Seniors – if your SS check doesn't arrive next month will you take Trump’s Commerce Secretary advice?

Trump Commerce Secretary said - “Let’s say Social Security didn’t send out their checks this month. My mother-in-law - who is 94 - she wouldn’t call and complain. She just wouldn’t.”.

If it happens - US seniors should complain and know who to blame. Cheers and happy weekend!

    Maybe Trump will start dancing to this song when seniors start worrying about their income. Cheers and happy weekend!

    My SS payments are auto payments into my checking account. Oddly enough. my monthly payments have increased by $300.

    Mine are automatically deposited also.  That, however, doesn't mean that DOGE or Musk or Trump can't decide to stop those payments.

    Musk had access to tons of personal info which might of included automatic deposit numbers. He also had a team of tec experts who could easily make those numbers disappear. Cheers!

    Exactly.  Fortunately, I have other income sources, so if my Soc. Sec. doesn't come in, I won't be earing cat food, but I'm sure there are a lot of folks who aren't in my position.

    Trump complained that the immigrants were eating the cats and dogs. But I bet he wouldn't care if American seniors had to eat the cat and dog food – I actually think he would take delight in it.

    And Trump’s Commerce Secretary telling people not to complain because his 94 year old mother-in-law wouldn’t complain is not going to make the cat and dog food taste better. Cheers!

    I believe you are right - Trump couldn't care less about anyone other than himself.  And, as far as getting the waste out of government, giving additional tax breaks to the wealthy at the expense of the less fortunate shows how little he cares about others.  

    May be an image of golf and text that says 'Taxpayers can feed 10,850 elderly people for a YEAR at a cost of $3 million, the cost of 1 golf trip for only 1 old man.'
