Social security administration staffing cuts cause benefit delays, as common sense says fewer workers means longer waits for your money.
Another brilliant decision from the suits in Washington. They slash staff at the Social Security Administration, and now my elderly neighbor, Margaret, can't get through on the phone for three weeks to sort out a simple paperwork issue. She's been waiting on hold for hours, only to get disconnected. My own brother, who just turned 65 and paid into the system for 45 years, is told his first benefit check is "delayed due to processing capacity." Don't these clowns realize cutting people means slower service? It's just common sense. You can't run a railroad with half the crew and expect the trains to run on time. These are real people, real seniors, waiting for their money to buy groceries or pay for medication. It's about time someone with a brain remembered that government isn't a business, it's a service.
