President Trump promised to drain the swamp — and now, with his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in full force, we’re seeing just how deep the corruption goes, especially in Democrat-run states.
In an explosive revelation, DOGE, the Trump-era watchdog agency led by none other than tech titan Elon Musk, exposed a staggering $400 million in fraudulent unemployment payments — much of it doled out by blue states that apparently couldn’t be bothered to verify whether recipients were even alive, let alone eligible.
Let’s be clear: This isn’t some minor bureaucratic hiccup. It’s blatant, systemic abuse of taxpayer money. And the perpetrators? Democratic strongholds more concerned with pushing progressive pet projects than safeguarding your hard-earned dollars.
At a cabinet meeting on April 14, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer laid it out plainly. “This is another incredible discovery by the DOGE team,” she said. “We’re talking about nearly \$400 million in fraudulent unemployment payments. The Labor Department is committed to recovering Americans’ stolen tax dollars. We will catch these thieves.”
And catch them they will — because the fraud wasn’t even subtle.
According to DOGE’s findings:
* 24,500 people allegedly over 115 years old received $59 million in unemployment benefits.
* 28,000 toddlers and preschoolers somehow collected $254 million.
* 9,700 people who don’t exist yet — with birthdates set more than 15 years in the future — raked in $69 million.
Yes, you read that right. Someone born in the year 2154 — more than a century from now — received $41,000 in benefits. It’s so outrageous even Elon Musk had to double-take, posting:
> “Your tax dollars were going to pay fraudulent unemployment claims for fake people born in the future! This is so crazy that I had to read it several times before it sank in.”
The truth is, these aren’t just accounting errors. They are the result of decades of incompetence and corruption in Democrat-led state governments, where bloated bureaucracies and failed progressive policies have become the norm.
White House spokesman Harrison Fields didn’t mince words: “There’s a reason for the mass exodus from Democrat-run states. High taxes, poor stewardship of taxpayer dollars, and progressive policies continue to yield negative results. Americans overwhelmingly support the work of DOGE because they’re finally seeing real accountability.”
It’s no wonder red states are booming while blue states are hemorrhaging residents and revenue. People are fleeing incompetence — and now we know, fraud — for the sanity and security of Republican leadership.
Thanks to President Trump’s vision, DOGE is doing what no one else dared to do: naming names, exposing corruption, and getting your money back.
The swamp is real. The fraud is worse than we thought. But finally, someone’s doing something about it.
