The apparent fact that the new Social Security commissioner, up until recently, had no idea what his job entailed does not inspire confidence.
First Frank Bisignano tries to pass himself off as:
“fundamentally a DOGE person,”
which sets off alarms for those who don’t want Social Security cut, so Bisignano
took steps to distance himself from DOGE-imposed changes at the Social Security Administration
but
Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon produced a statement from a purported whistleblower, who claimed that Bisignano had personally intervened to get key DOGE officials involved at the agency
Now that he is on the job, he admits that
he wasn’t familiar with the position and had to look it up online.
Bisignano said: “So, I get a phone call and it’s about Social Security. And I’m really, I’m really not, I swear I’m not looking for a job. And I’m like, ‘Well, what am I going to do?’ So, I’m Googling Social Security. You know, one of my great skills, I’m one of the great Googlers on the East Coast.”
