Trump and Elon Musk’s D.O.G.E find $333M in federal loans to 110+ year olds
 
The Small Business Administration (SBA) approved 3,095 loans, totaling $333 million, for borrowers listed as 115 years or older in the Social Security database between 2020 and 2021, according to a post on Elon Musk’s D.O.G.E’s official X account account today.

One of them, officially 157 years old, received $36,000. The Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) called the records part of a massive federal scam.
 
In the same period, the SBA granted 5,593 loans, worth $312 million, to businesses owned by children aged 11 or younger. While some legal business arrangements could make this possible, all 5,593 cases had one thing in common—each loan application used a Social Security number (SSN) that did not match the name on file.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

So if I'm reading this correctly, they found loans totaling $642,000,000 that were to people who's names didn't match the social security number and the age of the person was more than a little suspect.

I wonder how much more we will find with social security and medicaid.

I bet the next thing we are going to find out is the recipients of these loans are not in the country.
We have a beach head. Now it's time to win the war and save the Republic.

That's definitely a real possibility.
