If millions of people are stealing from Social Security, then why can't the DOJ find any of them?

Since Donald Trump arrived in office, the nation has rolled from crisis to crisis, where the fallout of one scandal serves as the resolution to the last.

As overwhelming as it might seem, Americans can’t simply forget the consequences of one misstep because a larger one comes along.

Back on March 4, which seems like a dozen scandals ago, President Trump put an unfavorable spotlight on the Social Security program. Instead of clarifying his vision for the future of a program on which most Americans depend, the president used his podium to cultivate the prospect that fraud might explain the program’s inability to keep the promises that it has made to hardworking Americans. The president has yet to walk back that possibility.

Americans can’t forget such a shocking and unsubstantiated claim about the program’s finances simply because our retirement accounts lay in ruins in the aftermath of the administration’s tariff policies. Social Security is arguably the most vital program under the president’s supervision; amid any question of fraud within the program, providing a transparent answer to voters should move to the top of the nation’s priority list.

They would rather make a little survey or model and take that as the truth than look for the actual facts, they don’t consider that to be the truth. I think they did the same kind of thing when they were trying to prove that the election was “stolen“. Counting actual votes, wasn’t what they were after.

Make no mistake.

I became eligible for SSI in early Feb. I applied for benefits in nov 24.

I just got my 1st payment last week. What happened to Feb and Mar payments? I don't dare complain because those fuckers will label me as dead and stop my benefits, altogether.

How many are they doing this to?

legislator would be brave enough to stand against millions of gray-haired retirees wanting nothing to happen to their SS.

Could it be that "millions of people are stealing from SS" is a lie??
Or someone's imagination?
Or a fraudster's strategy?

But it’s still lies and deception they use to fool the stupid brainwashed magaloons.
