In a speech that was both firm and emotional, former U.S. President Joe Biden spoke out to denounce what he described as a full-scale assault on Social Security by the Trump administration, just 100 days after its return to power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking at a national conference on the protection of social rights, the 82-year-old Biden criticized what he sees as a deeply unjust policy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cThey\u2019re hacking away at Social Security, laying off 7,000 employees\u2014including the most experienced ones,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
For Biden, this attack on one of the pillars of the American social model is no accident\u2014it is, in his view, the centerpiece of a carefully crafted strategy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cAll of this is aimed at funding massive tax cuts for billionaires, while working people see their fundamental guarantees disappear.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Biden also emphasized the moral significance of Social Security, describing it as a \u201csacred bond of trust between the government and the people.\u201d According to him, it\u2019s not just about pensions or benefits\u2014it\u2019s about honoring a national promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An \u201canti-fraud expert\u201d and\u2026 Elon Musk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The former president also criticized the controversial February appointment of an \u201canti-fraud expert\u201d to lead the Social Security Administration\u2014a move he sees as a symbolic act of \u201cideological dismantling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what especially raised concern for Biden is the mission entrusted to Elon Musk, who has been tasked by Donald Trump with \u201cdownsizing the federal government.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
