Ann Wagner Is Destroying Social Security

Ann Wagner is destroying Social Security – and her allies are boasting about it. 

First, Wagner fully submitted to Elon Musk’s plan to gut the agency, which cut phone lines, fired staff, and laid off workers through his cruel DOGE effort.

Second, the administration’s Howard Lutnick openly joked that people wouldn’t complain if seniors missed payment and offices closed.

Third, Wagner voted for the Big, Ugly Law, which Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent admitted was a “backdoor for privatizing Social Security.”

Now, a new report has found that Social Security offices lost an estimated 20% of staff this year. 

And if that wasn’t enough, in another example of the Republican obsession to dismantle Social Security, the Administration is rolling out a proposal to cut disability benefits to recipients.

DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“Ann Wagner is silent as D.C. insiders make clear that her bill would privatize the earned benefit that serves as a lifeline for millions of seniors. Her betrayal to Missouri seniors and workers will cost her at the ballot box next year.”
