Howard Lutnick Has SHOCKINGLY Out Of Touch Take On Social Security

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick recently offered a chilling glimpse into the Donald Trump Administration’s indifference to Social Security’s importance “Let’s say Social Security didn’t send out their checks this month,” Lutnick said. “My mother-in-law, who’s 94, she wouldn’t call and complain.”

Perhaps the Commerce Secretary’s mother-in-law wouldn’t call. But millions of other Americans would... and not just to complain. They would call because they couldn’t pay rent, buy food, or refill essential medications.

Lutnick’s casual comment downplayed the gravity of a missed Social Security check. The comment also exposed the distance between oligarchs, the billionaire elites and others. Elites may not care if they missed a Social Security check, but for a typical Americans a missing check is a gut punch. Calls to the Social Security office would be pouring in. But no one may answer.
