The White House marked the 91st anniversary of the Social Security Act with a message crediting itself with eliminating federal taxes on benefits via the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, calling it the largest such tax break in history for older Americans.

It claims more than 35 million seniors have claimed an average deduction over $7,500, and cites a presidential memorandum aimed at blocking 'illegal aliens and fraudsters' from obtaining benefits.

The message pledges Social Security will remain 'unshakable' while linking the program's integrity to deportation efforts and broader affordability initiatives.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

Ninety-one years of a program built on actuarial tables, and the anniversary card arrives as a brag about a deduction and a promise that the whole thing is 'unshakable.' Unshakable is the word people use about furniture they have not tried to move. The desk notes that no press office in history has ever announced a benefit cut on an anniversary, which is precisely why anniversaries were invented.
