Another Day Another Musk / Trump / DOGE Lie Exposed

I am so glad I’m not a republican these days. In order to defend Trump/DOGE you have to turn yourself in drooling babbling little dweeb.

 

How long until he gets a pardon because Trump doesn't think that government corruption is a crime?

 

I entered the workforce in 1980 and retired in late 2021. I paid almost $150K in social security taxes and almost $50K in medicare taxes during that time. Those taxes supported senior citizens. Those taxes were my responsibility to pay. Now that I am retired, I get paid social security benefits monthly and have Medicare A (hospital stays) for free. Many seniors have only social security as income. From a human decency standpoint, I have never understood attacks on this program. A note that I have an online account and it works, from monthly payments, yearly COLA increases, yearly tax forms, etc.

 

thats not how the government funding works. If the need for $9M wasn't identified until after the budget was allocated, then they have to seek additional funding to pay for it. They aren't free to just move funds around internally to cover it. So it's up to Congress to provide the extra $9M or reallocate the funding already given. Now fraud would be if they were given $9M to do the conversion and spent it on something else. I havent heard that was the case.

 

They're certainly very credulous. People who swore they would never trust a politician are now all in, unquestioning of, and uninterested in Trump/Musk's motives or agenda.

 

Setting aside the almost absurd level of irony related to deference towards the Congressional budgeting process on this thread at this time, it appears that the decision was made not just to do it then but not to ask for money for it in the subsequent years due to the fact that it wasn't costing the government enough to warrant the update. Frankly, you could make a fairly strong argument that whatever "fraud" is occurring related to this issue may be positive for government revenues, as it would likely be illegal immigrants finding a way to pay their taxes while not receiving benefits.

 

Bill, I can see that you agree with his policies. And even with his personality and manner. But how can you possibly claim he isn't proven wrong constantly? Over and over he says stuff that simply isn't true.

 

So you have a link to credible source indicating that they were receiving benefits?

 

Sounds like they just ignored the IG findings which the head of the agency should be accountable for.

 

"Dindu nuffin'!!!"


Thought I'd just keep you from waiting for your response.

 

That was the case, however, the felon changed that 1st term by taking DOD funds to pay for his border failure wall.
