Americans are obsessed with living longer are turning to
diet, exercise, and tobacco and excessive drinking deign
Buying all manner of vitamins and minerals, herbal supplements
and creams to cause the symbols of aging to wane
For those who enjoy steaks and fine wines but had to forego
to longer life claim
And had to spend hours in the gym lifting weights and to treadmills
chained
To the joy of couch potatoes every where
DOGE has found the secret of longer lives it now shares
Be listed on the Social Security Administration’s data base
Where the chance of dying is too many times erased
The Census Bureau shows that 80,000 centenarians are
alive today
But the Social Security Database shows 20,000,000 over a 100
waking up each day
Clearly most of the 20 million are not alive but dead
But how many benefit checks to the nonliving are in the mail
or electronically monthly sped?
The number is not yet known but we should expect it to be high
As in just a few months the Treasury Department has
recovered $31 million in payments that should have been denied
If the amount of fraudulent checks issued under the 3
COVID-19 stimulus checks $3.6 billion is a guide
The number of benefit checks to dead recipients once DOGE
finishes will also be on the billions high side
While most Americans are overjoyed for the millions of waste and fraud
DOGE is uncovering
Other than attacking Musk as an unelected official, Blues
are sweating in the corners cowering
