That math doesnt add up. Especially now that we know that Ukraine cant account for over 200B.  Looking everyday like that aid was more slush fund kickbacks than real aid, and even the weapons purchases had kickbacks attached.  Sadly, the federal IT systems being investigated are being reported as so antiquated that the money is basically untraceable.  IF this fraud can be traced back to ANY Senator, Congressman or appointed department head, they should be jailed, fined and thier assets frozen until any money taken from American taxpayers is recaptured and returned.

100%. Unfortunately this will never happen but it damn sure should.

Most all gov programs are still written in cobol. While that language was state of the art in the 50', 60' 70's it is not now and those that can really be productive with it are hard to find. This adds a bit of a hurdle. It can be done, just a PITA. One concern I have is the SSI database being cleaned up. MANY government systems will use that a check for other payments not necessarily SSI ones. So even if someone that shows an age of over 100 may not be getting SSI money they very well may be getting payments from other programs. In fact it would be good cover to do that as audit of SSI payments would not catch those.
