“How ironic: The most inefficient bureaucracy in government turns out to be Donald Trump’s ‘Department of Government Efficiency.’ That could be humorous, except that DOGE — a creature of the right-wing Project 2025 — has been devastating to millions of people. And it’s about to get worse. Elon Musk — the flighty überrich autocrat put in charge of ‘efficiency’ by his buddy Trump — is now going after the Social Security deposits of 73 million senior citizens. But wait, hasn’t Trump himself promised (loudly and often) that he would not ax this essential retirement program? Yes … but Elon is his ‘gotcha.’ Rather than an honest kill, Musk is strangling the program with bureaucratic red tape.” (04/19/25)
