Feds paid $80 billion to bogus Social Security numbers during pandemic

 By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Friday, June 6, 2025

Federal agencies paid out nearly $80 billion in pandemic money to applications that used stolen or invalid Social Security numbers, according to a new watchdog report Wednesday that said it should have been easy to stop them.

The Pandemic Response Accountability Committee said the three big programs, two small business loans and the enhanced unemployment benefits program, approved between 1.4 million and 1.5 million applications that used the bogus numbers.

The PRAC said those each represented potentially fraudulent payments.

Only $80 billion?  I find that hard to believe.  Where is Javier Milei when you need him most?

OMG! Slash Social Security! (at least that's how stopping such fraud would be portrayed).

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.
