Social Security is going bust. By a lot. Unfunded liabilities for Social Security and Medicare exceed $160 trillion (!) Why? Because both were sold as sacred promises. But both were structured as Ponzi schemes. Their insolvency will launch the mother of Gladiator Battles to drain every other dollar wasted in Washington. And put it where it belongs: The sacred benefits already promised and already paid for.

DWP £0.35bn fraud, 9000 investigating. HMRC £40bn fraud, 27000 investigating. Conservative Government £219bn fraud, NO-ONE investigating. Fraud needs investigating in the UK, and we need to start at the top. Not the bottom, and ignore the people stealing BILLIONS.

Absolutely. The federal government has squandered your hard-earned tax money. It’s an outrage.
@JDVance - JD Vance
When Elon and the team started I was very supportive but thought the waste and fraud would top out at $250 billion. The real number will end up much higher.
@elonmusk - Elon Musk
To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following: - Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible. - All payments must also include a rationale for the payment in the comment field, which is currently left blank. Importantly, we are not yet applying ANY judgment to this rationale, but simply requiring that SOME attempt be made to explain the payment more than NOTHING! - The DO-NOT-PAY list of entities known to be fraudulent or people who are dead or are probable fronts for terrorist organizations or do not match Congressional appropriations must actually be implemented and not ignored. Also, it can currently take up to a year to get on this list, which is far too long. This list should be updated at least weekly, if not daily. The above super obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing, long-time career government employees, not anyone from @DOGE. It is ridiculous that these changes didn’t exist already! Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious. When I asked if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so $50B/year or $1B/week!! This is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately.

🚨TREASURY LEADS IN FRAUD AND WASTE—NEARLY 24% OF BUDGET LOST The Treasury Department is hemorrhaging 23.87% of its budget to waste, fraud, and abuse—far more than any other agency. Meanwhile, Labor (11.68%), Veterans Affairs (10.33%), and Agriculture (9.76%) follow as top offenders, funneling billions into mismanagement and fraud. Defense? 1.85%. Homeland Security? 0.89%. Yet Treasury is burning nearly a quarter of its budget, all while prior leadership let fraud run unchecked. How many billions in taxpayer dollars were stolen while bureaucrats looked the other way?

Did you catch this part? Elon said “I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious.” Over $100 BILLION is being sent every year to people in America with no Social Security number This may be the biggest money laundering scandal since Ukraine, ActBlue, and all the other globalist scams This is why Democrats are freaking out - their DC gravy train was just exposed
@elonmusk - Elon Musk
Just learned that the social security database is not de-duplicated, meaning you can have the same SSN many times over, which further enables MASSIVE FRAUD!! Your tax dollars are being stolen.
@WallStreetApes - Wall Street Apes
Put the pieces together - Elon Musk’s DOGE found at the US Treasury $50 billion a year is going to people that have no known social security number - JJ Carrell confirmed illegals are put on social security with max benefit - Confirmation hundreds of thousands of Ukraine ‘Refugees’ are claiming American Social Security Benefits, put on by the Biden Admin “Our viewers asked us to verify — we can verify it's true.” Elon Musk just posted “I am 100% certain that the magnitude of the fraud in federal entitlements (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, Disability, etc) exceeds the combined sum of every private scam you’ve ever heard by FAR.” This is one of the biggest crimes of the century, billions stolen from US taxpayers
@elonmusk - Elon Musk
Well, maybe this explains why the Democrats don’t want @DOGE to investigate. Biggest fraud operation in human history!
@elonmusk - Elon Musk
But leading Democrats said there was no fraud in government payments 🧐 Maybe because they’re getting their cut. That’s what they’re afraid @DOGE will discover.
@elonmusk - Elon Musk
The REAL reason so many Democrats are upset about entitlements (social security, medical, etc) fraud investigations is that they are using your taxpayer money as handouts to attract and retain ILLEGAL immigrants. Their future voters. That’s what it’s all about. Truth.

The federal government spends nearly $20,000 per person, yet what do we have to show for it? Disability assistance is out of reach for many, Social Security is crumbling, health care costs are soaring, cities are unsafe, and our education system is in decline. All we get in return are empty promises that endless wars in distant lands somehow make us safer.
@Big_Picture_89 - The Big Picture
We spend 5x more per person than we did in the 70s, INFLATION ADJUSTED. Our annual deficit spending is 6% of GDP, while GDP only grows at 3% — we are going backwards. Do we all feel like we’re getting our moneys worth from government? Or would everyone rather get $15K back every year and not have inflation?

