Martin O’Malley is still out there sounding the alarm on what the DOGE bros are doing to Social Security.
“They’re paying people in cash to leave. And we know that people that were retirement eligible, like so many of the people that keep the IT systems going so that those monthly benefit checks arrive every month, as they have for 90 years without interruption, they’re being told if they’re retirement eligible, like I said, 40% of them are, we will pay you until the end of the year if you get out now,” O’Malley said.
“No need for knowledge transfer, no need to tell us what you understand about how the architecture of this place is put together. Leave now. I truly believe that they are trying to crater this agency, and that they are driving it to a total system collapse that is going to happen a lot sooner rather than later.”
Nicolle Wallace showed a clip of Bernie Sanders warning about Social Security.
SANDERS: You want to hear something that is so horrible, given the fact that we are the richest country on earth, is that 30,000 Americans die every year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits today.
Can you imagine somebody old there on disability? They can’t get the benefits. They die earlier than they should. If these cuts go through, the number of people who die will go up very significantly. That is not what this country is about and we’re not going to allow that to happen.
