Miscalculations on the agency side. How in the world would someone know if they are getting to much? And is doge just going to pick names out of a hat and claim they were overpaid? Will they just use the chainsaw approach and deem everyone receiving social security was overpaid?
Seriously worried about this next step in this regime's plan to dismantle social security.
