ColumnApr 17, 2025“Co-Presidents” Trump and Musk Attack Social Security
By Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan
Republican politicians know that to promote the elimination or even the privatization of Social Security is political suicide. Instead, the DOGE plan seems to be to render it dysfunctional, by shuttering field offices, massively reducing its workforce, thus abandoning the most vulnerable among us, who have the least political influence. This is what Trump and Musk clearly intend. The urgent work now is to stop them.
