Letter to the editor: Kids taking over the Treasury
Share this post:
I gotta quit reading news on my phone and in newspapers. I get enraged.
I read that Elon Musk recruited six kids to help him in his Department of Government Efficiency, effectively taking over the Treasury Department and thereby Social Security.
Those kids are under 25 years old. One is 19. How does a 19- or 24-year-old know what it takes to survive long term in this world? What is their experience in life’s realities? Have they raised a family? Competed for jobs? Constantly paid bills? Taken their kids to hospitals? Buried parents and friends? Tried to live on minimum wage?
I am 81 years old and lived through these things in my lifetime. Now, a group of youngsters are going to take control of my Social Security? To what end? Well, senior citizens, if you voted Republican in this past election, you voted against your own self-interest. Politicians never do that!
