Social Insecurity

It’s not the first time that Republicans have threatened to dismantle Social Security— the cornerstone program that has provided reliable financial security to American workers for nearly a century. Now, Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency has its eyes set on the third rail of American politics. This week on Trumpland, Alex Wagner speaks with agency employees in the eye of the storm as chaos ensues for them and the millions of beneficiaries who rely on these payments. Then, a conversation on the uncertain future of Social Security with the former Associate Commissioner of the Social Security Administration, and FDR’s grandson, James Roosevelt.
