Alex Padilla bawls into the cameras with phony claim that Trump is cutting Social Security
By Monica Showalter
It's one thing to bawl into the camera about budget cuts that are happening.
But Sen. Alex Padilla likes to get all lugubrious about cuts that aren't happening.
He's a pawn of whichever Mighty Integral is running the Democrats, so being a good foot soldier, one among many on the talking points list, he has taken up whining as his best way to Get Trump.
Needless to say, this is gross.

Instead of confront Trump head on, Padilla went back to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's recent remarks stating that the recently passed Big Beautiful Bill would open the door to privatization of accounts for younger savers, which would give them a 10% return on their years of savings, not a 0% return, or negative return, which is what the newly retired get now from publicly administered Social Security.
