>DOGE Has 10 Staffers at Social Security in Hunt for Dead People
Hey if you guys are interested in hunting for dead people, you’re always free to check out the organizations USAID cut funding to. Lots of dead people you can trace now!

>Social Security benefits are either going to get cut or they’re not. If they get cut, people will notice. If they don’t get cut, no money will be saved and the bond market will notice. If Trump were running for office, the point of the lying would be to put the incumbent president on the defensive about why he’s not fixing this. But he is the incumbent president, and he’s not going to be able to fix the problem because the problem is fake.
Turns out Elon’s “break everything and see what needs fixing later” approach doesn’t work when dealing with real people’s livelihoods. Also his congenital inability to listen to what incumbent experts say.
Then again, it didn’t really work with self driving mode in Tesla’s

Ned had over $5,000 removed from his bank account, and his Medicare insurance cancelled, because someone at SSA determined he was dead
