Musk to American people: Look what the feds are doing with your money!
By Bill Guild
Has anyone at the Social Security Administration, the U.S. Congress, or the media been paying attention to the agency’s metrics? Apparently not. Elon Musk’s DOGE has recently uncovered some interesting and frightening facts that should make you very angry.
Did you know that the population of the United States as of 2023 was 334.9 million people? The Social Security system, however, is paying benefits to 398.4 million people, or 63.5 million more people than live in the United States. That number almost equals the entire population of France or Tanzania, and 4.4 million more people than live in the entire country of Italy.
Looking at some of the details of the DOGE report, we discover that there are 3.5 million people between the ages of 140 and 149 years that receive SSA benefits. If that’s not enough to make you wonder, there are 1.3 million people receiving benefits who are between the ages of 150 and 159. The report also revealed that there are over 1,000 citizens over the age of 220 and one lucky soul over 360 years old receiving benefits.
What is the reaction from the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration? She resigned after DOGE tried to access “sensitive government information.” She offered nothing to explain how a very large group of 150-year-old Americans were receiving S.S. benefits and a 360-year-old citizen was also lucky enough to receive his monthly check. His SSN, by the way, is 000-00-0001.
