DOGE Makes Huge Discovery About Bizarre Unemployment Insurance Claims

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced this week that the DOGE team had made a "horrible" and "incredible" "discovery."

Now, the DOGE team has just made a big announcement about eyebrow-raising information from surveying unemployment insurance claims. They haven't said yet that this is what Leavitt was talking about, but it certainly is a big find.

Your tax dollars were going to pay fraudulent unemployment claims for fake people born in the future!

This is so crazy that I had to read it several times before it sank in. https://t.co/U5qqcyUgzo

Elon Musk said he had to read it "several times before it sank in that money was going out to pay "fake people born in the future."

The "initial survey of Unemployment Insurance claims since 2020" found that thousands of people with future birthdates claimed benefits.
The survey also indicated that thousands of supposedly very young and very old people had claimed benefits.
The DOGE post states that the survey found, "24.5k people over 115 years old claimed $59M in benefits," "28k people between 1 and 5 years old claimed $254M in benefits," and "9.7k people with birth dates over 15 years in the future claimed $69M in benefits."
"In one case, someone with a birthday in 2154 claimed $41k," the post also notes.

Department of Labor head Lori Chavez DeRemer said, "This is another incredible discovery by the DOGE team, finding nearly $400 million in fraudulent unemployment payments." She said they were committed to trying to recover the "stolen tax dollars." "We will catch these thieves and keep working to root out egregious fraud - accountability is here."

That's crazy — so no one was performing any kind of a "sanity check"? And if they let these things go by which had such obvious issues and should have been immediately flagged, what about other things that were probably also fraud but perhaps not as obvious? They're supposed to be evaluating the validity of the claims, but it sounds like complete incompetence or lack of concern about the issues if this is true. And this is just what they've found so far.

This was on top of the bombshell DOGE news about the huge number of non-citizens with Social Security numbers and that some of those people were voting.

Elon Musk and the DOGE Team Talk About Why Fraud Happens So Easily in the Federal Government

How can you not agree that such things need to be stopped and rooted out, that people need to be held accountable? No wonder we have such huge amounts of waste and the American people's tax dollars flying out the door.

But instead of being concerned about the fraud and the waste and how to rectify it, you have the left instead attacking Elon Musk and his team, with some protesting and even attacking Tesla in order to try to stop him. One has to conclude they don't want the problems stopped. It's next-level insanity.

Editor's Note: Elon Musk and DOGE are bringing much-needed accountability to our out-of-control bureaucracy as they take a chainsaw to rampant waste, fraud, and abuse.
