What concerning discovery did the Trump administration make regarding Social Security records?
The Trump administration discovered 8.7 million Americans listed in Social Security records who appear questionable, with some supposedly over 130 years old. This finding raises significant concerns about potential fraud in the system, though it hasn't yet been confirmed whether payments are actually being sent to deceased individuals or being collected by family members. As noted in the discussion, there appear to be more Social Security numbers than actual U.S. citizens, indicating possible widespread irregularities. The administration is committed to investigating these discrepancies to ensure payments only go to legitimate recipients, protecting taxpayer money from waste and fraud.
