DOGE wants the IRS to check if you’re eligible for the vast riches of SNAP
Elon Musk's gang of libertarians will NOT target tax fraud among high-income taxpayers. This could produce hundreds of billions of dollars, but for precisely that reason Republicans have always been furiously dead set against it. Rather target Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program formerly known as food stamps.

This doesn't sound like an unreasonable request. Especially given that computers can do it automatically once the system is in place.
In fact, if everything were streamlined, getting benefits could be much easier for those who are forced to jump through hoops every year, faxing and mailing a bunch of documents they shouldn't have to because the IRS already knows all of this information.
You could very easily eliminate 100% of the fraud and eliminate 80% of the workforce distributing SNAP benefits, while also making the system work much better for the people who need the benefits.
Because the way the system is right now is absolute bullshit.
Why make people jump through hoops to get benefits and just hope that a bunch of them are too busy or stupid or lazy or just downright ignorant to how to get them in the first place? Purposefully making every one of these processes which all involve dealing with different agencies as difficult as possible to dissuade people who need the benefits to go and seek them out is the only reason we do things the way that we currently do. That or sheer incompetence, compounded every year over the span of more than half a century.
Why the hell should somebody have to keep going to one government office building to get a printout of the taxes they earned in the previous year only to have to mail that in or fax it to another government office and then wait weeks for them to finally get around to processing you, other than purposefully putting roadblocks in the way for a lot of people? Why do that when it can all be done online without any employees as middle men? Why not use tax filings to determine all benefits automatically?
You want to make that fair and make that work? Have it all linked directly to the IRS and your SS#. Then all the elected suits can get together with the economists and figure out exactly what the rules are when it comes to distributing these things as well as the thresholds and the amounts, and factoring in for kids and all the other bullshit. Make it all automatic. BAM! You just cut the salaries of tens of thousands of people out of the budget forever, ensured that the people who need the benefits are getting them, and you've eliminated 100% of the fraud.

Russian Lawmaker Predicted the Trump-Vance Ambush of Zelensky
On Thursday, State Duma member Oleg Morozov guessed that “Daddy” Trump would “flog” Zelensky at the White House. WHO’S YOUR DADDY?
By Julia Davis | Mar. 1, 2025 3:09AM EST

ce-ambush-of-zelensky/
The disgraceful spectacle of President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance taking turns insulting the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky during a White House meeting on Friday was a welcome sight for pro-Kremlin propagandists in Moscow. They’ve described it as an ambush, designed as a way for America to part ways with Ukraine—and they couldn’t be happier with the way this setup played out.
Appearing on Friday’s breaking news broadcast on channel Solovyov Live, political scientist Alexander Voskoboinikov noted that Trump “simply lured [Zelensky] to the White House for this meeting. I can’t explain it any other way. What happened there was a pre-planned operation that was meant to show the whole world that Americans are getting out of this situation. At least, this is what they are demonstrating.”
Host Sergey Karnaukhov giddily described these events as “incredible,” his voice trembling with excitement. He said, “Zelensky got what he deserved. This is his fate. The trial of history started before our very eyes.” At the conclusion of the broadcast, the channel aired a new crowdfunded commercial that began broadcasting in late February. It started with the words, “We are one step away from victory. This is the moment of truth… It’s now or never.”
One day earlier, Zelensky’s Oval Office ambush was predicted by State Duma member Oleg Morozov on 60 Minutes, a state TV show. Morozov said that the meeting would be a lesson in humiliation, designed to condition Zelensky to capitulate to the United States—and later to Russia. The lawmaker said that the Ukrainian president was flying to America “to sign an act of capitulation,” referring to the rare earth mineral deal Trump was determined to get as a “payback” for previous aid to Ukraine. Describing Trump as Zelensky’s “Daddy,” Morozov predicted, “They will rub his nose into everything, like a messy puppy… Then he will sign whatever he is told to sign.” Host Evgeny Popov chimed in, “But first, Daddy will flog him.”
During the same show, Vitaly Tretyakov, Dean of the Higher School of Television at Moscow’s State University, praised Trump by explaining, “I really like what he is doing right now… I like his revolutionary approach… He did our job for us that we did not dare to do.”
Popov pointed out that Trump is strangling America’s friends and allies. Tretyakov noted, “He is pursuing policies that are beneficial for Russia.” He surmised, “With respect to Ukraine, he is ready to give Russia everything it wants to take.”

Elon Musk argued that Social Security is an insidious ploy.
Candidate Donald Trump promised not to touch Social Security if elected. But President Musk made no such promise and is already spouting lies to justify cutting Social Security benefits and privatizing the program:
The billionaire argued Friday on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast that the United States government is “one big pyramid scheme” before blasting Social Security as “the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time.”
When asked to clarify, Musk said, “Well, people pay into Social Security and the money goes out of Social Security immediately, but the obligation for Social Security is your entire retirement career. If you look at the future obligations of Social Security, it far exceeds the tax revenue.”
While President Musk is right that Social Security has always been a pay-as-you-go system and that when the trust fund runs out, it will only be able to pay ca. 78% of current benefits, that doesn’t make it a Ponzi scheme.
What President Musk is doing is engaging in a Ponzi scam, gaslighting Americans into believing that they can’t trust the Social Security system enough to fix it. He wants to scam Americans who paid into the program and Americans who depend on it. Don’t fall for his scam.

SECOND, have you ever considered NOT sounding like a broken record?
This is what your posts are about (scrolling up)
Musk evil
Russia Russia Russia
Trumptards Nazis evil rapist
DOGE taking money away from poor people
China
Russia
Russia
Russia
Russia
DOGE taking money away from poor people
Ukraine RUSSIA! RUSSIA!
.... and more of the same.
And BTW Social Security IS a Ponzi scheme. The people who are paying into it now are paying for current retirees, NOT paying into their own accounts. It's a better-funded Ponzi scheme... the fund actually makes money by buying Treasuries ... but it doesn't operate like most people think.
