That headline makes it sounds like the Trump administration is somehow suffering from this. They aren’t; the public is. And that was pretty clearly the plan. They’re going to say, “We didn’t cut your benefits, the incompetent Social Security Administration is keeping you from getting them”.
This is being replicated across every social program the government operates. Except for the many giveaways that benefit the rich. Those will remain well-funded and well-staffed.
