Take heart Democrats... Even a single month's interruption in social security benefits will swing tens of millions of votes immediately.

The current acting administrator of the social security administration has indicated that he believes the DOGE team is bound to make mistakes in their effort to examine social security and its payment system. He admits that it needs to be done but considering the fact that it runs on a 65-year-old poorly maintained and antiquated piece of software he is certain that the software engineers working for Musk will fumble through it and cause it to malfunction almost definitely.

I have to emphasize that while I support this effort It must be observed and noted that even a single mistake that interrupts benefits only once..... Will be the single most powerful trigger to vote flipping anyone has ever seen.
It will happen quickly and have lasting damage.

This should be interesting to watch.

The poorly educated people who believe Trump's lies will forgive him for anything.

This has nothing to do with education or belief in anything. This is the one single hot button issue that cannot be negotiated with. People who Miss even a single payment will be completely convinced and extremely difficult to de-convince if not impossible. The much smarter approach to this would be to slowly but surely begin upgrading the entire system to a modern software. Make the corrections slowly over the course of the next two to three years. If they fumble this football they fumble the whole game.

What is your point? That antiquated systems should never be updated?

Two or three years? Why so long? Good grief. I think we are smart enough to do it in 2 or 3 months. And, why do you think people would immediately become Democrats because of that? LOL!

 

[Concerned American]

Two or three years? Why so long?

LOL, its the nature of the beast. Oracle has been working on the DMV system for over 15 years in CA and it still has problems. Window is over 30 years old with a ridiculous number of versions and that system is not much better than 3.11 and it still has problems. I think the software companies do it on purpose. Cerner made a mess of the VA system during the Biden admin. I yearn for the days before all of this technology that works at the speed of light-----ROTFLMFAO.

What, no gun money for a month!

 

[EvilCat Breath]

This is what democrats pin their future on?
Yes.
This is just how morally and intellectually bankrupt they are.

Which ones? List three.

You seem to be one of them.

Yeah those smart people couldn't do it with student loans in two and a half years and it looks like it will be next year before millions of borrowers will even be able to make payments again assuming Trump's executive order to prepare to scuttle the DofEd doesn't delay it even further. They can't transfer loans to the treasury when the DofEd doesn't have the correct loan history information to begin with.

 

[toobfreak]

You seem to be one of them.

So you can't even list three of Trump's lies. I might have figured.

Better yet, a major malfunction erases 101% of the SSA beneficiaries info going clear back to the beginning of the SSA!!!

Oh no..... They should go ahead and update it but keep the other system running until they're ready to transition.

I don't think they would become Democrats but they certainly would respond either with a no vote or a vote for someone else.

I am not affected by such things. I have several income streams unaffected by the government and I always keep 12 months worth of expenses on hand just in case the system crashes for any reason.

I do know a lot of people that live from check to check. Missing even one month's worth of benefits to put them in a position that they can't recover from.

There are always back ups.

Jesus, is this what you guys are pinning all your hopes on? Good luck with that.

Printed paper & digital on the backup no doubt!
