just think about an asshole like this being your vice president

Just to be clear, that was about a coding error. No cheques were deposited for people who the system has as 150 years old.

However, between fiscal years 2015 and 2022, which includes Trump's first presidency, the Social Security Administration sent almost $71.8 billion in improper payments, according to a July 2024 agency inspector general report.

And I respect the inspector generals report for an agency that had no clue there were literally millions of enrollees who are dead or never existed?  No, I don't.

I want to start seeing these fraudulent payments traced, not just for Social Security, but for all this obvious fraud and graft, and I want to see prosecutions, convictions and people thrown in prison for this shit.

The people over 150 are still in the system, but I don't think any are getting cheques deposited.

What's the average annual income for a waitress in applebees?

was it 2.4 or 2.5 billion? I cannot recall

Is that how KM got so rich? Waiting tables?

No.. but there are games you can play with the numbers within the system so that a hammer suddenly costs the program half a million dollars and coffee cups are sudden costing more than 250K a piece

That's how Warren Buffet did it.

Ottawa is like that too.

It will be traced. We'll find out.  Then the prosecutions must begin.

I read 24,000 people have received benefits after they died, but for how long, I don't know.

My guess is there will be a lot of cases where someone died and their family member just kept collecting the checks every month.  I think there will be other cases where the payee was never even a real person to begin with and was fraudulent from the get go.

Trump talking about eliminating federal income tax on people earning less than $150K /yr is free money for billionaires.

 Yeah that's a common lefty statement.

 Somehow helping low income people is always "giving money to billionaires".

 They never explain how. They just throw it out there.

 Exactly.

 We had people on the voter list who were born in 1902 and their ballots were marked as recieved in 2020.

 They are still listed....fine. It should get cleaned up. But your vote is only marked received when you've voted.

But can the US afford it?

I highly doubt it Shen Li Shen.

Even a nation as wealthy as the United States.

Likewise I thought Kamala Harris's idea of giving away $25,000 US ($40,000 Canadian) for 1st homeowners was loony as well.

Just adds to the deficits.

Nothing should be given away that a nation can't afford. Tax cuts for the rich or extravagant social programs.

At least Ralph Klein in your province of Alberta only gave out rebate cheques when the deficits got paid down. People hated him for his budget cuts but at least he got the debt down. He was that old fashioned type who only spent what was in the kitty.

Btw Klein was originally a member of the Liberal party til he switched to being a conservative.

 Thats why all the wasteful spending is being dealt with.
