Boyle Sounds the Alarm on Threats to Social Security

 "Our number one constituent service issue by far is always Social Security - the calls and the emails and the walk-ins the last few weeks have been through the roof," said Congressman Boyle. "If we lose even one Social Security office in Philadelphia, it will have a devastating impact for those retirees who rely on Social Security. I'm gonna call it like it is. Social Security is under attack, and it is under attack by Donald Trump and Elon Musk and the other billionaires in his administration," continued Congressman Boyle. "Now is the time for we, the American people to fight back."

The event highlighted the serious impacts of Musk's actions, including workforce cuts, compromised personal data, and reduced service quality at Social Security offices. Boyle reiterated his longstanding commitment to defending the program and supporting the federal workers who deliver essential services to the community.

"Reducing field offices, cutting staff, as is happening up here - this is a plan to soften the support that Social Security has around the country," said Max Richtman, President of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare. "What he's doing is undermining the support of all the people that support the program so that he can cut the program, privatize the program, raise the age for benefits, and reduce the Social Security cost of living," continued Richtman. "How else can you explain Elon Musk talking about Social Security being a Ponzi scheme?"

" We stand with Congressman Boyle here and our other friends in Congress," said Richard Gennetti, AFGE District 3 National Representative. "This is one of the most important programs that the government has ever created. It's one of the most successful and it has lifted millions of people out of poverty for several generations. To mess with it is completely foolish. The people who are messing with it have no interest in efficiency or getting rid of fraud, waste, and abuse. They simply want to destroy it so they can privatize the trust fund."
