DOGE Investigates Unemployment Insurance Fraud

Government Paid Millions in Unemployment to People with Birthdates in 2154, DOGE Investigation Finds

American taxpayers fund a massive federal government. Much of that money is spent with little oversight. The problem has persisted across administrations with few repercussions for those responsible.

Something changed this year. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) began investigating government waste. Led by Elon Musk, the team started digging through records across federal agencies.

What they uncovered shocked even seasoned government watchdogs. Indeed, the findings were so bizarre that officials had to double-check the numbers.

Americans’ tax dollars were apparently going to people who haven’t even been born yet. An initial survey of Unemployment Insurance claims since 2020 revealed that thousands of people with future birthdates received benefits totaling millions of dollars.

Can you believe it? Your hard-earned money went to someone supposedly born in 2154!

43 states reported an increase in Unemployment claims

Labor Department Releases Unemployment Report

Just weeks before Election Day, the number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits has surged to its highest level in more than a year, raising concerns about the health of the labor market and the broader economy.

On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Labor reported that for the week ending October 5, there were 258,000 new jobless claims, a significant jump of 33,000 from the previous week’s 225,000 claims. This marks the highest number of weekly claims since early August 2023, sparking questions about what’s driving this increase.

While analysts initially pointed to Hurricane Helene as a key factor behind the spike, a closer look suggests that the storm, while impactful, doesn’t explain the full picture. North Carolina, the state hardest hit by Helene, saw a staggering 290% rise in jobless claims, with 8,534 more people filing than the previous week.

But states unaffected by the hurricane, such as Michigan and California, also experienced sharp increases. Michigan recorded the highest single jump in claims, with an additional 9,490 applications, marking a 140% rise. California followed closely behind, seeing 4,484 more claims.

Under Biden - America Last

Biden's COVID Aid Package Will Result in Between 5 and 7 Million Fewer Americans Being Employed

Because of his New Green Deal BS, his cancellation of Keystone XL not only ended the billion-dollar pipe dream for the oil industry, but it also resulted in the loss of jobs— and economic opportunities— for thousands of workers.

And now we have the unbelievable "Covid" aid package of $1.9 trillion with only 9% of that going to Covid related issues.

"A Feb. 25 opinion article by Casey B. Mulligan and Stephen Moore in The Wall Street Journal said that Biden’s relief package would cause between five and seven million fewer Americans to be employed over the course of the next six months."

Union not happy with Biden

Unions have always endorsed Democrats...never could understand that. Well now, this union, Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA), is not happy, not even a little bit-- Killing the XLPipeline killed 11,000 American jobs at the click of Biden's Bic.

Unions Wanted Biden. Now They’re Blasting Him Over Killing Keystone XL

Biden Voter's Remorse?

Biden supporters begin to experience voter’s remorse after his job-killing start as president

Well, we all could have told you that!

I’m gonna be honest with you though, YOU voted for this. I didn’t but we will be suffering. I’m so sick of the “Trump is mean” bs, the man built a great economy but your hurt feelings got in the way of you researching the truth. You let Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper lie to you every damn night into some unicorn utopia of complete GARBAGE.

The Biden administration shutting down the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline could and most likely will end thousands of American construction jobs. Those are union jobs for the most part. It has begun already as one company just put 1,000 employees on notice that they will be laid off over Biden’s Executive Order.

By stopping the Keystone XL pipeline, the Biden administration also killed more than 10,000 union jobs expected to be created throughout the pipeline’s development, as well as tens of thousands of additional jobs related to the project.

Employer keeps Employees on Payroll but they're Ticked

Employees Furious When Owner Keeps Paying Them - They Would Have Made More on Unemployment

Well, the majority of people want to go back to work, but these employees are ticked off that their employer kept them on the payroll. They are being paid for doing nothing but doing nothing is worth so much more money in their feeble minds.

Our government passed the Cares Act that gives each unemployed an extra $600 a week because of the coronavirus. Pushed by Democrats, the government really made a grave mistake getting people hooked on the "nanny state."

Let's get America back to work! And once the economy opens again, this spa owner should fire every one of these ungrateful employees.

So, the question remains, why are Democrats so desperate to kick out President Trump or impeach him? They don't like his personality? They prefer to call him "racist" and other denigrating adjectives than look at the facts. As Bill Clinton said when he was running for President, "It's the economy, stupid."

Unemployment lowest in 28 years

"Unemployment claims nationwide are at their lowest point in 28 years, according to a report issued by the Department of Labor Thursday, indicating that the job market continues to soar under the renewed confidence of Trumponomics.

From consumer confidence to the promise of corporate tax cuts to a runaway stock market, employers are investing in their companies again.

It isn’t rocket science. It simply took an experienced career business professional versus a career political parasite to lead the effort. I continue to find it amazing that Barack Hussein and the entire Democrat Party were so clueless that they did not see this." [PowderedWigSociety]

For the first time in a decade, Palm Beach County's unemployment fell to 3.9%

Quote of the Day - Rick Scott - Florida Unemployment Rate reduced

Another Rick Scott achievement:

He has created jobs and continues to attract businesses to Florida. Consequently the unemployment rate continues to drop. Beginning today, the amount has been reduced by more than 50 percent that businesses must pay in unemployment taxes.

“As more Floridians are finding the job opportunities they need to succeed and provide for their families, the cost of doing business in Florida keeps dropping. This dramatic reduction in taxes will be especially helpful for Florida’s small businesses and is one more reason that companies are choosing Florida as the best place to grow.”

~ Gov Rick Scott

The minimum tax rate is now $16.80 per employee and is cut to $7 per employee. Since 2012, the insurance rate has dropped 94 percent, from a high of $120.80 per employee.

Unemployment rate

While the Obama Administration considers whether or not it will grant amnesty and work permits to a significant portion of the country's illegal-alien population, the employment situation for American workers worsened last month. The unemployment rate dropped slightly in August, but mostly because of an increased number of Americans who left the labor force. The labor participation rate dropped to its lowest since the 1970s after 268,000 Americans gave up on their job search.

Class Warfare in Illinois and Unemployment rates

Comment Up

Bleeding heart Democrat in Illinois has proposed a 3% tax on all millionaires in his state.

And for a little trivia--there are twenty-nine Republican state governors in the country. Illinois is not run by one of them...neither is California or Nevada, states with the highest unemployment in the country. North Dakota is run by a Republican governor as is Nebraska, South Dakota and Utah, states with the lowest unemployment rates.

Vote fails on 3 months, $6.4 billion unemployment benefits

55-to-42...that was the vote in the Senate.

It fell short of the 60-votes that were needed to break a Republican filibuster effort on the 3 month unemployment benefits extension that would have helped 1.7 million unemployed costing $6.4 BILLION dollars.
