Biden Criticizes Trump's Social Security Policies

In his first major public speech since leaving office, former President Joe Biden criticized the Trump administration's handling of the Social Security Administration, accusing it of causing significant harm to millions reliant on federal benefits. Biden condemned the recent layoffs of over 7,000 staff members and policy shifts, likening the administration's approach to a reckless 'move fast, break things' mentality. He warned that these changes could undermine the Social Security system and suggested they were a pretext for further tax cuts. Despite not naming Trump directly, Biden's remarks were part of a broader critique of the administration's governance, emphasizing the need to preserve Social Security as a 'sacred promise.' While Biden's speech drew responses from conservatives, Trump has reiterated his commitment to preserving Social Security benefits. The Social Security Administration has refuted Biden's claims, asserting that recent changes are aimed at improving services.
