That's not what conservative media has hammered into its viewers for decades. The whole, "just asking questions" grind that filled whole communities with doubt.

Alternative headline: "DOGE finds Social Security administration is pumping trillions of dollars into the economy and has an error rate of less than 1%."

After all these DOGE shenanigans about Social Security, I reallised that US Public Administration is not nearly as automated or digitized as I thought. If it was, it would work in a more efficient manner.

But rather have these DOGE assholes tearing things up, dealing with this issue as an actual infrastructure problem would go ways.
