans to cut down the number of offices on the social security field.
Elon Musk, a hefty president who has pledged trillions of dollars through the so-called government efficiency, has finally realized he can’t get there without thwarting the highly popular qualification programs like Medicaid and Social Security. rear phone Social Security’s “large Ponzi scheme,” Musk claims that programs intended to protect elderly people from poverty are plagued by fraud.
“Most of the federal spending is qualifications, so that’s kind of like a big thing to eliminate. It’s like half a trillion, maybe $600, $700 billion a year.” I said Larry Cudlow from Fox Business.
In reality, the 2024 Inspector Report We found “inappropriate payments” of $72 billion for eight years (2015-2022) or just $9 billion a year. This represents less than 1% of the overall payments distributed during that time frame. If Trump really cared about eradicating that abuse, maybe he shouldn’t have. All inspectors have been fired As soon as he took office, it was literally Their work.
This new in-person requirement will affect all seniors and people with disabilities who are receiving Social Security payments, but disproportionately affect rural people. Urban recipients can take Uber or public transport to their local offices. Country Americans don’t have that convenience.
Take the main, for example.
“Presque Isle Field Office, the only Social Security Office in Aroostook County, is one of the places that can be closed and let Maine drive time if it has problems making money.” It has been reported Local TV station wmtw. “Many offices are already understaffed.”
Arostock County Located at the northernmost tip of Maine, it covers 6,800 square miles with just 67,000 residents. As the region is the largest city in the region, it makes sense that it was covered by the office of Presque Isle’s population of 8,800. Trump beat the county 62% Voting – almost accurately Trump’s country national performance 64%. Unfortunately, there are no exit polls that combine age and local type, but generally speaking, older rural whites (and this county is 94.5% white) I’m a Republican.
In the way on the other side of our country in Maine, Ginormous Alaska is kicked out Three Social Security Field Offices. Meanwhile, Musk’s Doge has already cancelled its lease 47 offices—16 is a red state, only two blue states, almost all in rural counties. And that’s probably just the beginning. (For example, the Presque Island office is not on that list.)
As Medicaid andTrump’s latest policies are particularly cruel His own supporter. They voted to hurt others, or because of the false belief that Trump can lower the prices of grocery, Karma is chewing them on the butt.
It is very noteworthy that rural Americans voted for candidates who have pledged to reduce government waste. Broadbandnationalisation Email servicefederal funding health careand government field offices like these social security hubs. Now they know that running the federal government like business means They are It’s “waste” that everyone was talking about. They turned out to be less self-sufficient than they thought, and serving these country residents certainly isn’t Efficientas far as Trump and Musk are concerned.
Social Security had 71.6 million Americans 2023and 5.8 million new additions to the rolls that year. Under this new dict order, all new beneficiaries and those who change direct deposit information must visit the field office in person directly if they are unable to verify their identity through the online portal. Will agents who already have a shortage of staff before the Doge massacre directly verify all of them, yet at the same time, be sure to see exactly what they are facing additional staffing cuts at the same time? Up to 50%?
Long waits, long drives, large inconveniences…it’s all good. They voted to own Libs and the mission was completed! I am sure these results are worth it.
