(3,132 posts)The "Let's Privatize Social Security" operation, step by step:
1. Lie about plans to destroy Social Security,
2. Discredit Soc. Sec., to lower public confidence,
3. Send in DOGE to damage Soc. Sec. operations internally,
4. Say only fraudsters would complain about Soc. Sec. non-payment,
5. Cause poor service so tRump can declare emergency, send in private equity and technofascist bros to "fix" what they broke,
6. Privatizers take over Soc. Sec. to "fix" what they deliberately broke and achieve GOP dreams of destroying Social Security.

(421 posts)The assault on Social Security needs to be called out daily in stark terms as Senator Whitehouse did here. Yes, they are LYING! DOGE is not about efficiency, it is about sabotoging SSA for privatization. This includes a propaganda campaign to diminish trust in the SSA.
Thank you Senator.
