Social Security needs a strong defense but it's a focus of budget cost cutters!  AI engines assert SS would not have a problem had the government invested excess SS contributions into Gold from the beginning.  

With SS being 22% of the total budget, this X Article (link given in comments) begins a series of D.O.G.E. articles on Social Security.

A rough estimate of the ages of people in this community.  72.7% are older than 45; 49.1% are older than 55 and 23.6% are older than 65. This makes the topic of Social Security of very high relevance in a community talking about reducing the cost of government.

If you read the conventional media, whether liberal or conservative, you get the opinion that Social Security (SS) recipients are receiving too much money. That they are the cause of the SS fund going bankrupt in the near-term future. That’s what they want you to think so that when they reduce your SS income, you won’t vote them out of office.

The truth is you’ve been robbed severely all these decades going back to the origins of SS.

Some important aside rambling.  

In a way I wish D.O.G.E. was created outside of X and to comment on it, one went through a verification process, like a blue checkmark, but once one gets it, when they post, there is no algorithm giving you a larger reach based upon any social media algorithm.

Instead, your comments should be assessed by 3 differently biased AI engines for importance, which are 100% ignorant of who the individual posting the content is.

The actual people involved with D.O.G.E. should  show their faces once in awhile, instead of acting like far distant celebrities.  

There should be virtual town halls, etc.  I don't see much solicitation or back-n-forth communication yet.  That might be intentional.  

Who knows, the DOGE might want to actually cut over 3.5 Trillion USD and reduce the national debt year after year but don't want to show this intent until after Trump takes office and his key appointees are confirmed in the Senate.

You know that Vivek knows the history of President Coolidge who a 100 years ago, year after year, each year in office, reduced the nation's outstanding debt (in the US, this last happened and only for a single year in 1957).  What are your thoughts?

Some advice for the DOGE grassroots to be heard better.  

1.  Turn on notifications (it's a bell icon) for both this community and for the writers in it you like reading.  Use the bell icon either to the left or bottom of your X pane to see among those you are following what is recently being posted.  Specific instructions are in the last several paragraphs of each X Article I publish.

2.  Encourage your followers to join the DOGE community.  Do quote posts of what you enjoy reading and click the box "share with your followers".  (It might default clicked so don't unclick it.)

3.  When you post, abide by the community rules.  We've had to hide some posts.  We don't want the X Algorithm to demote the visibility of posts in this community.

For those of you who are intent in really being heard, consider doing X Articles. (In my Articles menu on my profile page, towards the bottom is an X Articles beginner's guide to how to do them.)  

If you're really ambitious, consider using ABACUS AI which for only $10 a month gives you access to 18 AI engines (including Grok).  Instead of having to learn AI programming code (detailed prompts), it has easy to understand choice menus to facilitate how the Abacus  wrapper should massage what it finds through searching.  

There are 5-8 drawing engines there too, with popups for them.  Combined with a legacy paint program, you can do neat cover art.  In each of my X Articles for the last 20-30 of them (I have 50+ X Articles), I show how the cover art was done.

Hope to see many comments on this post.  SS is too important to let the plundering elite who have no financial worries cut into our share (a good fraction of which we'll never see, since the government treats SS like a bank account with a negative interest.  Wait until you see my future X Article comparing our SS with select other countries!
