There's so much happening in politics right now. So red wine and blue is here to ask,

okay, but why? It has become clear to me that since Elon Musk's doge took over the Social Security

administration last month that this administration is intent on dismantling Social Security.

Now, President Trump understands that Americans love Social Security, and so he's claimed that his administration won't touch Social Security.

But that is not what is happening, and Americans can see it.

Social Security is an American institution. After decades of

working hard, we expect to retire with a well-earned safety net to help us with our monthly expenses.

Trump and Elon Musk claim that Social Security is rife with corruption and fraud. Musk told podcaster Joe Rogan that it's the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time.

But whenever unbiased nonpartisan groups study the numbers, they find very little fraud.

Instead, they find millions of people who rely on those payments for their very survival.

It's particularly important for women and people of color.

Like Nadine, a grandmother in Ohio, she had to move in with her son and daughter-in-law

because of cuts to her social security.

And I don't think it's fair that the older people work all of their life,

and then they have to give their home up because they can't afford to live here.

The social security cuts have affected Nadine so much that at age 73, she's going back to work

at the Revere School District as a part-time custodian.

Or Ebby, a man who was active with his grandkids and his job helping children at a local hospital

until he was diagnosed with kidney failure.

My life without Social Security would mean that I could not afford rental care.

You know, the health care that I'm currently receiving,

I couldn't afford it.
