Social Security chief 'will ensure' agency survives 'the next 90 years, at least'

The new head of the agency responsible for administering Social Security and Medicare said Sunday he plans to make sure the agency survives well into the 2100s.

In a Sunday interview, Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank Bisignano said the Trump administration and lawmakers plan to make major changes focused on cutting waste and fraud with the goal of keeping the trust funds behind Social Security and Medicare solvent.

“We have no intent to break a system that can be improved,” Bisignano said during an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” “That team will get together, along with Senate and Congress, will ensure that this is here for the next 90 years, at least,” he said.

Bisignano was confirmed May 6 by the Senate to lead the Social Security Administration (SSA) after decades on Wall Street as the CEO of Fiserv and other top positions at major U.S. banks. Senate Democrats staunchly opposed Bisignano’s confirmation over fears about the Trump administration’s plans for Social Security and Medicare.

Either to current recipients, or future workers. They will also throw everyone with a Hispanic name off of it.

4. Bisignano was confirmed May 6. After saying that he ensures Social Security's survival, is he now targeted for firing?

Oh did I say "Democrats"? I meant "radical far-left Marxist communist terrorist MS13-loving losers".

Why do this? Because it's their nature.
