Social Security Works @socialsecurityworks.org · 6d

Never in Social Security’s 90-year history has a commissioner held a second job.

But it always takes less time and effort to destroy something than to build and maintain it.

The Trump administration is allowing Social Security to rot through sabotage and neglect.

Social Security Administrator Frank Bisignano is named to the newly created position of IRS CEO

Frank Bisignano has been named CEO of the IRS, adding to his role as Social Security Administration Commissioner.

Hi Premier Smith, great comparison here for you. Alberta squandered a once in a million years opportunity. A spoiled attitude within confederation has lost Lougheed’s truly conservative Heritage path way to its leaders’ greed, Fed bashing and social extremism.

You’re welcome.
