Rep. John Larson Delivered A Fiery Speech, Where's Elon?
Rep. John Larson delivered a fiery speech blasting Republicans for blocking Elon Musk from testifying to Congress and enabling the Trump administration to go after Social Security.
There is NO evidence the Musk/Trump team has designs on eliminating Social Security benefits for any ELIGIBLE recipient now receiving benefits. Trump has repeatedly made that statement in writing.
There IS a desire to stop any Social Security benefits now being paid to people who were never able to receive them in the first place. Reportedly, sufficient evidence of that kind of program abuse has been discovered. I believe those reports to be true.
Who in their right mind would not want to ‘scrape off’ the undeserved payments taken from our Social Security system? Such a housecleaning would surely make the funding pool for deserving recipients stronger, and last longer.
I have no idea what the appropriate process is for rectifying ANY of the spending abuses, fraud, etc. being uncovered is. I do know some local District Justice can be expected to stand in the way of any corrective action.
My biggest beef is with the SCARE TACTICS being used about Seniors (like me) running the risk of losing the payments they are entitled to. That’s simply a blatant lie by those who hope to discredit what I believe to be essential, a thorough and complete justification for how my tax dollars are being doled out.
Of course, throwing shade at Trump is a side benefit to some. That’s gotten way out of control.

If what they claim is true.
DeleteReportedly, sufficient evidence..
DeleteIf this is so why didn't they take that evidence to this committee?
