As DOGE continues to wave its hands about the number of new SSN’s being issued every year (it’s a misdirection about illegal voting), keep in mind that the number of new SS recipients is growing less that 1 million per year currently (1.3% increase in 2024). https://t.co/QTE2te3Lv1 (2)And over the long-run, SS recipients have increased at a 1.9% annual rate since 1970 (25M to 68M people)vs US population growth of 0.9% over that same period. The 1% higher growth rate of recipients can entirely be explained by longer life expectancy today(78.4) vs then(70.8). https://t.co/qJcxi59lZD (3) And of course, DOGE should rightly be focused on SS disbursements, not new cards/revenues, particularly illegal payments. Let’s see the receipts about that.
