    Bunk. The SSA, SSI and social security administration are out of touch with reality.
    they can’t see in front of them. Its easer to look back and start going in another direction. Give the American people what they want. NO BS.

    They said it happens every few years. I’m sure he wasn’t in office all the other times. But you are one that wants to blame him insted of knowing the truth.

    I certainly hope this is just a conspiracy theory! My bills are not going to wait; I will receive late fees on every one of them! Another Trump decision?
