Senator Baldwin Statement on Deep Cuts at Social Security Administration
1.3 million Wisconsinites receive Social Security benefits
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin issued the following statement on reports that the Social Security Administration will fire half of the agency’s staff:
“Plain and simple, this is an attack on Wisconsinites’ Social Security,” said Senator Baldwin. “Donald Trump and Elon Musk slashing Social Security’s staff in half and shuttering field offices will only mean longer wait times, delays in getting benefits, or seniors just not getting the benefits they are owed – and it’s all just to make room in the budget to fund a tax break for the richest of the rich. This is as wrong as it gets.”NOTE: This press release was submitted to Urban Milwaukee and was not written by an Urban Milwaukee writer.
