Why Social Security Needs a Good Audit and Housecleaning

Since when does congress need to authorize an audit?
The IGs do audits all the time and never catch anything.

Inspector General Reports

Trump hired DOGE like Reagan hired the Grace Commission in 1984.
DOGE is hired under the President's Article 2 Authority

After DOGE files recommendations Congress can act on them, or not.

Ya'll are the ones that say the audit needs to be done.

Problem is, not only my the audit be done, but the funds need to be authorized to - you know - fix the problems.

Below is the Biden Administration audit report on SS Active Enrollees over 100 years old. (You didn't think that Musk was the first to find this problem right?). The SSA declined to implement some of the fixes because it was to expensive. They didn't have the operations budget. (You know the operations budget and the benefit budget are different right?)

Do you remember the initial Obamacare rollout? A total train-wreck. The website didn't work after years and $billions. Do you remember how it got fixed? A few Google engineers spent a week or two re-writing the code.

Point being, Musk's Whiz Kids could fix the programming in a day or two.
 
Most of the IG were fired becuase the last thing Trump wants is a watchdog agency looking over Musk and his shoulder.

Okay your turh to provide any credible source, quotation in proper context, or any other verifiable evidence you can come up with to back up a statemet like that,
 
But who is to say that all Funeral homes offer that service? Probably most at least in larger towns and cities do offer that service but they are not required to do so by law. And many--my husband and I for example--will bypass the funeral home altogether and go straight to the crematorium. We have already paid for that to be done.

The Social Security System needs a much more fool proof system to keep their record system clean and I bet the DOGE team will come up with one.
Yea, I should have said many funeral homes will do this. If not someone in the family needs to call ss.

This is good advice for all of us.
 
What if they didn't? Would the checks stop being deposited?
I should have said many funeral homes will report.

No, someone needs to call SS and report the death if they don't I suppose the checks keep being deposited. But without proof other than the OP tweet I don't believe there is anywhere near what is being stated.
 
The IG were fired because Trump does not want people watching him, all the time are still watching him from the various departments.
 
All of this BS just so the wealthy can have a tax cut...Don't forget those poor wealthy folks can fall back on 99 Billion in tax deductions that will not go away and the tax increases will be on the poor and lower middle classes.
 
Elon musk posted a chart showing the number of living social security recipients for each age group in America. This is why a good housecleaning at Social Security will be a very good thing. Reminder Social Security started in 1935--89 years ago. So the oldest recipient had she lived would be around 154 years old or so now.


Nowhere does it say thy these people are drawing money FROM Social Security.

Most likely they are either dormant accounts or numbers that illegals are using in order to obtain employment.

Note those people are PAYING IN to the system

One has to wonder how those little concepts escaped these “genius’s”.

And why he didn’t mention that few of those accounts are drawing anything from the system

You think that happens instantly? Right now you’re in the beginning of the process…

So, it’s acceptable to you to identify the problem but the agency being called out says “we’re not going to fix it”?

That should be unacceptable to all tax paying Americans…
 
I don’t blame him but you can be sure Trump and Elmo see that as an opportunity to install a corporate raider type in his place

Hold on to your hats

The ride is going to get bumpy
This isn’t political you dummy…We’re all getting ripped off.

It IS political.

It’s Elmo politically attacking virtually every agency of government.

In most cases a tweek here and a tweek there would make huge differences.

Does he propose those? No. He goes public to undermine confidence in all of them.

That’s political… ideological.

And he has no mandate to do any of that.
