Frequent right-wing media guest and Project 2025 contributor E.J. Antoni — Trump's pick to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics after he fired its previous commissioner — has on multiple occasions called Social Security a “Ponzi scheme.”

More of the “behind the scenes” controllers are coming to the foreground. There are a lot of them, with a lot of money, and now, power.

Heritage is root of all evil. This EJ Antoni looks like a daeva that's been drained of blood.

All this means is is we can’t trust anything that comes out from that department now. Where can we get data that we can trust?

I’m sorry, but if you pen a document detailing how to dismantle a nation’s government, AND take action on it, how is that not treason?

Of course it's a Ponzi scheme, everyone knows that...When LBJ in circa 1968 added the so called "trust fund" to the General Fund, SS has been emptied of all money...It's only IOU's...total joke. tinyurl.com/29u9m8eb

Hell, this entire administration might be called a Ponzi scheme depending on your point of view. And this guy is a member of the Heritage Foundation...you know, authors and supporters of Project 2025, the scheme to make America controlled by 1920s Christian Nationalists.

How are we only 7 months into this nightmare? It feels like 7 years. The worst of the worst keep being added to this administration until we lose everything. It's sickening.

The thing about a Ponzi scheme is that in order for it to be a scheme, they have to lie about how the money's coming in. Otherwise, it's just insurance.

Heritage is a Ponzi Scheme. They collect money from wealthy benefactors on the chance they can secure imaginary money for them through tax cuts and deregulation. And then when the government can’t pay its public/municipal debts due to revenue deficits, the government prints that imagined money.

The Public is the Victim of a Ponzi Scheme orchestrated and executed by Heritage-aligned think tanks. It’s happening in our states. It’s happening in Washington. It’s not stopping through court cases or legislation. It’s time to engage them in the Revolution Kevin Roberts asked for.

With E.J. Antoni, Trump's pick leading the Bureau of Labor Statistics, we will now only get the best numbers for our great economy - the world's greatest - from now on. We have the best unemployment EVER, and we have 0 inflation rate. Don't you all feel better now? Also gas is only $1.12/gallon.

So a nation that once had the wherewithal and smarts to defeat Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in World War 2 will now just easily let extreme right wing fringe crackpots with junk science, junk economics, and junk politics, liquidate anything worth keeping and replace it with crackpot junk?
