Q: What does this have to do with DOGE?

A: Not a ******* thing.

These are payments made under The Social Security Fairness Act, signed into law on January 5, 2025, which eliminated the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) rules.

Biden was still president on January 5th.

trump appointed a new acting commissioner of the SSA, Michelle King, on January 20th. She resigned on February 16th.

The current commissioner, Frank Bisignano, was named as trump's appointee in December, but on January 28th, his nomination was withdrawn, but then later restored. The senate finally confirmed him on May 6th and he was sworn in on May 7th.

So...yeah...somebody estimated it would take longer than it did. That's it. That's the story.

lol!

"Muh Trump, muh TDS, ahhhhhhh"

Tom is a one trick pony.

Didn't take long to trigger Tom after the outage, did it?

Tom, have you ever considered anger management classes?

Why would I be angry?

All I did was once again show you how idiotic you look by ****-posting a right-wing twitter troll without doing an ounce of research or applying any thought.

Sure, Jan.

Well, then, explain what DOGE did or what role they played in this, or which Democrats were saying this wasn't going to get done, etc.. I'm all ears.

As if Andy owes Tom an explanation

Well, I'm the one who wanted the pool. We had an old growth forest for a backyard. What a tree removal company wanted to do that work ($900 a tree) would have cost $39,600. That is 3 times what the pool cost back then, for a concrete heated large pool.

I did it with my already paid for chainsaw, and the lumber company paid me to haul them all away. Piece of cake.

You selfish basterd - you are putting illegals out of work!

Ha, that was LONG before we actually had many illegals. 45 years ago.

You missed the point, as usual. I post what I want. I don't take orders as to what to post or what questions to answer. If you read the comments under the original tweet, you should be able to answer the questions yourself.

Having said that, it's likely that DOGE system changes helped get this work done earlier than expected, but I actually placed it here b/c I didn't want to start a new thread. And plenty of Dems have been claiming that the DOGE cuts would hamper production, not make it more efficient.

But I'm not going to go back and search for specific quotes. If you don't understand that "narrative," you haven't been paying attention.

Nobody is questioning your right to post whatever you want, and for whatever reason you want.

But when YOU post something, that's seen as something YOU are affirming unless you state otherwise. So of course, it's going to be seen as you saying that DOGE had something to do with this.

And I did read some of the responses under that tweet. But from what I understand about Twitter, their algorithm determines which tweets you see and how they are arranged. So I'm not going to see what you see. And further, a bunch of random people posting replies under a tweet proves nothing.

And while you're free to believe that DOGE system changes helped this process, I'm also free to assert that I don't believe they did. Especially since the tweet you posted doesn't even make that claim.

Hence why I am asking, what specifically has DOGE done that lead to this being completed ahead of schedule according to the SSA?

Again, you misunderstood. I'm not sure if DOGE had anything to do with that or not. I just didn't feel like starting a new thread.

As for posting tweets, that's an ongoing debate here. I post dozens of tweets a day, if not more. I do it b/c I find the comment or subject matter interesting. I usually agree with the content, but not always.

At any rate, I'm not going to vet every tweet before I post it. I simply take the X post as raising a subject that would be pertinent to discuss here.

Did you forget he reserves the right to post as many lying tweets as he wants and then go “I didn’t say that, I just posted a tweet”.
