If each fraudulent person was making just $1800/mo, then D.O.G.E. just saved Americans $22,140,000,000 A MONTH. Post at X by Mila Joy
See below for a full chart on stolen money b Democrats and Deep State low lifes…. so far that is. Much more will be discovered as the Democrats robbed us all of trillions over the years.
Whatfinger Response: I admit the Democrat Party is corrupt to the core and their scams have ripped us all off in the trillions… but for accuracy here – The $22.1 billion monthly savings figure is speculative, as no official data confirms all 12.3 million were actively receiving $1,800/month in benefits. No claim has been made that they were all receiving the stolen money. The Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) announced on May 23, 2025, that it marked approximately 12.3 million Social Security numbers of individuals aged 120+ as deceased, aligning with the numbers in the post. The Social Security Administration’s Office of the Inspector General reported in 2023 that improper payments, a potential source of fraud, totaled nearly $72 billion, though this figure includes errors beyond deliberate scams. Experts, including former SSA officials, estimate that actual fraud-related improper payments are a small fraction of total benefits, contradicting the post’s implication of widespread scamming. Of course these ‘experts’ are always suspect as they are usually Leftists. The kind that we cannot trust, ever – Mal
