DOGE Edict Terminates History of Social Security

This morning, 4-30-2025 at 8:57 AM PDT, I was doing research for a post I was planning to write. One of the links I was directed to while “Googling” was the Social Security Administration website’s Social Security History web page,

Here is the banner that greeted me at the top of this SSA history web page:

This means that DOGE has forced SSA to discontinue adding to or updating any information associated with the historical evolution of social security in the USA. I assume they have terminated SSA employees who created and maintained SSA history content.

Improving government efficiency is always a good goal, but the wholesale gutting of large multi-function government departments and agencies in less than 100 days is imprudent at best and destructive at worst.

DOGE is like a home improvement consultant you hire (vote for) to come in, assess what needs to be cleaned up or out, then, after approval, execute the cleanup.

But without getting your (the American People's) prior approval, this consultant and his minions remove old furniture you love. They remove paintings from your walls that they don’t like. They root through your drawers and closets looking for old clothes and possessions they believe you should no longer need. Then, they pile it all in your backyard, pour gasoline on the pile, and strike a match. When you complain, they point to their proposal (Project 2025) for the work they said they would do if you hired them (voted for them). They look confused and tell you, “What are you complaining about? We are doing what we said we would do (Project 2025).” While the leader of the consulting company (Donald J. Trump) states he knew nothing about the details of the written proposal (Project 2025).
