📋 Social Security Plans ‘Significant’ Staff Reductions (AARP Article)

AARP needs to do more to protest the reduction of workforce at SSA. 

AARP is looking to be the ultimate in Milk Toast Generic Lobbies. Grow a spine and stand AGAINST Elon and the felon! You're supposed to be fighting for the older gens. Whatever I give you in membership could just as easily go to ACLU or Public TV and Radio. I'm thinking my money would get much better results from those entities. Remember that Medicaid is two letters away from Medicare. That orange outfit just doesn't care. 

Whoever voted for him, I hope they’re happy!

AARP’s weak-tea “response” to this outrage (“please give us more information about how you’re going to destroy Social Security, because we think many of our members maybe might object, but possibly others might be Trump cult members and we certainly don’t want to risk losing any dues-paying folks so we’ll pretend that we might decide that destroying Social Security is okay once we get that information we’re asking for, but honestly we’d really rather just continue to publish puzzles and celebrity profiles and cartoons poking gentle fun at the aging process instead of advocating for our members”) is pathetic.  AARP is supposed to be an advocate for seniors. Advocate, don’t equivocate, for heaven’s sake.

AARP needs to get on the ball and have ALL their members calling their representatives!  The Trump administration is going to say what people want to hear and then do what they want.  They want to strip Social Security.  Look at their actions, not what they are saying!

Social Security is established by the US Congress. The President's job is to execute the policy established by Congress. A massive restructuring is illegal without congressional authorization. Let's organize to stop this before it's too late!

Not an issue!  There is too much inefficiency in most of these programs! Get all employees back in the office and not working from home!  Continue investigations into allegations of waste, fraud, and abuse (we all know of at least one person abusing the system).  

I am glad that AARP is waking up to the crisis forming at the Social Security Administration.  Please, PLEASE send out an urgent alert to all members to CALL their representatives.  Emails are ok, but calls and visits are better.  Congress is going into recess soon.  People need to show up at their representatives' offices and make their feelings known!

AARP, we need your leadership. No more games and meaningless clicks to get points for stuff. The planned gutting (or robbing) of social security and medicare benefits is a travesty.  DOGE is firing civil servants who support the elderly and the poor while DOGE represents coldblooded billionaires.  We must fight to stop this sabotaging of the people's purse!
