But she was not forced to leave the agency. That was her choice. It was the White House’s choice to not let her be head of the agency anymore.” Explain to me why Elon Musk, a man I did not elect and has no Senate confirmation, is allowed to access my personal information. It isn't about government efficiency, it is about data mining and silencing critics. We are not on the cusp of a crisis, we are in free fall in the middle of a crisis. Quote In an interview with Fox News, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Trump "has directed Elon Musk and the DOGE team to identify fraud at the Social Security Administration." She said that while the team had not "dug into the books," it suspected that widespread fraud was occurring. The SSA's inspector general released a report in July that found that from 2015 to 2022, only 0.84% of benefits payments were improper.

I will wait to see this info analyzed and to see where this money ends up because taking it from here is one thing, where does it go is another. I think the other thing that is hard to tell right now is how much of an impact some of these cuts will have, I don't think you can label all of this as "waste" when the details on some of them are minimal. On this we agree. I look forward/hope to details being made public.

So far everything, EVERYTHING, DOGE has “reported” and what their Congressional lackeys have trumpeted about SS has been wrong, if not a flat out lie.
LGR4GM Posted Wednesday at 12:49 AM Report Posted Wednesday at 12:49 AM DOGE again fires people they shouldn't. It's because they have no ***** clue what they are doing and are just running an algorithm to identify and fire ppl. If this happened under Biden, there would have been wall to wall coverage.
