Musk & Vance claimed 40% of SSA callers were fraudulent ... DOGE investigation puts it a 0.0018%

The interesting observation isn't that dishonest grifters told outright lies to the American public. It's how many, mostly MAGA, voters are OK with being lied to.

I guess Harris laughed funny, though.

 

I take it you like fraud? Or are you against fraud? We can get clarity right now in this issue.

 

Running the government like a business means people get to steal pens, stationary and engage in light amounts of shoplifting

 

Thanks, just what I thought...

 

You are dealing with people who'd think 1 illegal border crossing is open borders and that we should spend a billion more dollars on security to get it down to 0

 

Keep telling yourself that... I believe you've already convinced yourself, and now you're just into the self-plearue part of it.

 

Every single human endeavor has fraud.

The question should be what amount of fraud is worth tackling? What are the remedial costs and can they produce and ROI?

40% is a nice absurd sounding number that makes drastic measures seem worthwhile. Fractions of a percent don't allow these actual fraudsters to go in and steal.

 

Everyone enjoys a little fraud, I think. We all had a laugh when a guy did some fraud here and claimed his mother was posting for his dead son. If we had zero tolerance for fraud on TH, we'd lose our souls, just a little.

 

More evidence that the vast majority of the "fraud" they uncovered is them just not understanding what they're looking at.

 

There is no fraud, there never was. DOGE IS the fraud in the room. Just like we’re all going to be getting $5,000 stimulus checks, lol. When are those of you who support Trump ever going to to realize that he and his cronies are lying to you? The man who told over 30,000 verifiable lies during his first term and has been a serial liar his whole life is screwing you and laughing at you while he does it. Wake the hell up already.

 

I think that's obvious to most reasonable observers.

The error of my post was thinking that I could effectively point out that "do you like fraud?" is not the correct question - i.e., my error was thinkng that a reasonable poster was asking such questions.

 

Damn. I missed another good thread?

 

Doge is about fraud just like the tariffs are about fentanyl

 

He was trying out a new lawyer persona

 

Was it nuked?

 

I dont know, I'm actually as clueless as you on that aspect of the story. I was speculating.
