$4.7T untraceable

Thanks for confirming that the original report was a lie.
Also 100% of USAIDs programs have to be approved line item by line item. They go through 4 approval processes INCLUDING 2 by the Congressional oversight committees. Why the f-ck were they not stopped then if they were fraud?
 
Could be. A lot of young women married old Civil War soldiers. Visiting the farm where Stonewall's arm was buried the guide said the owner married like an 18-year old when he was 80. My battlefield travelling buddy was deeply impressed.

Oh, I know.

I'm trying to find a link saying how many of these claimed payments to 120-year-old recipients were being made to the same accounts during Trump's first term, when those "recipients" would have been merely a youthful 115-years-old.

It defies reality to suggest that such accounts only sprang up during Biden's administration without existing during previous administrations.
Straw man much?

Who claimed inept governance 'sprang up' only during the Big Guy's administration?
 
Karoine Leavitt states there are 10’s of millions of dead people that are receiving social security payments! Obviously we need to end this fraud.

Because our elected officials are complicit in the fraud.
 
This is unbelievable if true. What are they hiding?

So surely they would have released examples of this right? A specific timeline of the untraceable funds (i.e, when and what amount)?

Quite an extraordinary claim to make and I'm hoping that DOGE provides some back up for this claim.

I would also point out that the actual language from DOGE states "n the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible."

In other words, it wasn't untraceable.

It has all the charm of the election being rigged stuff.

Good catch on the almost, so it is almost possible fraud

Worthwhile to point out as to the TAS, DOGE noted "[a]s of Saturday, this is now a required field, increasing insight into where money is actually going." Stated differently, there was insight into where money was going, but clearly DOGE lacked the expertise to sort through it.

And because the wunderkinds at DOGE walked in without knowledge of the system and couldn't immediately figure it out, people panic that it is proof of massive fraud and waste.

There is no problem with increasing insight, if using the code helps it helps. Do it by all means. But to go from there to proof he's uncovered a crisis is just trying to declare victory before the jump ball.
 
I had plenty of time to plan, and canceling SS was at the top of my mental checklist. I was juggling a lot of balls and the last thing I wanted to deal with was an overpayment.
As I recall, our funeral director applied to the VA to get some sort of tiny cash death benefit and also a brass plaque (commemorating my father's veteran status) that screws onto the back of his tombstone. And, once the VA becomes aware that the veteran has passed, it informs SS, Medicare, etc. of the death.

The most interesting part of that process was when the VA electronically retrieved the last monthly payment it had made to dad's account a couple weeks earlier (called Aid and Attendance maybe?), explaining that he wasn't entitled to that last payment because he hadn't lived long enough into the subsequent month. Weird!!

I had been tipped off this retrieval might happen so I had placed some extra money into his account and no checks bounced.
