Summary

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick claimed that most seniors would not complain if Social Security checks were missed, suggesting that only “fraudsters” would object.

His remarks sparked backlash as Social Security is a critical income source for millions, including 15% of women and 12% of men over 65 who rely on it for 90% of their income.

Amid rising concerns, Maryland Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander criticized acting SSA head Lee Dudek for threatening to cut IT access, escalating fears of disruptions.

    This is one thing you don’t fuck with. Every time it has been tried, senior citizens say “fuck it, if I’m dying I’m bringing the bastards down with me.”

    Boomers don’t need us for this fight. If the government skips out on social security, the absolute worst people to piss off, get pissed off.

    You know what Boomers have? Free time. You know what Boomers are acutely aware of? They’re running out of time.

    Medicaid? Honestly, they can cut that with minimal fear. Medicare? Same thing.

    Social Security? That’s pulling the pin on a grenade and playing hot potato with it.
