DOGE Catch-All

[Bigs23]

Tens of millions? That sounds a bit on the high side. That would mean roughly 1 in 4 people receiving benefits is dead.

It’s more bullshit.

 

[Enigma94]

Tell huge lie. Sycophants and media sanewash the lie to make it sound like a legitimate concern. Huge lie becomes part of the zeitgeist.

 

[BlooVooDoo]

They should stop these payments immediately.

 

[Ramrouser]

So you are against making sure? His investigation shows 13M of SS recipients are 120+ in age. Let’s wait and see his data. He catches rockets with chopsticks so I’m willing to give him a shot.

His investigation didn't show 13M SS recipients are 120+ in age. It showed his team of tech bros doesn't understand COBOL programming.

If they haven’t dug into the the books how would they arrive at that figure? 13 million would be almost 20% of all (69 million) SS recipients. Sounds to me like a load of bullshit thrown out there to fire up gullible people. You bought it so it seems to have worked.

I am going to assume based on projection rules, that Trump is still getting SS checks for his dead parents.

 

[BillOfRights]

considering her husband is drawing social security, those payments are probably protected.

I’ll give you 10:1 odds there aren’t 13M 120 year olds receiving SS. You name the stakes. I’ll cover up to $100,000 (against $10,000). I’ll let @Rock or @nycfan hold the money.

Would you agree they need to be transparent and show receipts? They haven’t done so as yet and all their wild claims are getting debunked by the minute. But because it’s your team you’re pretty unconcerned, eh?

 

[CFordUNC]

So if Elon has found all of this fraud, why isn’t he in front of a grand jury presenting evidence instead of shitposting on X? Oh…right….

 

[Mulberry Heel]

To all those who keep saying that Trump 2.0 and his buddy Elon aren't going to touch Social Security, this is nothing more than Elon's opening salvo to make a major change in Social Security. It's coming, no matter how many Trumpers keep their head in the sand and pretend it's not going to happen. Our new billionaire overlords can't get the tax cuts they want without doing something to cut Social Security.

 

[Patb78]

I don’t see how that’s even remotely possible. When my parents died, the funeral home sent notice to SS that they had passed. As a matter of fact, SS took back the payments they received for the month they died. Unless you’ve got hundreds of dishonest funeral homes, there is no way this is possible. A final note. A family member works at the funeral home that handled their funerals.

 

[Rock]

[Mulberry Heel]

It really is telling that even though Trumpers firmly control every branch of the federal government and there's not a damn thing that Democrats can do about it, that right-wing outlets like Fox News still whine and complain 24/7 that the Democrats are opposing and trying to block Trump (and Elon and Project 2025's) agenda. They all desperately need to believe that they are still the heroic underdogs taking on the all-powerful Deep State and evil LibDems. The fact that they are now the "Deep State" (whatever that means) and that they are clearly able to do whatever the hell they want and Democrats can't stop them doesn't matter. They still need that Democratic bogeyman/strawman to be outraged by and complain about. If Democrats vanished they still wouldn't be happy, they'd just turn on one another like a pack of dogs. Having something and someone to constantly attack and point fingers at is second nature to them.

Top Social Security official steps down after disagreement with DOGE over sensitive data

The top official's departure is the latest in a wave of exits from senior officials whose agencies have come into the crosshairs of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.

www.nbcnews.com

"Altman said some of the information involved in the dispute included Americans’ bank information, social security numbers, earnings records, marital statuses, dates of birth and in some cases medical records if a person has applied for disability benefits."

 

[1moretimeagain]

Can DOGE take a look at all the PPP/etc money that went to business owners whose businesses weren’t negatively impacted by the pandemic?

You know, I think even you know this is bullshit. You feel compelled to JCD your team and this is what happens when it's impossible.
