No surprise,that Social Security is running out !

[ironglow]

  DOGE has found 4.7 Trillion waste in the SS system.  Checks being sent monthly, tyo people from 110 to 360 years old.

  It looks like congress has been using the SS fund like their piggy bank for special projects, since it was set up in 1935.

  Now it looks like perhaps millions have been robbing the fund regularly every month... could it be an"inside job" ?

Yet the democrats are always the first to whine about SS when there is talk about doing something to fix it. We have found out there is obviously something behind the whining. We are starting to see why our debt is 36 trillion, and the democrats are pissed Trump is finding out where its all going.

 Rush Limbaugh said it 20 years ago, maybe more. The biggest ponzi scheme to have ever been established. My dad paid into it almost from the beginning, he was born in 1918, and with just a short overseas South Pacific trip from 1942-1945 courtesy of the USMC, and passed away before his 64 birthday, only collected for a little over a year. How many tens of thousands over the years has that happened to? Only reason that it's running out is they've been taking from it for decade's. I just hope that Trump/Musk and the ''Big Balls'' boys puts a few of the thieves behind bars. Gitmo with the illegals is sounding better every day.

When I lived "up north" I would tap maple trees for sap to make maple syrup. I would usually collect sap in the morning before work. One week the temps were high (40degrees) and the yield was low. Long story short, a neighboring landowner was collecting my sap, an hour before I was. Once I figured it out, I could put a stop to it. Much like what's been going on with Social Security, once DOGE figures it out we can put a stop to it.
I really think some prison terms are in order, though.

  So today we have a crop of "sap stealers" in Washington !

  As with Gypsyman, my Dad worked all his life and passed away at 55.

Holding out hope that with DOGE they get some things straightened out with SS.

One thing I'm darn tired of hearing is that somehow all the money I was forced to pay into SS over the decades of working into a system that returns nowhere near what I could have earned investing it on my own is a benefit? What benefit? That's my hard earned money that's being returned to me afterwards and odds are I'll never get back back near what I paid into it.

It will get fixed. At least they found out already about the thousands over 120 years old getting checks sent to them. Will take a bit more time I think to get all the fraud weeded out, but Trump, Elon, and Vevek will get-er-done.

Trump said last night they are considering giving 20% of all fraud found, back to American tax payers. I think what pisses off the democrats most about Elon is his extraordinary intelligence. Especially when most of them have the intelligence of a sack of hammers.   

3.6 million people 110-119 years old getting SS
4.7 million people 120-129 years old getting SS
3.9 million people 130-139 years old getting SS
3.5 million people 140-149 years old getting SS
1.3 million people 150-159 years old getting SS
120,000 people over 160 years old getting SS
1,000  people 220-229 years old getting SS
1 person 240-249 years old getting SS
and even 1 person 360 years old getting SS
