As for free trade if it is a two way street then agreed. If we are the only one allowing access while the other country doesn't then only a fool would participate.

Your first link is a selective copy and paste AP article.  The full AP article, https://apnews.com/article/social-securi...502977dd26
says that the current effort to identify money going to dead people actually started at the beginning of Biden's term.  

Not going to bother clicking on the other links.  Going to assume they are also either false or one-sided.

Anyhow, these amounts of money are small potatoes.

Since it appears your only purpose discussing this is trying to gaslight people you should try and get better at it.

Link #1 - This is a summary article. There are many online. This issue was discovered by the inspector general in 2008 dude. It was resurfaces in in a an IG report in 2013.  The one in 2017 said at that time there were 10 million dead people on SSI and there was an estimated 500 billion in fraud. They looked and now it is up to 20 million and much larger now. (6-700 billion area) All these Inspector General reports are available online. If you need proof go read Mr Needy Guy. Why do you think they are looking into it?

Link #2 headline - $330M in SBA loans went to the dead and infants— Could blockchain have prevented it? (better article defining this but if you are interested you can find them MR. Needy Guy.)

Link #3. headline - UPDATE: We've identified $5.4 billion in potentially fraudulent pandemic loans using SSN data (this is from the inspector general's office)

If you want to know about Doge listen to this Fox interview of the people actually doing the work.  They address everything you have issues with.
