CBS early morning news just had on an ignorant woman speaking from Dallas saying DOGE needs congress.

Forming the new OMB,, EMB narrative.

I see she spent a good amount of time overseeing "disability" which has skyrocketed in the last 20 years. We now have over 9 million people on disability. This is another factor that should be looked at. When you have reduced the bar to a hangnail or headache its easy to see why the numbers have rocketed up.


I’d love to learn the place of birth of these 9 million on SSI disability in any form.

True, but so should everyone else before her, shouldn’t they? How can anyone possibly live with themselves, knowing full well how insanely corrupt that is that they are in charge of?

She knew what was going on. No one with her experience is that dumb.

Okay. In her defense


What is there to defend of her? If Elon pointed it out she should have been just fine with fixing the problem. If she wasn't willing to fix it or admit the problem, can you really defend her? I really doubt Elon was saying, "you must admit this is all your fault or quit."

Hero? No. Young thugs? Eh, if you HAVE to classify them, "young nerds" is probably more appropriate. Your classified information? I highly doubt you have any "classified" information. Personal information? Sure. But they aren't concerned about your personal information, unless of course it contains fraudulent payments. Is that why you are concerned?

Wrong. I would be excited that the Dems are finally doing something that makes sense to help this country.

Social Security Administration Acting Commissioner Michelle King has stepped down from her role at the agency, a Trump administration official confirmed to CBS News.

King was replaced by Leland Dudek, who oversaw the SSA fraud investigation office, and then she resigned, according to this official.


quote:

Nancy Altman, the president of the advocacy group Social Security Works, told CBS News they heard from SSA employees that officials from the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, had been trying to get access to the Enterprise Data Warehouse — a centralized database that serves as the main hub for personal, sensitive information related to social security benefits such as beneficiary records and earnings data. Altman was told King had been resistant to giving DOGE officials access to the database.


Link to CBS story meant to scare you into being angry at Elon, and thus DOGE by proxy.

This is the bureaucratic logic: you have to trust us that what we do is too sensitive for you to know about and too sensitive for any outside group to ever attempt to check us for accountability.

It's dead-center for the very Leftist "government is the Great Equalizer" mindset.

Do you think every single person working at the federal SS administration office, who have access to people’s SS information, have a security clearance?

You democrats are beyond insane to think that these DOGE folks are going to steal sensitive information.

Liberal democracy’s never do the right thing, so it’s hard to image a situation where we would be upset if Liberal Democrats would be making sure money is being spent properly and not being stolen from taxpayers.

Resigned or retired? I won't say that's the end of 30 years of malfeasance in office, I'm sure there was at least a day or two she wasn't corrupt.
