Of course there is waste. Nothing runs with 100% efficiency.
You claim a huge scale of fraud, "multiple hundreds of billions of dollars" which we can bound as
200/7000 - 900/7000
Or something roughly in the range of 3-12%.
So, not exactly invisible. Probably pretty findable.
Where is the evidence of these "multiple hundreds of billions of dollars"? If you are going to go about it from individual fraudulent SS recipient upwards, you will be looking for fraud forever. A liftetime of SS is, what, $100,000? So, like 0.00005% of the amount of fraud you claim?
If this is how DOGE is going about it, IT WOULD BE THE LEAST FUCKING EFFICIENT GOVERNMENT PROGRAM EVER.
This is not how you find fraud. This is not how you audit. This is a smash and grab job, orchestrated by the most wealthy human and most powerful elected official on the planet.
This is NOT democracy. This is Autocracy.
