There are several reasons Musk wants to control Treasury payments. None of them are good.

In a Republic, actually
‘It’s barely been two weeks, but Elon Musk’s attempts to run the federal government like one of his businesses have already resulted in a level of chaos and inefficiency we’ve never before seen in Washington.

Earlier this week, the White House took a page straight out of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency’s playbook and attempted to freeze federal funding for SNAP, Medicaid and other programs working families rely on — a move so disastrous that the courts intervened and the administration had to reverse course. Musk and his allies have also been busy firing the federal workforce, offering “deferred resignations” and replacing longtime civil servants with his personal lackeys. The Office of Personnel Management, the key staffing agency for the entire federal government, is being run by a cadre of Musk cronies.

[…]

The Treasury’s payment system is responsible for delivering trillions in Social Security payments, Medicare benefits and more to millions of Americans across the country. It’s not yet entirely clear what Musk plans to do with this system, which has historically been overseen by a small number of career officials. But a few possibilities have emerged.

First, accessing the Treasury’s payment system could be a path to freezing government funding, as the administration attempted earlier this week. Musk could halt payments to programs like Medicaid, Meals on Wheels, Head Start and more, maneuvering around the courts. Musk has already directed his engineers to find ways to turn off the flow of money to programs he and President Donald Trump oppose. With the keys to the Treasury’s payment system, he can unilaterally cut off these funds right at the source.

Musk could also get his hands on the “Do Not Pay” system that lists individuals or contractors the government has blacklisted.’


The people are solely responsible for the bad government they get; the people wanted fascism, it’s fascism they’ll receive.

What did you think they meant, when Trump has been claiming outright since 2015 that he wants to "CLEAN UP THE CORRUPTION" from government?????

Just shoot all the Dems and Libs and be done with it? HA HA HA !!!!!!

Trump is starting his cleanup at the top of the ladder and working his way down.
Musk is starting at the bottom of the ladder and working his way up.

Cleaning up the corruption is MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more than just getting Chinese paid for Dems, Libs, and their lunatic flocks kicked out and imprisioned for treason.

They also have to "clean house", which means getting rid of all the useless, meaningless sham jobs, offices, and organizations out there meant to do nothing more than syhpon MORE and MORE tax dollars from us working stiffs.

And that is EXACTLY what they are doing.

Cut the fat, build the lean, as my Business instructor always told us.

If he leaves the criminals in power, they certainly aren't going to investigate themselves.

So you are willing to allow this travesty to continue David Lebryk's directive that payment approval officers at Treasury were to always to approve payments even to fraudulent groups and terrorist organizations.

These claims are blatantly false....been proven phoney and baseless. The checks keep going out and deposits realized by all these people.

another trumpisized thread by the hypocrite jones....

Celia Laydown_Bones is feeling the heat .

And poor Tommy Tithead still cannot see that Trumpfy and Elon are good Jewish Deep State buddies .

The average IQ on this Chat Site is
 
One of the false facts in the Title of this thread is that Musk or DOGE in fact has zero control over anything.

They are an ADVISORY DEPARTMENT.

They can't even order or stop an order of office supplies. They ONLY ADISE.

Strange how the Democrats do not understand the basics of how our government works.

This whole thing is truly quite remarkable. As always, one has to wonder whether the Left is stupid or anti-American. I'm beginning to think that it is BOTH.

Elon Musk and DOGE have no power to do anything. All they are doing is pointing out anomalies and problems with the current processes and procdures. For example, SS checks that are going out to people whose documentation indicates they are one hundred fifty years old, or older(!). Trillions of dollars of checks being issued with no appropriate coding to indicate what the check is for. Payments for things that are not rational, or are contrary to America's best interests.

Democrats (O'Bama, Clinton) have done similar things in the past, laying off hundreds of thousands of Federal employees in the process, being cheered on by Democrats all the while.

Today, Democrats are hyperventilating about GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES (unlike Musk, other DOGE people are on the payroll as GS employees) getting access to personal data from other government employees. And yet none of them can explain why this is illegal, or give a single example of how this might harm someone.

Sorry to point this out, but it is yet another manifestation of Trump Derangement Syndrome: no matter what happens or what Trump does, it is bad and he should be punished for it. He should be punished for giving his paycheck to charity; give me a second to figure out why this is bad.

The left could care less about waste, and fraud, as long as their party is in control, they believe it somehow gives them power, it is quite amazing and sad. Were the truth known to them, that those leftist commie politicians would kill them first, because they no longer needed them when they achieved total power, maybe they would think differently. Because were said sheep ever to understand the truth, they would be a large swath of people to try and control