WOAH 🚨 The corruption runs DEEP - The Social Security checks being sent to dead people ARE being cashed - Senator John Kennedy went to Social Security to fix this problem and was told it was ILLEGAL to share the information with Treasury who could fix it IT IS ILLEGAL, “You don't share it with the do not pay folks at Treasury? They said, nope. It's against the law.”
@WallStreetApes - Wall Street Apes
This is mind blowing DOGE “There is actually really only ONE BANK ACCOUNT that's used to disperse ALL monies that go out of the federal government” “It's a big one — A couple weeks ago it had $800 billion in it, it's the treasury general account” “We're serving 580+ agencies. And up until very recently, effectively they could say, make the payment and Treasury just sent it out as fast as possible. NO VERIFICATION” “There's a $500 billion of fraud every year. There's hundreds of billion dollars of improper payments and we can't pass an audit. The consolidated financial report is produced by treasury and we cannot pass an audit”

America’s broken healthcare system is about to face a MASSIVE reset. Taxpayers have been robbed blind, all while the root causes of our health crisis were entirely ignored. The MAHA report exposed it. Now, Oz and Makary are fixing it from the inside. But it was what Oz vowed to do about illegals draining Medicare that lit a fire. 🧵THREAD
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
America’s healthcare system is collapsing and hemorrhaging billions—and two of the country’s top health officials are stepping in to stop the bleeding. At the heart of the crisis are two programs: Medicare and Medicaid. But as Dr. Mehmet Oz, the new Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, explained in a recent address, these safety nets have become ripe for abuse. Oz pulled back the curtain on one of the biggest schemes taxpayers have never heard of. “The fraud, waste and abuse is in three different categories,” he said. “The fraud, which, by the way, we find quite a bit of. There's about $14 billion we've identified with DOGE of folks who are duly enrolled, wrongly, in multiple states for Medicaid.” The scam sounds almost too simple to be real. A person moves from New Jersey to Pennsylvania, for example, but never officially updates their enrollment. As a result, both states bill the federal government for that one person’s Medicaid coverage. And no one catches it. “Yeah, you live in New Jersey but you moved to Pennsylvania and, you know, which state gets your Medicaid? Turns out both states collect money from the federal government.” It’s not limited to state lines. According to Oz, many people are simultaneously enrolled in Medicaid and in subsidized insurance exchanges—something that should never happen. “A lot of times within a state you'll have someone on Medicaid and in the exchanges, again $14 billion just in that regard alone.”
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
But Oz didn’t just sound the alarm—he issued a declaration, which bleeds into America’s illegal alien problem. “The buck stops here.” That phrase is now the rallying cry behind a nationwide crackdown on fraud and waste. And it’s raising difficult questions about fairness, especially when it comes to illegal immigration. “We’re not paying $200 million for housekeeping anymore a year, we’re not going to pay for illegal immigrants in states that are submitting those claims,” he said. He challenged the morality—and the math—behind making taxpayers in Republican states like Mississippi, Texas, or Florida subsidize the healthcare of undocumented migrants in places like California. “Why should people living in Mississippi, Texas or Florida be paying for illegal immigrants getting health care in California?” Oz stressed that cleaning up the system isn’t just a fiscal imperative—it’s a national responsibility. “As a nation, we need to be in line to make this work.”

@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
While Dr. Oz tackled the administrative rot in the system, FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary turned his focus to the cultural one. For decades, he argued, medicine in America has prioritized treatment over prevention, paperwork over health. "The modern medical establishment really has been disconnected,” Makary said. “We've been so busy focusing on treatment, on billing and coding and a high throughput model." Makary’s solution isn’t another pill—it’s a complete rethinking of how we approach wellness in the first place. “We've got to stop and ask ourselves should we be focusing more on school lunch programs, not just putting every kid on Ozempic?” he said. “We've got to talk about food as medicine and gut health and the microbiome. We've got to talk about environmental toxins that cause cancer not just the chemo to treat it.” And perhaps most radically: “Maybe we need to treat more diabetes with cooking classes, not just throwing insulin at people.” That kind of thinking, he said, is at the heart of the newly released MAHA report—short for Make America Healthy Again. It’s a federal roadmap to reverse the nation’s health crisis, not just patch it. "This report is a fresh new approach that really calls for a transformation of our healthcare system from a reactionary system to a proactive system,” he said. “So I could not be more excited about this report.”
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
At its core, the MAHA report argues that the real solution isn’t spending more money. It’s spending smarter. "And when we talk about payment reform, we're really talking about how we fund our broken healthcare system,” Makary explained. Instead of throwing dollars at downstream treatments, the report focuses on root causes: poor diet, environmental toxins, sedentary lifestyles, and lack of education. “This report talks about how we fix our broken healthcare system, by getting at the root causes and the ultimate issue that we've not been talking about, and that is the health of the population.” That’s especially urgent, he said, when nearly half of American children are already battling chronic disease. "When you have 40% of our nation's children with a chronic disease, that portends a very expensive system.” But the good news, according to Makary, is that the damage isn’t irreversible. “We can address it,” he said. “There are many things we can do even at the FDA addressing food, which many people forget is the first letter of the FDA is food. It's not just drugs.” The mission now is clear: Stop the fraud, rethink the system, and finally make health—not bureaucracy—the priority.

