At a time when the Social Security Administration is grossly understaffed, Trump plans to lay off up to 50% of its employees.
Outrageous.
This will make it HARDER for Americans to get the services they need.
This is clearly a step toward the privatization of Social Security.

Why? So Musk and other billionaires can get a huge tax break.
