The 90th anniversary of the Social Security Act was marked with events including one hosted by Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco. Pelosi emphasized the importance of Social Security in her district, stating that 100,000 locals rely on it for $196 million monthly. President Trump acknowledged the event while criticizing the Democratic party's management of Social Security and projected fears of its potential disappearance. Pelosi rebutted Trump, calling his claims false. Personal stories highlighted Social Security’s impact, notably Dennis Billups, who described it as a crucial support system for his family.
"100,000 people depend on Social Security, and each month they receive $196 million," she said.
"We keep hearing stories that in six years, seven years, Social Security will be gone. And it will be if the Democrats ever get involved because they don't know what they're doing," Trump said.
"It's a lie. That's the response I have to Donald Trump. Once again, it's a lie. Just as it was a lie when he said Social Security was a scam. He knows it's not true," said Pelosi.
"It's a lifeline that helped us grow from kids to adults to seniors. It made sure we were able to progress in life like others," Billups said.