While everyone's busy infighting, the government openly admitted in its 2024 Financial Report that it is totally financially unaccountable to We the People. It's all here in black and white: 🧵 https://t.co/efIalBsB8i
@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media
First: Congress, which is supposed to have power of the purse, passed S.2170 in 1994, a reform law requiring 24 government agencies to provide annual audited financial reports of their activities, spending, and revenues starting in 1997. This includes: Department of Agriculture Department of Commerce Department of Defense Department of Education Department of Energy Department of Health and Human Services Department of Homeland Security Department of Housing and Urban Development Department of Interior Department of Justice Department of Labor Department of State Department of Transportation Department of the Treasury Department of Veterans Affairs Environmental Protection Agency Federal Emergency Management Agency General Services Administration (GSA) National Aeronautics and Space Administration National Science Foundation Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of Personnel Management Small Business Administration Social Security Administration
@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media
And since 1997, Government Accountability Office auditors have disclaimed an opinion on these financial reports due to "material weaknesses" related to bad recordkeeping and reporting. So for 28 STRAIGHT YEARS the government has not been able to account for its financials. https://t.co/noAEitqB2G
@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media
Disclaiming an opinion means the information provided may contain misstatements or omissions and is so untrustworthy on its face that the government's auditors cannot even form an opinion on it. https://t.co/Fj7nly31mk
@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media
Let's talk about the specifics of some of these "material weaknesses". The government can't account for what all it owns and where it is to even be able to report on its assets, most especially those under DOD responsibility — a dept set to receive $961 billion in 2026. https://t.co/sf3neUTQ3i
@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media
Auditors of whole components of the DOD have also disclaimed opinions including the Army, Navy, Air Force, Defense Health Program, Defense Logistics Agency, and Transportation Command. But sure, taxpayers should give them almost a trillion more totally unaccountable dollars. https://t.co/sDu4etFiV5
@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media
Neither the SBA, nor the Dept of Education, can support amounts of loans receivable — that's the amounts they expect to receive from borrowers as repayment for loans they issued! If they can't provide evidence on what is owed, how can they legally expect to be paid back? https://t.co/xjPj0P98Mo
@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media
They can't substantiate all kinds of liabilities, from Dept of Energy and DOD environmental and disposal liabilities to health benefits for retired federal employees and veterans. On the environmental stuff for example, this would mean these agencies are unable to "determine whether commitments and contingencies were complete and properly reported".
@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media
This also means the government can't back up what it claims is needed for cost of operations, affecting its ability to reduce costs, assess performance, evaluate programs, etc. — put simply, it can't be expected to be in any way accountable for all the taxes it collects.
@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media
This government continues to be unable to adequately account for intragovernmental activity and balances between federal entities. https://t.co/drMVlVjnJ2

Sixteen agencies reported improper payments totaling a whopping $162 billion just for FY 2024, most of which was in Medicare, Medicaid, and EIC, and SNAP. But hey, at least this is down from FY2023 which was $236 billion! https://t.co/c9rT0WduWD
@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media
But that's magically not the same as fraud — fraud amounts which are so massive, our government isn't even able to estimate how many hundreds of billions it is annually. It was somewhere between $233 and $521 billion in 2018–2022 alone. So... who knows? No one, that's who. https://t.co/XJwwN9Clyz

@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media
Oh, and this report coldly lists "low-cost alternatives" in its projections for these programs such as "slower improvement in morality (beneficiaries die younger)" like its an incentive. More immigrants and a higher interest rate will also cut these costs it says. Whoo hoo! https://t.co/rJU8YuUUNB
@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media
Laughably, this report ADMITS "the size and complexity of the federal government" continues "to present a formidable management challenge in providing accountability". So a government that was never meant to be this big now says it is too big to be accountable! YA DON'T SAY!!
@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media
It is SO unbelievably insulting Janet Yellen signed this flaming dumpster fire of a ridiculous excuse for a report by saying it was her "pleasure" to present such a massive joke in accountability to the American people. After all, it is played at our expense quite literally.
@truthstreamnews - Truthstream Media
Again, no one knows how long this utter lack of accountability has been going on. Because no one can know. This report admits no one knows what the cost of operations is, what loans the SBA and Dept of Ed are owed, how much fraud there is, what the national debt is — NOTHING.

United States Attorney of Minnesota “Minnesota is drowning in fraud” - Taxpayer funded housing stabilization services companies are creating fake programs and making fake claims to bill for services that never happen - Over $100 million per year is stolen - Fraudulent health care companies set up - Fraudulent housing programs set up - Rehab patient fraud - Fake Medicare and Medicaid claims “Many of these companies operated out of dilapidated storefronts or run down office buildings that were full of other fraudulent health care companies” “They identified vulnerable individuals, Medicaid eligible individuals, many of whom were being released from drug or alcohol rehab facilities. They sign them up to receive housing stabilization services to help them, purportedly to help them find stable housing. Then they bill them for services that they did not, or they build Medicaid for services they did not actually provide. Despite the hundreds of millions of dollars in payments that have gone out from the state of Minnesota to housing stabilization services companies, many of these, most of these individuals did not receive stable housing they so desperately needed. The money was just simply stolen” “The level of fraud in these programs is staggering.” Now imagine this same fraud in every major city in every state.
