Republicans Must Fix Social Security Crisis They Created

“Donald Trump has created a massive customer service crisis at Social Security. Mistakes are being made, checks are late, lines are hours long, offices have no workers, the 1-800 number has record wait times if people can get through at all. All of this was caused by Donald Trump’s DOGE cuts, which were based on lies.

Now, instead of addressing the very real crisis people are facing, SSA Commissioner Frank Bisignano is sending a piece of political propaganda filled with lies.

We have proposed reducing the taxation of Social Security benefits for over a decade, and paying for it by having billionaires pay the same rate into Social Security as the rest of us.

Instead, Trump’s plan moves the trust fund exhaustion date forward by a full year, meaning every current and future Social Security beneficiary is paying the price. This is all to obscure the true impact of the Big Beautiful Betrayal: 17 million Americans lose their health care, food is stolen off the plates of the hungry, hospitals and nursing homes close across this country, all so that trillions in tax handouts can be given to billionaires, like Trump, Elon Musk, and Bisignano.”
