Trump is shocked to discover that there are social security checks going out to people who are likely dead. Something that was also true the entire 4 years he was president before. That’s info he had access to then. So … if it’s such a high priority for him, why didn’t he do something 2016-2020?

1 thing I’ve noticed when orgs cut staff is that they end up paying a lot of overtime hours after. So if Congress really passes no tax on overtime, imagine the compounded effect on the national debt.
