David Valadao, Ken Calvert, and Young Kim are destroying Social Security – and boasting about it.
First, Valadao, Calvert and Kim 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, Valadao, Calvert, and Kim voted for the Big, Ugly Law, which 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 Anna Elsasser:
“David Valadao, Ken Calvert, and Young Kim are silent as D.C. Republicans make clear that their bill would privatize the earned benefit that serves as a lifeline for millions of seniors. Their betrayal to California seniors and workers will cost them at the ballot box next year.” |
