Elon Musk and the DOGE team are carrying out some of the most important work in government history.
America’s fiscal future is on the line.
And DOGE uncovered this horrific government secret.
As Swamp Digest reports:
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is another example of the radical transparency President Trump brought to government.
DOGE posts all of their findings on their website and on social media.
The latest bombshell from DOGE came in a post on social media that they found nearly $400 million in fraudulent unemployment benefit payments including to people over 100 and people who listed their birthdays as 150 years in the future.
“An initial survey of Unemployment Insurance claims since 2020 revealed the following: – 24.5k people over 115 years old claimed $59M in benefits – 28k people between 1 and 5 years old claimed $254M in benefits – 9.7k people with birth dates over 15 years in the future claimed $69M in benefits,” DOGE posted on X.
“In one case, someone with a birthday in 2154 claimed $41k.”
The main culprits were easy to identify and they were the three bluest states in America – New York, California, and Massachusetts.
“California, New York, and Massachusetts accounted for most of these improper claims, totaling $305M in unemployment benefits. Additionally, California accounted for 68% of the unemployment benefits paid to parolees identified by CBP on the terrorist watchlist or with criminal records,” the DOGE X account posted.

America is $36 trillion in debt.
The stock market nearly went under in response to Japan and Communist China dumping treasury bonds in response to President Trump’s tariffs.
Had the interest rate on treasury bonds soared above five percent, all lending in America would have ceased as the country could not have afforded to finance the debt.
A Great Depression may have hit.
Getting the debt under control means cutting spending everywhere and anywhere.
Less debt means other countries can’t tank the U.S. economy by selling treasuries and causing interest rates to spike because payments would be manageable.
The low hanging fruit – and what should be the easiest spending to cut – is waste, fraud, and abuse.
If Democrats want to defend waste, fraud and abuse in government, President Trump and the GOP would likely love to have that argument heading into the 2026 midterm election.
