It's going to happen, but not in as direct a fashion as a budget cut. They will remove it from the Federal budget entirely, by privatizing it. They will sell the privatization as a benefit to the average retiree, by billing it as "removing bloated bureaucracy". They will form a company with all of Trump's broligarchs as owners, and all payments will go through X. This company will magically win the contract to provide this service, without any competitive bid.

None of their promises will be fulfilled, and benefits will be enshittified, just like everything else these people touch. Eventually, the company will go belly-up, but not until after losing all of ~~its~~ our assets in a convenient crypto heist. All the founders will then live suspiciously lavish lifestyles off of their crypto stashes. Eggheads will discover that the owners took the crypto themselves, but President Trump will dismiss that as "fake news" and issue pre-emptive pardons to prevent "Woke FBI agents" from investigating them.

You cut social security and you get riots with folks who have nothing left to lose.

Good thing we have a solution: Deny, Defend, Depose.

Is it me or has the media just latched on to a completely made up government department? I don't know why I have to say this but DOGE is not a real thing. If they want to create a new department then congress needs to write and pass a bill to do it. We also ALREADY have a department for this so the irony is just dripping here.

The department so efficient they need two bosses

Hell yeah. This is what majority wanted let's do it. Remove the guardrails baby.

So this guy is “ceo” of space x, Tesla, and twitter and now he’s running a play project that covers the entire government? This man must be the most useless scattered inefficient grifter in the world.

Unaffected?

They will benefit greatly from fucking us over as usual, that's how they have all of the money and the power to begin with, they got it by fucking us over.

Benefiting from something is an effect.

To write this any other way is straight up irresponsible and morally wrong.

Sigh, they're being such Brian Thompsons

If I had to pay into that shit my whole life and I dont get to see any of it NOR do I get my money back I will cause such a fucken ruckus.

As a disabled person who voted for Harris, I'd just like to say fuck every goddamn retard and some who voted for the Orange Idiot and I'm glad you're all about to have your faces chewed off by the leopards. I can't wait until you all start cannibalizing each other's stuff in other to pay for healthcare and nursing homes, you shit chugging bug fuckers.

Bring it, bitches. Let’s get this show started and see how it pans out.

If/when this happens and these dipshits claim they didn't vote for it....I'm going to keep this clip handy, just like driftglass and bluegal:

Hat tip to the Professional Left Podcast...

The only way Trump’s ‘efficiency’ department can trim $2 trillion from the federal budget is to cut a big hole in America’s retirement safety net.

Or they could cut like 1% from the departments of imperialism. Nobody would notice except like the toilet seat salesmen. They can't even do an audit.

The only thing they are streamlining is the flow of money into their pockets

Thing is that when something similar happened in France, all hell broke loose. Strikes went on for a long time. And even though the pension plan passed with a presidential degree rather than through parliament, the president became so unpopular, that the country is in shambles now

Lmao he’s really going hard on the whole kid as a human shield shtick

…and all the voters who sat home because the democrats didn’t hold their hand all the way to the ballot box. Yeah, the neo-con platform sucked, but it wasn’t going to suck like trump being president.

So Elon is running around with a human shield now.

Well, the poorer the subjects are, the more desperate they are to work. Even for less. More money for the already rich. That is the plan, try to change my mind.
