If millions of people are stealing from Social Security, then why can't the DOJ find any of them? [View all]

Since Donald Trump arrived in office, the nation has rolled from crisis to crisis, where the fallout of one scandal serves as the resolution to the last.

As overwhelming as it might seem, Americans can’t simply forget the consequences of one misstep because a larger one comes along.

Back on March 4, which seems like a dozen scandals ago, President Trump put an unfavorable spotlight on the Social Security program. Instead of clarifying his vision for the future of a program on which most Americans depend, the president used his podium to cultivate the prospect that fraud might explain the program’s inability to keep the promises that it has made to hardworking Americans. The president has yet to walk back that possibility.

Americans can’t forget such a shocking and unsubstantiated claim about the program’s finances simply because our retirement accounts lay in ruins in the aftermath of the administration’s tariff policies. Social Security is arguably the most vital program under the president’s supervision; amid any question of fraud within the program, providing a transparent answer to voters should move to the top of the nation’s priority list.
