Mini-Post: Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire!

It is one lie after another! It seems like everything that Trump & Company say is an out, and out lie.
It turns out that 40 percent of the calls to the Social Security Administration are not fraudulent. DOGE’s probe revealed the real figure is about .0018 percent.

How’s that for efficiency?

Procedures implemented by the Department of Government Efficiency suggested that just two out of 110,000 calls to the Social Security Administration this spring had a “high probability” of being fraudulent, Nextgov/FCW reported.

That is a far cry from the 40 percent figure that was parroted by MAGA in recent months, including by DOGE’s recently departed leader, Elon Musk, and Vice President JD Vance. The real figure is about .0018 percent.
You got to realize, that this whole thing was to cripple Social Security!
DOGE’s anti-fraud protocol required a three-day hold to be placed on phone claims in order to check for fraud. This procedure “delays payments and benefits to customers, despite an extremely low risk of fraud,” the memo said.
But hey, that's okay, Uncle Sam gets to keep the money and frustrate the seniors.

    We can only hope that all of this frustration by not only senior citizens but a large segment of our country, will turn into a massive movement against this administration and against the whole dam, dirty, rotten capitalist system. Those in power who refuse by lies or actions taking from the least of these must be brought down as in the promise found in Mary's Song, "He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty."
