[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now Johnson is repeating Elon's claim that most SS payments are fraudulent.  Big cuts are coming, but they're just going to claim they were actually "fraud."

My guess it they will start a "freeze" social security disability payments while they conduct a "review" to determine which ones are "fraud."  That would be in line with how they've done the USAID and NIH cuts.  They will go after SSDI first because that's not as politically popular.  [/quote]
My guess is that Congress will pass a bill to make SS payroll contributions voluntary, under the guise of worker freedom.  Like with any insurance program, younger workers will choose to opt out, leaving a progressively worse annual shortfall.  As the SS insurance pool shrinks, they will gradually reduce benefits until the whole thing simply collapses.  That way Republicans can claim that they didn’t kill SS, but it was simply an unstable Ponzi scheme.[/quote]

No part of this will involve Congress passing any laws.  That is not the DOGE way.[/quote]
