Social security administration staff cuts are the final nail in the coffin for common sense! I called the local office three times this week and got a recording saying 'high call volume' before being disconnected. My neighbor, a disabled veteran, has been waiting on a benefits adjustment for five months. How exactly does slashing the staff that's already drowning in backlog help the taxpayer? They want to blame 'overspending' while buying new furniture for the DC office. Meanwhile, my 70-year-old father, who can't even use a smartphone to log into the online portal, is now expected to 'digitize' his claims. Absolute lunacy. Remember when the government actually hired people to pick up the phone and answer a simple yes-or-no question? Now we're paying consultants millions to study why wait times are up. We don't need studies; we need people who work for us.
