"Fewer than 100 days, this administration has done so much damage, and so much destruction it's kind of breathtaking it could happen that soon, Biden said."
"They've taken a hatchet to the Social Security, pushing 7,000 employees out the door, said the former president, referring to the national agency which pays out retirement and disability benefits."
"Former President Joe Biden is lying to Americans. Here are the facts: 1President Trump has repeatedly promised to protect Social Security and ensure higher take-home pay for seniors by ending taxation on Social Security benefits."
"The Social Security Administration (SSA), created in 1935 by then-president Franklin D Roosevelt, pays out $1.4 trillion in benefits to 73 million elderly and disabled US citizens annually."
In his first major speech post-presidency, Joe Biden accused Donald Trump's administration of severely damaging the Social Security Administration through aggressive workforce cuts. Speaking to advocates in Chicago, he highlighted the reduction of 7,000 employees in less than 100 days and warned of the dangers these reforms pose to retirement and disability support. The SSA responded, refuting Biden's allegations and emphasizing Trump's commitment to protect Social Security. Biden's remarks were also overshadowed by his vocal stumbles, with Trump leveraging these moments to critique the former president's delivery.
