DOGE finds over a billion-a-week in fraudulent SS payments

What are you 14 years old? Trump is deliberately tanking the economy. Any reasonable economist told us what would happen if Trump went for tariffs. He is cranking them up now, That is how you wreck the economy. Why is he doing that?

I don't really care, Margaret.
 
In the latest finding by DOGE, over $100 billion in payments a year are being made to persons--presumably--with no social security number, taxpayer ID number, or other identifying documentation on record. Of that, Treasury workers say that at least $50 billion--a billion a week--is paid out to fraudulent claims. This has been ongoing, and if it's even remotely true, first it's insane, and second, there are lots of people in government jobs that need to be fucking fired on the spot for letting it happen.



Meanwhile, over in the MSM, outlets like CBS are whining that Musk has access to the data on treasury accounts and how horrible that is.


Well, if $50 billion or $100 billion, or whatever the number is, of our tax money is being given away to persons unknown fraudulently and nobody up to now could figure it out at Treasury, I say fire the bastards. As for CBS et. al., they can fuck off.
This always comes out not to be true later, I am sure they are saving some money, but not the numbers they are suggesting. Typical Felon.

Musk has been known to exaggerate, aka lie, about what DOGE actually accomplished.

Government agencies already had independent inspector generals and fraud detection divisions long before Musk showed up.

I wouldn't be surprised if Musk just takes credit for the fraud identified by IGs and existing fraud detection programs.
