to have PRIVATE EQUITY "step in" to take over the Social Security system that he and Musk are intentionally dismantling by false accusations of widespread fraud.

These ASSHOLES LIE to the committees to be sworn in OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

WHO CAN SAVE US FROM LIES. if the congress and special commitees cannot?

The "Let's Privatize Social Security" operation, step by step:

1. Lie/deny about plans to destroy Social Security,

2. Discredit Soc. Sec. to lower public confidence,

3. Send in Musk DOGE techofascist bro-boys to mess around and damage Soc. Sec. operations internally,

4 Imply that only fraudsters would complain about an interruption/non-arrival of Soc. Sec. benefit checks,

5. tRump can declare a Soc. Sec. emergency, and send in private equity and technofascist bros to "fix" what they broke,

6. Soc. Sec. gets taken over by privatizers, in order to "fix" what they deliberately broke and achieve GOP dreams of destroying Social Security.

just like every other trump nominee. Every one did exactly what they said they wouldn't do within a day of being appointed.

Frump would never put forth anyone who isn't a tool.
Guy has "privatizer" written all over him.

Even if I weren't receiving Social Security in my old age from a lifetime's work and paying in, I will fight for Social Security for all Americans for as long as I live. It's an efficient, well-run system and must continue for future generations.
