The article I link to and the 2015 Guardian article that you like to quote from have one phrase that is mentioned in both articles and that is "Death Master File" and I would think that an article published in 2025 is more relevant than an article published ten years ago in 2015

You replied to a post about a 2015 file including people who were dead, but not classified as dead by negligence. Of these 6.5 million, only 13 received payment while Riclag's post (the post I was replying to) was suggesting that 6.5 million dead people received payments.

 

What is mentioned in the article you linked is different. These people were classified as dead by the SSA. It is unrelated to the case mentioned by Riclag, which was the subject of my post.

Elon saved free speech, shining all kinds of light on the deep state and their overt corruption when he bought Twitter (price he paid was cheap considering what Musk / X has achieved) and financial writers ridiculed him for "overpaying" for Twitter....but:

[The company is bringing in less total money, but it’s more profitable under Musk, at least in part due to low overhead from slashing employees.]

 

Appears Elon Musk has nearly doubled Twitter/X profits despite revenues < less than 50% of Twitter before Musk purchased it. He'll do thew same, fix wasteful spending, abuse, fraud in all US gov't dept. real quick much to the fear, chagrin, objections etc of the loser liberals. Musk is dumb like a fox.

Yes, he cleared all the activist staff, that was nearly 80%, streamlined the whole company and is now making double profits... Go Musk.

Posted elsewhere but it is relevant here. I think Nichol's has a hearing scheduled for tomorrow and it appears he'll rule in favor of the White House if they offer ( and they will ) a couple of basic repairs to the original order.

I maintain. Rerun the election today and Trump would be in Reaganesque 1984 territory. 250 plus reps & 58 Senators. 

 

I can't remember a worse three months for the Dems in my life and it looks like it's going to get worse. 

 

Some of the reports I'm reading just can't be true. And if any are, it will rock the entire American governance system. One example - $100 billion a year in untracked payments from the Treasury. Absolutely no record of where the money was sent or why. 

 

That can't be true, that's absurd beyond belief. A trillion dollars disappearing every decade. Come on, no American can tolerate that. 

 

Let's hope it isn't true.

And I know there has to be a slush fund. You can't record a payment to Achmed Hussain, 24 Arab Street. Islamabad - reason for payment - told us where to find Bin Laden. 

 

Just create a separate national security fund and have the Treasury transfer the money there. IMO Americans would accept that.
