The Commerce boss says that 'fraudsters' complain about the lack of social security

Washington – The Minister of Commerce Howard Lutnick proposed this week that only “fraudsters” would complain to miss a social security check – but honest people like his mother would simply live with the fact that the government did not send their monthly payment.

“Let us assume that social security has not sent its checks this month. My mother, who is 94 years old, she would not call and complain,” said Lutnick during an appearance in “All -in” podcast. “She would think that something was messed up and she will get it next month. A fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screams, screams and complains.”

Lutnick said that the head Elon Musk, who is familiar with the Department of Government Efficiency, know the simplest way to find the fraudster, to stop payments “.

He added: “Whoever screams is the one who steals.

More than 70 million Americans receive checks for social security, including most people over the age of 65, people with permanent disabilities and surviving employees. The program, which was founded by former President Franklin D. Roosevelt after the global economic crisis, uses workers of salary checks to pay the beneficiaries a monthly amount. Many recipients of the program are dependent on the checks as the sole source of income.

“We don’t have to take a cent of someone who deserves social security, not a penny for someone who deserves Medicaid, Medicare,” said Lutnick. “We don’t have to stop sending money to someone who has not been injured who has had disability for 50 years. It is ridiculous.”

The White House did not react immediately to an inquiry about a comment on whether the Trump administration is planning to stop payments in social security. On his website it says: “President Trump will always protect social security, Medicare.”

“The Trump administration will not reduce social security, Medicare or Medicaid advantages. President Trump himself said it (over and over and over again),” says the White House on the website.

Senator Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., Breaked Lutnick on Friday evening as a bit of billionaire for his comments and defended Americans who rely on the government program.

“Secretary Lutnick: You are a billionaire,” said Sanders in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “Perhaps her mother -in -law would not complain if she didn’t get her social security check, but tens of millions of seniors who have to struggle to survive.

According to Bloomberg, Lutnick, according to Bloomberg, will have net assets of more than 1.5 billion dollars. He worked as CEO of the financial service company Cantor Fitzgerald for years.

Musk, who headed the efforts of the Trump administration to reduce government spending and reduce the federal bureaucracy, described social security as a “ponzi scheme” in an interview about Joe Rogan’s podcast.

His comments at this time solved that he would reduce government security programs such as social security, Medicare and Medicaid.

Since then, the Trump administration has announced changes to social security, in which the beneficiaries have to apply for the program online or personally and not by phone.
