Der Muskenjugend have infiltrated the Social Security Administration. That could be the weak spot in their plans to radically downsize the government. The existing downsizing could take months or even years to be felt by the public at large - though the number of air traffic incidents could claim their attention - but if seniors miss a Social Security check, that could be huge.
Yglesias's big blind spot when writing about Trump is that he assumes that policy is the reason why Democrats lost. It seems possible to me that the reason Democrats lost is that America isn't ready for a female president, and that includes quite a lot of female voters. However, his point that Trump moved away from the economic platform of Paul Ryan is probably sound. Part of that was not touching Senior Entitlements. Elon Musk, being in many ways an idiot, has no such compunctions.
I'd hate to see the misery that would be caused by people missing crucial checks, but as I've said repeatedly, America has fucked around and they are going to have to find out.
