The Social Security ‘waste’ and ‘fraud’ lie.

[Winco]

That is a lot maybe it’s hyperbole. How many do you think it is?

I don't have the resources, I guess we can wait for Elon to prove the numbers to us.

6,000,000 X Minimum of $12,000 per year, that's $72,000,000,000 per year.
Did Elon find $72 Billion going out to 112+ year olds?

I have no idea. Doesn’t matter to me, 1 dollar is too large a number for me

So in term of Government spending, you agree or disagree that the $3M spending for EACH trump Golf Outing, some of which goes straight into Mar-a-Lago, is too large of a number for you, considering that even $1 is too much.

The issue isn’t govt spending. It’s govt waste, fraud and abuse.

 

[Winco]

And trump golfing at $3M per outing, is indeed waste and abuse.
In terms of Fraud, it's very fraudulent to charge the tax payer, then pay have that money go into the trump fund.

 

[Crepitus]

Why would you say that?... she said she wanted to do exactly what DOGE is doing saving Medicare Medicaid and SS.... are you just ignoring the truth or what?... see what we mean by TDS?... nothing Trump does is good even if its a lifelong wish list for Democrats... that's kind of crazy dude.... I'd have more respect for you if you could admit it when Trump does a good thing...

They ain't "saving" shit except your personal info for later use.

 

[Rambunctious]

Don't you want to stop waste and fraud?... that is crazy man and you are a very small number on that issue and the border issue... so keep losing its good for America...

 

[Crepitus]

Don't you want to stop waste and fraud?.

They haven't shown any.

One person getting social security that shouldn't is wrong.

ONE?

so screw millions over one guy?

That makes sense?

 

[jknowgood]

No, let’s be clear.

I think it’s hyperbole or a flat out lie, that there are 6 million + 112 year olds collecting SS.

So you're good with someone not checking that out? Seriously are you that stupid?

 

[jknowgood]

ONE?

so screw millions over one guy?

That makes sense?

You good with fraud affecting your check? Yes or no.

 

[Winco]

So you're good with someone not checking that out? Seriously are you that stupid?

Checking it out is fine, just come back with some REAL results.

Ain't no way there are 6 Million 112+ year olds receiving SS benefits.
That would be $72 Billion in payouts each year.
Did Musk find $72 Billion, and if NOT, then he's lying to you, if true, then simply show the Documentation.

Do you believe this ^^^^ because that IS what DOGE is claiming.

 

[Winco]

You good with fraud affecting your check? Yes or no.

What FRAUD, I need to see some Documentation, not just the word of that &%^#* Press Secretary.

 

[whitehall]

Orestis is in the insurance business. He makes his living from selling junk insurance over the phone and encouraging bad insurance loans to illegal aliens and dead Americans.

 

[Lesh]

You good with fraud affecting your check? Yes or no.

One guy ain’t affecting anyone stupid

 

[WorldWatcher]

Claim: Millions over 100 years old getting social security.

Fact: 89,106 people 100 and over drawing SS in DEC 2024.

Which IIRC is pretty close to the Trump Adminstration 2020 census.

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Anyone who comments on SS, especially leftists, should look up the original SS bill and then look up what the politicians have done to it over the years. Disgusting.

 

[BackAgain]

No, it is not. You dismissed my claim, offering nothing to support your dismissal.

Elon Musk makes false claim about billion-dollar National Park survey

In a Fox News interview, Musk claimed DOGE found billions in waste — including a nearly billion-dollar National Park Service survey. No evidence supports that.

www.cbsnews.com

Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud

All they've really got is "spending that Elon Musk doesn't like."

www.publicnotice.co

No no. You made a claim. I deny it. The burden is on the proponent. None of your pussy evasive spin changes that. Support your own claim. And try to support it properly.

Either way, of course, you should still suck a bag of dicks. Again.

‘Elon Musk’s promise is based on the idea of eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse within the Social Security Administration (SSA). However, according to Chris Orestis, retirement expert and president of Retirement Genius, that premise is based on a misperception.

“There is no solid evidence that large sums are being paid to people who do not deserve them,”

he said, in line with reports published by media such as The New York Times and Associated Press.

But even in the hypothetical case that ‘extra’ funds were found, that would not allow for an automatic increase in benefits. As Orestis explained, the only mechanism for increasing Social Security payments is the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), which is calculated each year according to inflation levels. In other words, no matter how much money is “saved,” checks cannot go up unless the law allows it.

How Social Security benefits are calculated? These do not depend on the size of the trust fund or the number of employees in the SSA, but on the income that each person has had throughout their working life. To change that formula, Congress would have to pass a law, which is not on the table at the moment.’

The premise of ‘waste’ and ‘fraud’ is based not only on a misperception, it’s based on ignorance, dishonesty, and lies.

Shit, I know several people just myself who are getting disability when they don't deserve it. Hell, my exwife had back problems and her doctor offered her a note to collect disability for the rest of her life. To her credit, I applaud her for being unwilling to accept because she could still work and she wanted to.

No doubt the Democrats were stealing much of this money DOGE found in fraud. That is the only reason they’d be squealing like pigs about it.
