During his first public appearance since leaving office, former President Joe Biden criticized Donald Trump's policies regarding Social Security. Speaking in Chicago, Biden asserted that Trump had 'taken a hatchet' to the program, essential for over 73 million elderly and disabled citizens. He emphasized that Social Security is a sacred national promise rather than just a government program, crucial for covering basic needs. Biden warned that Trump's cost-cutting efforts, influenced by advisor Elon Musk, threatened to undermine this vital support system, all while aiming to provide tax benefits to the wealthy.
In fewer than 100 days, this new administration has done so much damage and so much destruction. It's kind of breathtaking. They've taken a hatchet to the Social Security Administration.
Social Security is more than a government program. It's a sacred promise we made as a nation. We know just how much Social Security matters to people's lives.
They want to wreck it so they can rob it. Why do they want to rob it? In order to give tax cuts to billionaires and big corporations.
The White House denied that Trump was intending to slash Social Security benefits, with Trump's press secretary refuting the claims made by Biden.
