[QUOTE="Jack, post: 1091618, member: 43"] Try reading into what I'm typing. I'll try again. There are 44,000 (+ or minus) dead people currently getting SS checks. Yes they are dead and still getting them. None of them are 115 yet. Anyone ELSE that has cashed ANY of these checks will be responsible for paying them back in full with interest, penalties and possibly jail time. I don't have an emotional response to clerical errors, especially when they will be recognized and fixed. The average max payment for that age averages out to be 900 a month, with spouses getting about half that. The headline was what was outrageous, not uncovering the clerical errors and fixing what's broken. When DOGE uncovers stupid waste and fixes it, I'm all for it. That's my fucking money they're abusing. In the meantime, DOGE has claimed 55 bil in "savings" yet has only accounted for 16 bil in real time. There was also 30 bil in clerical errors of theirs. It's not a zero sum game. There's a lot of fraud, waste and corruption in our government. Many of the people doing the audits are bigger criminals than the mistakes they're catching. [/QUOTE]
