Trust me on this, it's not your "property" in the same way your Title II benefits are your property.  It's considered a form of welfare, based not on your work record but on the government's beneficence.  

 

In any event, they normally don't play such benefits to those overseas more than 30 days.   And they can very much do that.  However, Title II benefits are different. 

 

Bottom line: they'd have as much luck telling you couldn't travel with Nike jogging shoes as they would telling you couldn't travel with your Title I benefits.  

 

Musk may get some mileage with the "chainsaw" nonsense, but you can bet he has very smart legal advisors who know the law and know full well they'd get nowhere in court with any kind of restriction on receiving Title II benefits overseas.  

 

 

If you're living on SSI, you ain't going anywhere, and probably on other state & federal handouts.

It's not. only the amount, which is usually minimal but the amount is sometimes supplemented by various states. It's the source of funding.  Title II benefits are funded from the Social Security trust fund and are generally considered a property right by the courts.  Title XVI benefits are funded by the government's general fund and are a creature of statute and regulation.  There's a distinction, and in legal terms. It matters for purposes of my point here.

I'm slightly concerned with the DOGE purge targeting SS checks going into foreign accounts.

There's a new Sherrif in town and he's corrupt and he is letting that Doge gang run wild.

 

If he cuts us off there's going to be a lot of "Rooftop Voters" looking to change leadership.  Common sense tells you that.  Especially if they're dying from terminal cancer, what do they have to lose?  He better hide in his bunker.

 

See you at the OK corral. 😲

 

DOGE Claims Credit for Killing Contracts That Were Already Dead
Elon Musk’s group claimed credit for canceling procurement agreements that had been completed years earlier, the latest in a string of public errors on its site.

 

Years earlier?

The Big Lie, again.

Classic KGB style propaganda.

 

Common sense tells you that people who lie aren't trustworthy and probably corrupt...

 

C'mon MAGA.

Use a little common sense.

Wait.  Oh.

If you had any you wouldn't be so gullible.

Nevermind. 😃

Social Security Checks Could Stop Going Out by April, Ex-Head Warns

 

The former head of the Social Security Administration warns that proposed cuts to the agency could lead the entire system to “collapse,” disrupting benefits payments to millions of Americans.

 

“Ultimately, you’re going to see the system collapse, and there will be an interruption of benefits,” Martin O’Malley, former Social Security commissioner under the Biden administration, told CNBC. “I think that will happen within the next 30 to 90 days.”

 

“People should start saving now,” he urged.

 

Fe fi fo fum!

 

I smell the blood of an African...

 

Immigrant.

 

Destroying America.

 

For fun and profit. 😀

Yeah, well. 

That depends.

Will Nike rebuke Trump's attempts at extortion protection money?

If so, banned by E.O.

If no judge is brave enough to rule against him (remember, they will have concentration camps and paramilitary door buster-kidnappers by then) SCOTUS refuses to take up the case, it's de facto American "law".

I'm not a lawyer, but I am available to play one on TV.

When people see how old I am they will think I've been practicing medicine uhh I mean law for decades, not days. 😄

Mexico will pay for the wall.

We will bring down the price of groceries and inflation on Day One.

We won't touch Social Security or Medicare/Medicaid.

 

Yeah right 😅

 

But you blindly trust the current Musk Mook in that job with no evidence whatsoever that SS will be functional in a few months?

 

Yikes.

 

Don't buy any bridges between Manhattan and Brooklyn.  It's probably a scam, pal.
