Social Security turns 90 tomorrow. Social Security has never missed a payment, even during national crises like 9/11 or Hurricane Katrina. We should be increasing resources for this important program, not laying off critical staff and closing offices. www.epi.org/publication/...

Actually, the Social Security administration *has* been missing some payments. Some people have been DOGED and their Social Security has been suspended. #SSA

But some people have been "DOGED" and had their #SocialSecurity payments stopped, including the mother of a popular professor who writes regularly on strongmen. Her mother is 92, with dementia. The professor is working to restore her benefits. (Was this a targeted move?) #doge #ssa

Very simple, impactful solution for keeping the fund solvent for many years Why doesn't this common sense proposal make it in to the discourse?
