It is with increasing curiosity that we watch the melodrama currently going by the dubious name of DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency). It was revealed this week that DOGE will pay dividend checks in the amount of five thousand dollars to Americans who make forty thousand or more. This forty-thousand-dollar threshold leaves out fifty-five percent of Black Americans.
Who has checked the unintended consequences of this code endeavor? DOGE should not be allowed to access any data pertaining to those who will not receive any checks. It is no stretch of the imagination that the code that DOGE is using for data mining could be used for nefarious reasons. The news that they discovered 150-year-olds receiving Social Security checks and no one has been arrested for fraud seems as if prosecutors are not doing their assigned duties or this is just more disinformation to engage in their own version of "Fake News." If these cases of "fraud" are found let there be public televised trials.
One of the more thoughtful insights is that if someone wanted to start a "Mark of the Beast" computer program, they would need to start, with all the information that is being gathered, with the DOGE code system.
Where and when does this code get deleted and who holds onto the information, that has been gathered?
Is there a tech company that gets access to the information?
Where are the talking heads of finance on this issue? In a world where, the interest rate on the National Debt is 4.25% of the Gross Domestic Product and only going to increase, any "found" savings should be used to pay down the debt. To give people money that should be used to pay down the debt, is the equivalent of credit card maxed out and going out to be a new car, sooner or later, debt will rear its ugly head, and the fiddler must be paid.
If the purpose of unifying the country there should be no attempt at dividing the country through ignoring the poor amongst us, by granting the rich cash handouts and tax breaks at the detriment of the poorest amongst us.
