Trump’s choice of social security defends the program against democratic criticism

The choice of President Donald Trump to direct the country’s social security apparatus, Commissioner Frank Bisignano, told Fox News Digital that the Critics of the Trump administration’s approach in matters of social security were politically motivated and misleading.

Democrats have expressed a wide range of concerns about Social Security under the current administration, including the statements that the Trump administration makes it more difficult for the elderly and people with disabilities to access their advantages. Critics of the Trump administration have also expressed their concern that the president seeks to privatize the program and exaggerates the problems of fraud to justify radical reforms. The Democrats of Congress went so far as to launch a “Social Security War” to coordinate their efforts to retaliate.

“I don’t know what they have a war,” said Bisignano. “I personally think they are really afraid that it will be great and that it ruins his silly little story.”

Bisignano has taken the accusation from which the forced endowment cuts to the social security administration will have a significant impact on the beneficiaries and the efficiency of the program. He argued not only that the relationships on the personnel cuts were misleading, but also that the idea that the effectiveness of the program was correlated with the beneficiaries to the members of the staff is a false story pushed by the media and the criticisms of Trump.

“Someone said:” In 1960, we had an employee for 480 beneficiaries, and today is one for 1,500. They cannot have enough staff. “Well, we don’t make 1.5 million transactions on the web.

Thursday marks the 90th anniversary of Social Security, and during the decades, the program went from the one who mainly treated and delivered checks to the beneficiaries, but now, as Bisignano points out, the country’s social security program is much more than that. Consequently, the effectiveness of social security is more than labor, underlines Bisignano.

“What people never say is that we are the most important contributions to retirement planning for America,” said Bisignano. “We return it better every hour by allowing people to operate on the web, on phones, thanks to technology.”

The commissioner underlined a variety of exploitation statistics, which, according to him, dispute the story of the left that Trump is paralyzing social security and injured the beneficiaries.

Waiting times to a figure for beneficiaries who require administration assistance were a major statistic that Bisignano praised, saying that it was as high as almost 30 minutes only a year ago. Meanwhile, the program serves about twice as many customers per day during the current financial year in the previous one. Part of the success is due to the administration of the administration of artificial intelligence tools and an evolution towards better technology.

“Fewer people enter our offices on the field because we provide better telephone service and better web service than ever before,” said the commissioner, stressing that social security administration has started to perform around 300,000 more online transactions per day than before.

Bisignano also praised the program’s decision in the elimination of 29 hours per week of planned site maintenance for the online portal of the program which would force the site to close and highlighted the rear of disability complaints which have been deleted under the new administration.

According to the commissioner, the requests for invalidity in progress have been reduced by approximately 1.2 million to around 930.00.

“This does not happen by doing a job SH — Y,” insisted the commissioner, adding that “it would be the biggest rout in the history of humanity” if he had to compare the operating statistics of his first 100 days, which he called “the best days never produced by the agency”, to statistics of the first 100 days of former President Joe Biden.

“You have obtained a president who is committed to protecting and preserving, and a commissioner fixing the bases of (Social Security) which has been destroyed in the past four years by returning people to the house, eliminating the managers of the workforce, and now you have a commissioner to put it back on the right track,” said Bisignano. “And by the way, the Social Security Administration, during the three years preceding May … has reached the lowest moral note of any agency in the government. This will change now.”

Bisignano suggested that the reason for all criticisms aimed at approaching the administration in social security, was strategically pushed because it is a program that cares about each American.

“When people have nothing to offer, they like to offer that social security will not work, because they know that each American cares about social security,” supposed the commissioner.
