Here Comes Trump's Privatization of the Social Security Administration
What Happened: A leaked email from SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek outlines plans to outsource "nonessential functions" and cut 7,000 jobs, close 45 field offices, and consolidate operations. Former Commissioner Martin O’Malley warns these changes could collapse the agency and disrupt benefits.
Why It Matters: Trump and Elon Musk are gutting the SSA under the guise of efficiency, but experts say it’s a backdoor plan to privatize Social Security, risking delayed payments for millions of seniors.
