Trump's Social Security Sleight of Hand

Now you see it, now it's gone

Social Security is being gutted, and it's working-class Americans who will bear the brunt of it. The Trump government claims it’s not closing field offices, but behind closed doors, a draft plan is circulating that aims to consolidate those offices, with more closures planned in the years to come. This is nothing more than a sneaky move to cut services for the people who need them the most, particularly older workers. Meanwhile, the agency is pushing for people to conduct their business online, even as they continue to cut staff, leaving fewer people available to assist when things go wrong.
