Just listening to trump describe his ‘master plan’ for a better economy through tariffs and some of the pundits’ reactions. The impact of what he is doing is effectively a national sales tax. Everyone understands what a sales tax is and they (we!) don’t like it!

Anyone remember the plan to implement a national sales tax to finance tax cuts for the rich? That idea was excoriated as a terrible burden on consumers and subsequently dropped. Trump’s tariff scheme, which we all understand is just another tax on consumers, does essentially the same thing…

If the SSA is dismantled, that will have an immediate impact on Medicare since those payments come out of Soc Sec checks automatically and, Voila! you’ve just created 10’s of millions of uninsured Sr Citizens…

Once the SSA goes dark I have difficulty believing it can ever be restored, and the 2.6 Trillion it manages will be at risk. What will likely follow within a few months is a nationwide collapse of the housing market due to bankrupcies and foreclosures…that is not a recession.

Does anyone NOT believe the Social Security system is going crash…and soon? Apparently Musk fired most, if not all of the suport staff that maintained the SSA sysems with - 0 - knowledge transfer. I worked in IT for decades and I can say with certainty that this does not happen in the real world.
