Fox News Business anchor Elizabeth MacDonald explained how DOGE identified a large Social Security fraud ring in a popular post. MacDonald added that DOGE’s shocking fraud findings prove that “no one believes Dems like Chuck Schumer.”
As part of his long-term commitment to eliminating federal fraud, waste, and financial mismanagement, President Trump created DOGE. DOGE has investigated Social Security extensively and found astonishing benefits fraud.
Schumer’s controversial social media post stated, “Trump has unleashed chaos on America —His tariffs hit families with the largest tax hike in more than 50 years —DOGE is sabotaging Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid —The market is having its worst 3 days since COVID.” Congressional Republicans are colluding to lower millionaire taxes.”
On April 9, 2025, DOGE announced, “An initial survey of Unemployment Insurance claims since 2020 revealed the following: 24.5k over-115s received $59M in benefits. 28k 1- to 5-year-olds claimed $254M in benefits. 9.7k persons born over 15 years later got $69M in benefits. Someone born in 2154 claimed $41k.”
Based on that, Elizabeth MacDonald highlighted why this raid might sink corrupt Democrats. “This is why Elon Musk and Doge say fake Social Security #s are used to steal from taxpayers, and why no one believes Chuck Schumer and Elizabeth Warren here. Doge discovered a large jobless benefits theft scam and previous fraud.
Fox Business anchor concluded, “Fake Social Security numbers are being used to steal from other government programs like Medicaid. This is why Democrats like Senator Chuck Schumer are falling in the polls: they don’t believe Doge & Musk are cutting perks. They’re not. They’re catching big fraud Congress should stop.”
Conservative commenters gathered under her article to express outrage. One response said, “Corruption like this does not just happen. The corrupt administrator-facilitated system allows it. Honest, competent administrators would not accept such inadequacies.
