Before President Donald Trump started mass layoffs of federal workers, he demonized them, arguing, despite evidence

to the contrary, hat most never went into the office.

As he moved to cut foreign aid, he and Elon Musk alleged widespread waste and abuse, 

although they offered little evidence to back up their claims and may

simply disagree with how the money was being spent.

With that in mind, consider what the Trump administration is now doing to Social Security, seeding the idea, 

which is not backed up by known facts, that millions of dead people are collecting payments.

Add in the departure of Michelle King, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration

after a run-in with Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency over the agency’s recipient information,

and it’s worth paying attention to what’s going on.

Trump promised throughout the presidential campaign that Social Security payments and Medicare coverage would not be cut.
