I feel our democracy is under attack because of DODE's threat to our beloved Social Security

[IDIOCRACY]

Speaking as a life long devoted Democrat, I feel it's more important we simply get our checks uninterrupted and as is, in-spite of any so-called fraud. Here's a report from August 2024. Is it pre-Trump or post Trump? I just get confused. All I know is, Trump and Musk shouldn't be cleaning up any perceived mess, because our democracy is at stake and things like that.

"From FYs 2015 through 2022, SSA estimates it made nearly $72 billion in improper payments, most of which were overpayments. While this is less than 1 percent of the total benefits paid during that period, at the end of FY 2023, SSA had an uncollected overpayment balance of $23 billion."

Stop the democrat fearmongering. No one is going to miss a check. In fact, once the Democrat fraud is exposed and cut off, Social Security checks will get bigger...

I wonder if the dems will vote against that too?

Hopefully it's in the one big beautiful Bill.

You got that right. He stole the election from Hillary and Kamala, grabbed them by the puss.

Wouldn't have been a problem if Hillary hadn't murdered JFK jr.

He could have given the Democrat Party a decent image.

But instead the pushed a homosexual communist, an evil witch, and a cocaine addict down our throats.

That's over 8 years. So $9 Billion per year.

Annual payouts for SS Retirement are about $1.2 TRILLION per year.

9,000,000,000 / 1,200,000,000,000 = .00075

That means that Annually the SSA accurate 99.25% of the time.

And those over payments include those where funds was "clawed back" after payment. For example. Someone dies mid-month after receiveing a check. The SSA receives the notification at a later point in time and they take the money back that was an overpayment.

So the accuracy is even better than 99.25%.

The Director at the SSA pegged their accuracy at 99.7%.

As a data guy dealing with people, hitting high 99 percent accuracy is pretty good.

I'm closing in on 70 and I have heard for decades that those big bad republicans were going to take social security away.
