Rep. Madeleine Dean Condemns Trump Administration's Social Security Cuts

Concerns Over Social Security

• 💡 Over 17 million seniors live on less than $30,000 annually, yet programs like Social Security are targeted for cuts.
• ⚠️ The Trump Administration announced a plan to eliminate 12% of Social Security employees, close 26 offices, and reduce phone services.

Impact on Americans

• 🎯 Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik's statement that only fraudsters would complain about missing a Social Security check is criticized.
• 💰 While Lutnik's family might afford to miss a payment, most Americans cannot, as these are earned benefits funded by their contributions.
• 🗣️ Constituents are expressing fear and concern through calls, texts, emails, and in-person interactions.

Direct Message to the Administration

• 📢 Representative Dean, on behalf of her constituents, seniors, Americans with disabilities, and working families, directly addresses President Trump and his associates.
• 🚫 The message is a strong rejection of the idea that seniors are fraudsters, asserting that the administration is incompetent and mischaracterizing beneficiaries.
