The line began to train outside the social security office in the suburbs of Glendale, Arizona, shortly after sunrise, dozens of retirees and disabled people, mixing papers, some relying on walkers, all anxious to know if the overhaul of the government of President Trump had put their security networks in danger.
At 9 a.m., an employee left the building with leaflets asking the crowd to return – once he made an appointment.
“I called for days!” A woman shouted.
“We came from afar,” said another. Another still informed everyone that they had received a berth load, although it used a more colorful term.
With the stock market stock market in the threatened disorders, the beneficiaries could consider their monthly social security controls as predictable in the middle of chaos out of Washington. After all, Trump promised not to reduce social security benefits for the 73 million Americans registered.
But this promise has not isolated the program of the era of depression once considered the third rail of American policy. Thousands of worried and frustrated beneficiaries have confused local field offices, asking why the telephone lines are blocked, if their local offices will be closed by the Elon Musk software engineers and technology managers and if they will lose their advantages.
The waves of redemptions and the early retirees have hampered staff in many local offices, and the recipients say that it has become more difficult to use the agency’s website and telephone systems, or even be seen in person.
