If you think there is no waste, fraud, abuse or corruption in the federal government – like many democrats who want to stop Elon Musk And the government’s ministry of effectiveness continues to tell us – think again.
After only a few weeks, the evidence rises and the figures increase.
Let me start with Discovery of Mr. Musk’s social security databasePosted on its profile on X, that 20.7 million beneficiaries are over 100 years old – including 3.9 million in the age group from 130 to 139. More than 3.5 million in the range from 140 to 149. And more than 1.3 million in the fork from 150 to 159.
Seriously, is someone believe that these people are still alive?
The former director of Social Security Administration has desperately attempted to keep Doge outside Social Security. No wonder, if a large part is a scam.
How much?
Well, Robert Sterling – A veteran of the Marine Corps, former specialist in mergers and acquisitions at Koch Industries, and current managing partner at EV Partners – calculates that about 522 billion dollars, which represents a third of all safety expenses social every year, could be fraudulent.
He arrives at his estimate by calculating that the American census says that there are 101,000 centenarians living. The average monthly advantage is around $ 2,100, twelve months, is equivalent to $ 522 billion – or a third of all social security expenses. It’s amazing.
Now, the Doge People will examine all these figuresBut something is surely fraudulently negligent in the Social Security Administration.
The former president of the Newt Gingrich Chamber calls corruption to the government on “Kudlow”.
And there will be much more.
A few billion dollars in the Housing and Urban Development Department have been “moved” and recovered by DOGE.
The administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, Lee Zeldin, discovered a black box of $ 20 billion at the agency which should not be spent.
The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page cited a government government report last spring which estimated that the federal government could lose between $ 233 billion and $ 521 billion per year for fraud.
The GAO previously estimated between $ 100 and $ 135 billion in fraudulent pandemic unemployment benefits.
Even the IRS took a break in processing tax credits on the retention of pandemic employees because they climbed more than $ 230 billion and counting at the start of $ 55 billion.
Believe it or not, the Ministry of Health and Social Services last year estimated that $ 85 billion in inappropriate payments to Medicare and Medicaid – although, of course, they did nothing.

And the The Doge team has only just started. But you know that the growing battery of fraud and corruption will continue to grow.
There has not been a real financial audit for a long time. A long time ago, President Clinton and Vice-President Gore tried him. Even President Obama spoke about it.
But the key point is that with the jet fuel of Mr. Musk which leads to the process, President Trump The audit will be implemented.
And legal researchers point out that the Musc team is made up of people named politicians who, of course, are now federal employees – and must be allowed to do their job.
You can bet they will do exactly that. And that’s exactly what people voted for.
