Is the claim that the SSA is cutting checks to these corpses? My understanding is this was primarily a data entry control failure (SSA employees enter wrong birth dates). The SSA OIG (not DOGE) discovered this years ago and changed their controls as a result. They didn’t go through and change the birthdates due to the cost of doing so (waste). It’s too bad Elon doesn’t include a third column indicating payments made.

This is what an audit report looks like. Hopefully Elon provides an audit report with a high level of assurance to the taxpayers funding these DOGE audits. Furthermore, anyone frauduently cashing these checks should be brought to justice and whipped.

This is one thing that concerns me about DOGE (Elon) releasing these findings. He drops these bombs and doesn’t really provide specifics or actual $ details. People jump to conclusions. But this math ain’t mathing because $400B/year would have broken social security long ago. There are 70M SS recipients. I find it hard to believe 28% of those are erroneous people over 100 years old. Gov is inefficient but I don’t think they are THAT bad

Then again as I type this, if DOGE’s findings were false or exaggerated, then why is the argument that they don’t have the authority. Seems if the DOGE is wrong the logical argument would be to actually show their errors

The audit report states 139,211 people over 100 are reporting 8.5 billion in income, but it’s difficult to find the fraud. Only if you don’t want to!

I'm waiting for folks go before congress and start testifying under oath. Lets see some names and criminal charges. If that doesn't happen, they'll just find other areas to funnel money to.

If folks are cashing fraudulent SS checks, should be real easy to start arresting them.

Yes what doge is doing sounds and looks good but until they take this process to the next level I think many of us will become real believers. (Hopefully)

Probably 10 times that many dead people between 80 and 100 drawing checks.

[Man]

Don't know how true this is but heard that Trump is planning to give some of this money back to American people.

Whos going to pay it back? Are they going to pay it back from taxes they take from us going forward? Find who the money went to and make them pay it? Print more money?

Suspending congress pay would be a good start

BREAKING: President Trump announces he is exploring a DOGE dividend, where American taxpayers will receive checks with money saved by DOGE. "[We are considering] a new concept where we give 20% of the DOGE savings to American citizens and 20% goes to paying down debt."

Fugg that! Keep my part and throw some mf in jail!

Our deficit is like 37 trillion, I would hope he would send those checks toward the national debt. Sending every American a check at this point is like going shopping with the light bill money.

Show me the real math behind the money saved, not just X posts by Harry Bolz. Because until this is proven and folks start getting convicted this seems like a publicity stunt and smoke screen to print more $

[Artos]

Sigh, calm down Karen :-) I'm just sharing what I find. How is an X post that Harry Bolz posted any different than Fox sharing the same exact 411 / vid?? You are becoming a testy GOF.

I don't want anything but people going to jail & the deficit fixed myself...I think trump is trolling the left so DOGE can continue to do its thing. How is Schumer going to vilify giving a portion of the savings back to the people??

I can tell you the interwebs is full of Govt teat folks complain about getting **** canned & legacy media is trying to make Elon a monster...supposedly there are going to be 6-7k irs agents fired soon. Baby steps man, this isn't a bad thing until it proves to be a bad thing.

Lighten up a little, it's going to be a long 4 years...would you have rather have potus kamala posts??

I’d much rather see a rate cut in every tax bracket of AT LEAST 5%, made permanent. A one time small check just goes to the people who don’t pay much tax already. Let’s see something meaningful for the folks that actually pay taxes.

[diamond10x]

Not quite a month in and nothing is happening

All the findings from the curtains being pulled back is sure going to make a strong argument to significantly lower taxes or eliminate income taxes all together.

More Harry Bolz...I don't know what this guy is referring to about foreign alcohol as I've lived on the border all my life & the only time I crossed back from mexico & didn't pay taxes on hooch was when it wasn't claimed??
