"It will be my objective
to phase out Social Security, to pull it out by the roots."
— Elon Musk

The co-president who of course receives $Billions in subsidies from the US government has spoken.

Whether this can actually be done is another thing.

I got surpRised when I visited New York in the early 80s and stayed with a friend who was ill and on welfare. I was surprised at how generous the payments were compared to the UK.

He received both State and Federal payments but he also reckoned you needed a college education to fill in the forms.

There must be tens of millions of Yanks on welfare which is money pumped straight into the economy which is far better than spending $Billions sending rockets to a useless red rock called Mars.

I wonder if Musk and Trump will fall out at some stage.
