There are ways to battle waste, fraud, and abuse that do not resort to 'parachute into the middle of an agency, fire most of the staff and then walk away congratulating yourself because you eliminated waste, fraud, and abuse.'
Sure you lowered the spend of the agency, but you probably, by removing all the people who actively investigate/police waste, fraud and abuse, promoted more people to defraud the agency and not get caught.
Congratulations, you played yourself.
- danielktdoranie 2y agoYet the government hasn’t fallen apart. I also don’t agree witn your cartoonish assessment of how DOGE goes about eliminating waste and fraud, the blatant fraud in the Social Security Department is more than evidence of that. How many 140 year olds do you know?
- sleepybrett 2y agothere is no proven blatant fraud in the SSA, the SSA actually prevents a ton of fraud. You clearly see elon tweet some dumb shit that he DOES NOT understand, and ignore all the people that correct him. jesus expand your fucking media diet you absolute loon: https://www.marketplace.org/story/2025/02/20/150-year-olds-are-not-receiving-social-security-payments https://www.marketplace.org/story/2025/02/20/150-year-olds-a...
- SV_BubbleTime 2y agoSo the billions of dollars going out to people over age, under age, and with birthdays in the future… Those were all just made up stories to you?
- sleepybrett 2y agoSince you sight no sources I'm afraid I can't refute them. I thought tech guys were supposed to be smart.
- danielktdoranie 1y agoWhat a cop out. You're hitting that copium bong HARD anon.
- sleepybrett 1y agoI've now seen your sources... under age: https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10085.pdf https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10085.pdf "over age" (i can only assume you mean 150 year olds or whatever, dead people are getting checks): https://apnews.com/article/social-security-payments-deceased-false-claims-doge-ed2885f5769f368853ac3615b4852cf7 https://apnews.com/article/social-security-payments-deceased... "future birthdays": assuming you mean that there are records in the database, according to elon and 'BIG BALLS' that are assigned to someone who has yet to be born. However I can find no stories to support this. I expect it's typical elon musk puffery.
